Computer Memory

The computer memory is a physical device used to store data or programs for use in a computer. Some types of computer memory include RAM (random access memory), ROM (read-only memory), and page cache.

4,434 Questions

Which device holds the most information?

The hard drive in a computer system will hold the most information.

How much is the maximum storage of hard drive till now?

Typical plattered hard drives can be found in capacities of a few Terabytes at most. We are running into space limitations because the current platter system cannot handle much more than this anymore.

What type of RAM do most motherboards use?

Most current motherboards are using DDR3 SDRAM, although new higher-performing motherboards are starting to appear which use DDR4.

Maximum memory for my computer?

You can find out how much RAM (memory) is on your computer by checking the System Information dialog box to see the installed physical memory, or you can go to Control Panel. The amount of RAM you need depends on the operating system you are using. You also should consult your owners manual which will show you the number of slots on how much RAM it will accept.

How much RAM does Ubuntu 5.04 use?

It will "use" as much as you can give it. For a desktop installation, you will need at least 128 MB of RAM.

P.S. Ubuntu 5.10 is long obsolete. There is absolutely no reason to use it other than historical curiosity.

You have installed 1gb ram but it is showing 504mb?

if you have installed two 512 MB of ram, then it could be due to ram slot. may be your one ram slot is faulty.

With the help of a diagram explain memory hierarchy that exist in a computer system?

Memory hierarchy measures a computers performance issues. A general hierarchy would reflect the following. Internal ; processor registers and cache, main; ram and controller cards, on-line mass storage and online bulk-storage.

Does usb thumb drive is a RAM or ROM?

USB Flash Drive is an EEPROM

stands for Electrically ErasableProgrammable Read-Only Memory and is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices to store small amounts of data that must be saved when power is removed, e.g., calibration tables or device configuration.

What the meaning of 3072 DDR3 RAm?

3072 is how much memory the ram has and what ram does is it like short term memory so when you are using any program it is using ram.

ddr3 is the type of ram, it just means it is a little better then ddr2.

What exactly does RAM do you know its random access memory and its about the computer speed but how?

Think of a computer as a person who's doing paperwork on a desk. Now, increasing memory increases the size of the person's "desk", or the total working space of your computer. It doesn't make the person (or processor) actually working faster, but it does give it a bit of relief if there are a lot of papers (or running applications)

The size of the memory itself does not really change the speed of the computer unless demanding applications use it all up, at which point the rest of the memory is taken from the hard-drive, which can impact performance since hard-drive are usually very slower than RAM.

Now, the speed or clock of RAM does have an effect on processor speed, as it determines how fast can the CPU transfer data back and forth to the memory.

If the RAM is slower than the rate recommended for a given CPU and motherboard, it will very likely impact performance, as the RAM will not be able to keep up with the CPU, and that'll cause slowdowns.

What are all known memory storage MB GB TB?

Computer memory stores information as a binary representation (1/0) so the smallest unit of storage is the single "bit". However, when talking about storage people find it more useful to use the term "Byte" which is a unit of 8 bits.

When talking about volumes of storage the convention is to then prefix the word "Byte" with the SI, metric nomenclature denoting magnitudes.

Kilo (1000) (kB)

Mega (1000000) (MB)

Giga (1000000000) (GB)

Tera (1000000000000) (TB)

Peta (1000000000000000) (PB)

Exa (1000000000000000000) (XB)

Zetta (1000000000000000000000) (ZB)

Yotta (1000000000000000000000000) (YB)

What is coppy command?

A copy command for the computer is a function that lets you copy a photo or text. Once copied this photo or text can be pasted elsewhere.

Can you mix ddr 266 and ddr 333?

Yes, absolutely because DDR rated for higher frequencies are also backward compatible. Just pay attention to the DDR generation because you DDR-I is not compatible with DDR-II.

Advantages of an Accumulator based CPU?

[1] the accumulator is meant to be an operand. so there is no requirement for the operand address field for one operand in the instruction. this results in short of CPU supports zero address instructions. Normally CPUs have two types of instructions:

1)zero address
2)single address

the single address instruction have one operand in main memory and the other in accumulator.

[2] instruction cycle takes less time. it saves time in instruction fetching due to the absence of operand fetching due to the absence of operand fetch.

What is buffered memory?

Memory modules that utilize temporary storage areas (known as buffers) to help manage the data sent to the memory by the memory controller. Buffers act as current regulators keeping the amount of current flowing to and from the chips at optimal levels. The purpose of this is to allow for more memory chips on modules by keeping the memory from being overloaded by the chipset. It can also be used to allow more modules to be used in the system. Not all systems can use buffered memory; the type of memory required is dependent upon the computer's memory controller.

Buffered memory is an older term for registered memory.

However, some new large systems use "fully buffered memory". In normal registered/buffered memory only the control lines are buffered, in fully buffered memory the data lines are buffered as well.

Is ROM primary memory or secondary memory?

whenever i try to trade it says saving error exchange the backup memory please tell me why is this happening please :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is shadow register?

The ShadowRegs user module creates a RAM variable (the shadow register) that caches values written to

a port data register (PRTxDR). Usage of a shadow register enables CPU control of an individual GPIO

output pin without the risk of corrupting the settings of other GPIO pins sharing the same port.
