Why do Pentiums require SIMM be installed?
Any computer, an intelligent machine, will require some form of memory for fast storage/executions. This is called Volatile memory - Primary Storage. The computer will store programs in the memory and call them with the program register located inside the processor. This is why it takes so little time to perform tasks on computers. You can thank transistors for making your life much easier. The older computers (Early 40s) used vacuum tubes.
