What do you understand by RAM?
RAM IS ALSO CALLED "Random Access Memory"....by Rod Arnie from Philippines.
Area of the computer that stores temporary info internally while the computer is on?
the ram memory and the kernel cacheRAM
What is another name for RAM?
Random Access Memory is also known as the Main Memory or the Internal Memory.
Features of SRAM?
SRAM is also referred to as Static random-access memory. SRAM is used memory which utilizes semiconductors and is used with electronics and other computer applications. SRAM features random access memory and data that is held statically.
Read-only memory is also referred to as main memory or primary memory?
False. The main or primary memory is the Random Access Memory that is both readable and writable.
What is the full meaning of RAM?
The full form of RAM is random access memory. Ram is volatile. Volatile chips don't hold the same data. Program and data can be written to and erased from RAM as needed. RAM can be found various places in a computer system. RAM's job is to hold programs and data while they are in use. Now a days we also found NVRAM. The full form of NVRAM is non-volatile random access memory. Non-volatile chips can hold the data, even the main power is turned off.
What is storage of a computer?
The storage of a computer is in the hard drive. There is also the random access memory which temporarily stores data.
Is random RAM also volatile?
Yes, or at least Mostly Yes. RAM is random (RAM=Random Access Memory) and most forms of RAM today are volatile. But magnetic core memory (from the 1950s, now only available in museums) is not.
What does RAM mean in talking about a computer?
RAM stands for Random Access Memory.The term Random Access refers to the fact that the computer can read or write to any specific addresses in any order required. It does not have to be gone through sequentially. This is the memory the computer works with when it is running a program ... as opposed to the storage memory of disk drives. While disk drives are also random access, they are not referred to as such. Disk drives are much slower, so the code the computer is working with is copied into RAM while it is using it, along with any data it might be working with.
Who invented the random access memory?
The first random access memory was the Williams-Kilburn Tube (a type of cathode ray tube - CRT) invented by Freddie Williamsand Tom Kilburn in 1946 at the University of Manchester in England. It was a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) like most modern semiconductor random access memory, and like them needed to be refreshed periodically to prevent loss of data due to the gradual discharge of the capacitances used to store bits. Unlike modern semiconductor random access memory, addressing of the memory used analog waveforms which made the Williams-Kilburn Tube sensitive to drift, temperature changes, power stability, etc.It was very popular on large high speed computers until ferrite magnetic core memory began to replace it after 1954. Magnetic core memory had the advantages of being nonvolatile static random access memory (NOVSRAM) meaning it not only needed no refresh but also retained data while power was off, as well as having all digital addressing.
Is ROM random access memory?
ROM stands for Read only memory.I business world it is also used for Rough order magnitude
What temporarily holds data and programs while computer is on?
The RAM (random access memory) usually stores temporary files and cache to help speed up your computer by not having to repeatedly load the same thing but is you do not restart your computer the RAM will become full and it will slow down your computer so every now and then just restart the computer for best performance.
