How much RAM memory is recommended for a PC when running Microsoft Word 2007?

Well as of now, I'm sure that you would need a relatively high amount because I'm sure that even Windows 2000 can run that application. So if you can run Windows 2000 or up, you have enough RAM.

Do both memory slots on a motherboard have to be used?

No, unless you want more memory and have exceeded the amount that one slot is able to carry

Main memory is used to store data permanently.?

No. It is usually used to help run the programs your are running at that moment and store other associated data.

I like Kingston memory cards. Does Kingston make RAM?

Kingston makes several different types of RAM hardware, including system specific RAM and a value priced line.

How many yottabytes in a carabyte?

While not yet sanctioned officially as an SI Unit, it is likely that 1 carabyte will be adopted as 1000 yottabytes - will be needed by 2020.

Computer wont recognize more ram?

If you've installed more than 4 gigabytes of memory, you're going to have to upgrade to the 64-bit version of Windows XP to recognize it all. A 32-bit operating system is only able to recognize about 3.4 gigabytes of RAM.

The computer, of course, will recognize that memory; and there are products on the market that will let you use the extra memory as a RAM drive. I'm still using the 32-bit version of XP, until I can afford Windows 7, and I have my swap file on the 4.5 GB RAM drive. I notice a substantial increase in speed with programs that do a lot of swapping to the hard drive.

Describe declarative and nondeclarative memory working conjunction with long term memory storage?

Declarative memory is that branch of memory that is based on "conscious recall" or the bringing back to mind of past events or personal experience where a minds eye image can be formed (Ridley, 1995). It can be sub-divided into semantic (trivial memory) and episodic memory (based on an event). The aspect about it that is interesting, in contrast to non-declarativerecall, is the fact that it is non-obligatory or facultative that is to say it is information or memories that can be disregarded or taken into account in the long term or short term in the carrying out of a related task or behaviour. Non-declarative memory is obligate and is characterized by its need to be obligate. Squire (1992), tells us that non-declarative memory may be linked to the following behaviours or actions as examples; 1) skills and habits 2) non-associative learning (i.e. to an event) 3) priming (memories driven by stimuli, not a conscious decision) 4) simple classical conditioning No image can be formed from these other thabn the "source memory" i.e. the instance of obtaining such "skills" etc. (See Baddeley, 2001) Both work in unison to provide effective long-term memory but are different.

Need for memory Hierarchy?

memory is required to store the data or any information.but the usual computers have very less memory space in them. so to increase the performance of your computer and to access it on a faster rate we need memory hierarchy.

Who does ram hand to hand courier adverts?

What letter symbol represents bit?

In general use, a lowercase 'b' represents the unit bit (56 kbps = 56 kilobits per second)

This is not to be confused with an uppercase 'B' which, in a similar context, represents the unit 'Byte' (a Byte is made up of eight bits).

The bit is not defined in the International System of Units (SI), The International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC 60027 gives the symbol for a binary digit as bit(including kbit, mbit etc), and the lower-case letter b was recommended by the IEEE 1541 Standard (2002).

What is dram shop laws?

Laws that allow someone hurt by a drunk to sue the shop that sold the drunk the liquor.

When information is sent from the CPU to memory or some other device this is considered?

Data and instructions from an input device are sent to the CPU. When the time is right, the control unit sends this information from the device to the arithmetic/logic unit, where an arithmetic operation or logical operation is performed. After being processed, the information is sent to memory, where it is held until it is ready to be released to an output unit. Basically, it is a form of storage.

How does one obtain a perfect memory?

Perfect memory would be photographic memory, where as if you read something like a book, you would remember the exact words and the order the book went. This abilty could be obtained from years of intense memory practice, or just a natural genetic talent.

What type of RAM would a computer with an Intel Pentium 4 1.7 GHz processor have?

Motherboards of that era would have had a either a combination of the older SDR SDRAM (PC100 or PC133 RAM) and DDR SDRAM, or just DDR SDRAM.For best performance, you would want to use the DDR slots.

Does your memory has a direction?

The memory in the computer called RAM contains data. For instance if you open Microsft Word then that progrom is loaded into your RAM memory. This makes the program rum faster because the CPU does not have to access it from the hard drive which is a slow process. So the data in memory travels from the RAM to the CPU for processing. The other way RAM travels with with your video card. Video cards have a direct link to the CPU so they can process faster, this includes memory. So memory travels to the CPU and to the Video when needing. Remember memory does not travel anyware, its the data inside the memory that travels. Hope this helps.

Is there a problem with having two hard drives with different file systems on the same computer many thanks?

If you have two hard drives, and one is an IDEE drive using fat32 file structure, and the other is a different kind of drive and file system, your operating system may have difficulty accessing files on one or the other of your hard drives. This is not usually a problem with Windows XP, but older operating systems may not see one or the other of the drives.

What allows a computer to turn free space on a hard disk into temporary RAM?

I think virtual memory is a place on the hard drive used for memory other than the ram so virtual memory is it.

How many hard copy pages can a 128 GB flash drive hold?

Approximately how many hard-copy pages of documents could be stored on the flash drive by an employee.

How much memory should you purchase for a dell desktop?

That depends on how much memory capacity the computer has, and what you want to do with it. If there is a program that you need to run that won't run, it could be memory problems, and you could check the box the software came in and compare it to your system specifications to see if they match up... and if they don't, and there is more capacity, then buy some memory.

If things seem to work fine with no software hang-ups, then you're probably okay.

If you're a zillionaire just looking for something to do with your money, then sure... buy as much memory as it will hold. I always want to do that too. :) But while you're at it, you might want to get a better computer and an extra hard drive, and some S-video and a Blu-Ray player so you can watch movies on your 60-inch flat screen as well. :) ... And hey, if we're watching movies, maybe some popcorn too. ;)
