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.

Is a CPU external or internal?

A CPU is internal.

Edit:

It also has nothing to do with the computer memory category.

How many types of memory?

There is long term memory, in which your brain stores information for an extended amount of time. Short term memory is held with active rehearsal and can hold about 7 different ideas.

How do you ghost from hard disk to hard disk?

The best tool that I have ever used to ghost a hard drive image to another hard drive is Symantec's Ghost software. Simply set up two hard drives and boot from Ghost's cd. Setup the program to copy from one location to the other and you will end up with a perfect clone.

What does SO DIMM mean?

SODIMM is a term that applies to laptop memory. The "SO" prefix stands for "Small Outline".

What does ECCS stand for?

Engine Computer Control System

*- Also regarding Nissan 720 p/u Z24, ECCS can stand for Electronic Concentrated Control System ( I know 85's have this & 84 Calif. mod not sure what other years). System function is to control the fuel/air mixture at carb, it consists of following subsystems and components: spark plug switching control (switchs from 4-8 active plugs when needed), fuel shut off control (shuts off fuel during deceleration), fuel mixture heater (fitted under carb to heat fuel for better vaporization/burn), air fuel ratio control solenoid ( located in carb is the actual air/fuel mixer, different voltage inputs cause it to stay within certain values 14.7to1 I think!), O2 sensor, H2O temp sensor, throttle valve switch (located on side of carb sends throttle points to computer), vacuum switch on Int. manifold, clutch switch, neutral switch, inhibitor switch(A/T). On Z20 engines the ECCS incorporates a detonation sensor subsystem ( senses engine knock/ compensates). I've been unable to find a wiring diagram for insides of this control system nor any testing instructions, unit has one green light on side facing engine, I've yet to attempt checking it for any diag. codes (most of these units have a red and green light, however this year/model has only one green, will check it for slow/fast blink codes and update as needed. Sorry got carried away, toomuch info perhaps, but I like to be thorough.

What does RAM allow your computer to do quickly?

RAM alowes the computer to load the computer things faster Another answer:

Ram stands for Random Access Memory. A disk loads data into ram. Rather than have the disk return to one spot for the disk drive spot to pick up the next piece of data, the central processing unit can simply go to the RAM and get it. It is not restricted by the speed of a piece of machinery.

What are the system requirements for installing a Windows Virtual Machine?

The system requirements to installing a virtual Windows machine on a computer are simple - Any 64bit processor, at least 2Gb of free memory and 750Mb of free hard disk space.

Pictures of ddr2 and ddr1?

You can look for pictures of various memory types (individual chips and memory modules) by doing a google images search or on Wikipedia.

When adding memory to a computer do you have to replace old memory with all new memory of the same brand?

No, brand does not matter. You must make sure that the memory is of the same type though. When picking out RAM, look at the sticks that are already in your computer. There should be a paper label on one side that tells the type, size and speed. Look for something like PC2-6400 or PC3-12800 etc. This tells you the type and speed of the memory. If it's PC2, you need DDR2 RAM of the same speed. PC3 means you need DDR3 RAM. The whole set, such as PC2-6400 is the speed.

Be careful when inspecting your RAM or you can damage it. Only hold it by the edges. Unplug the computer and touch a metal part of your computer case before you take out the RAM.

Note that if you have a 32-bit OS like Windows XP, then adding more than 4GB or RAM is futile. 64-bit systems like Vista-64 or Windows 7 can have far more RAM than your computer can hold.

Will food coloring work in a inkjet printer?

No, Food coloring is a dye not an ink or paint. I wonder whom posted this and are they in anyway shape and form affiliated with ink manufacturing?

What is a unit of measurement used with computer system byte megabyte gigabyte all of the above?

All of the above. I forget the exact amount, but a couple of bytes equals a kilobyte, a couple of kilobytes equals a megabyte, a couple of megabytes equals a gigabyte, and a couple of gigabytes equals a terabytes. You can even go further by saying a couple of terabytes equals an exobyte.

Describe how a computer system operates without virtual memory?

A computer can still operate without virtual memory (virtual memory is just hard drive space that is set aside to allow the computer to swap data to and from actual RAM). It is just that on a modern multitasking system things could slow down if you have a lot of things going on and the system is reaching its memory limit. With virtual memory turned off a system with minimal memory will tend to really slow down a lot. It may not be as bad on a system with lots of memory (like 2GB or more).

How to find Memory utilization by file?

STEPS:-

1.Open task manager(CTRL+ALT+DEL)

2.Click processes tab

3.Then see the CPU and memory usage by the application

How can the installation of RAM affect the clock speed of the processor?

It doesn't; the clock speed of your RAM is governed by your Front Side Bus clock frequency.

With more RAM installed your PC will run faster, but the CPU clock speed is not responsible for this.

Actually,installing RAM would never effect the processor speed .AS there is a clock generator(eg:8284-A which was being used in the 8086 processor long back) which determines the clock of of the processor which in term is responsible for the speed of the processor.for eg:Every read or write operation takes 4 clock cycle for instance & if ur processor's clock speed is 1 mega hZ frequency i.e a clock pulse is of 1 micro seconds i.e ur write operation will take 4 micro sec & suppose my processors's clock speed is 2 mega hZ frequency i.e a clock pulse is of 0.5 micro seconds i.e my write operation will take only 2 micro second.

now what actually RAm is? it is just a temporary memmory provided to the prcessor for communication. processor hardly communicates with the hard disk. whatever data is required by processor it is first transfered to the RAm first and processor retrives it from there.so if u have larger RAm large data can be stored in it & would not want it regularly from the hard disk. there r a lot of other things involved like the type of architecture and cache memmory.however ,i hope i would have answered to this question.

What are memory dumps?

Memory dumps are nothing but Certification exam dumps which are provided by some companies. Dumps really means you can pass that certification exam without studying deeply. To obtain dumps for certification exams, http://www.dumpsquestions.com

Which RAM module has the smallest number of pins?

The 72-pin SODIMM is the smallest pin count. Used in laptops.

Is RAM volatile to the motherboard?

The ram won't harm your motherboard unless it is the incorrect type of ram and was forced into place.

Google it first please :D

What is 960 MB RAM?

960 megabytes in gigabytes is 0.96 gigabytes as 1000mb = 1gb
