No computer yet built uses such memory. They use a variety of electronic memory or magnetic memory types (some very early ones used mechanical or acoustic delay memory, but these are very slow and bulky and were rapidly replaced with ferrite core magnetic memory when it was developed).

How does the computer that Konrad Zuse invented work?

Konrad Zuse invented a number of different calculating machines, most of them being named by a Z followed by a number. His first machine, the Z1, was entirely mechanical. Starting with the Z2, relays were used, though the memory stayed mechanical. The Z3 used relay based memory, though the Z4 reverted back to mechanical. The mechanical memory had an advantage in size. The Z4's memory took less than one cubic meter to hold an amount of data that would have required a relay based memory occupying a large room to hold. Later computers were vacuum tube based (the Z22) and eventually moved to transistors. However, when Zuse was first working on his machines, vacuum tubes were not available in the quantities he needed in WWII Germany.


Use of computers in public life?

Computers have helped many have a social life. This is based on social media sites, where many people publicly post updates.


How was technology use to make the computer?

Different computers at different times used whatever technologies were available at that time.The Charles Babbage analytical engine (digital, mechanical) was based on gears and cams.The MIT differential analyzer (analog, mechanical) was based on glass disk and ball integrator technology.The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (digital, mostly electronic) was based on vacuum tubes, capacitors, and a drive motor for timing.The Harvard Mark 1 (digital, electromechanical) used mechanical counters, clutches, relays, etc.The Colossus (digital, electronic, code breaking) was based on vacuum tubes, and very high speed paper tape.The ENIAC (digital, electronic) was based on vacuum tubes.First generation digital computers were based on vacuum tubes and sometimes germanium point contact diodes.Second generation digital computers were based on bipolar junction transistors (initially germanium then silicon).Third generation digital computers were based on silicon integrated circuits (some high speed computers of this generation used gallium arsenide integrated circuits).Fourth generation digital computers were based on silicon microprocessor integrated circuits.Some experimental computers have been built using optical technology.etc.

What are the best computers to buy based on price and memory?

"The best computers to buy are HPs or dells. The most expensive computers are Apple computers. Apples are worth the price if you have $1500 to spend on a laptop. If not, you can buy a nice HP for $600."

How are microcomputers classified as?

Microcomputers are classified based on their processing power, memory capacity, and physical size. They are often categorized as personal computers (PCs) and include desktop computers, laptops, and tablets. Additionally, they can be classified as single-board computers, which are full-fledged computers on a single circuit board.

Who discovered alpha 1?

Alpha-1 antitrypsin was discovered by Dr. Laurell and Dr. Eriksson in 1963. They identified it as a serum protein and named it alpha-1-antitrypsin based on its ability to inhibit the enzyme trypsin.


How is human memory similar to computer and how do they differ?

you mean how do a computer and the human brain correlate. in short, they dont. computers use only on and off states, the brain is vastly more complicated, the interactions based on chemical and electrical gradients rather than discrete values.


What is himemsys?

Wow, this is an old subject. HIMEM.SYS is an extention to the memory manager in the DOS operating system. HIMEM.SYS gained access to memory above 640K on Intel 80286 and later based IBM PC and Compatible computers. It allowed the operating system to use memory above 1024 kilobytes as extended memory. It needed to be loaded into the config.sys script used in the boot sequence ahead of the second extention to the memory manager named EMM386.SYS. The EMM386.SYS added LIM 3.0 expanded memory, and access to the upper memory block (RAM between 640k and 1024k) on 80386 class and later PC computers equipped with a BIOS that enabled a process called "Shadow RAM". This program was an issue until Windows XP eliminated the need for DOS to be a shell below windows. COnsider your life enriched that you don't have to deal with memory management on computers like we used to back when DOS ruled.


Are windows laptop computers expensive?

Most window's-based laptops are not expensive, although the cost of the laptop is dependent on the individual specification of the device. Larger memory and hard drive and faster computing will increase the price.


What are the differences in protein content between lentils and meat?

Lentils are plant-based and contain lower protein content compared to meat, which is animal-based and generally has higher protein content.


Classification of computers according to capabilities?

What are the different types of protein available for consumption?

There are three main types of protein available for consumption: animal-based proteins, plant-based proteins, and protein supplements. Animal-based proteins include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Plant-based proteins include beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, and grains. Protein supplements, such as whey protein powder, are also available for those looking to increase their protein intake.
