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.

Depends upon your definition of "outdated". For most users, for word processing, or internet access, a PC can last as much as 4 years. For someone with more intensive needs, who needs to run the latest versions of software, probably 1-2 years. If you need to run the latest games as fast as possible, and wow your friends, we may be talking 6 months.
What ram is best compared to speeds?
The ram of a computer is just how fast it can look something up in the least amount of time, and the speed is how fast it can process what the ram found.
What is the similarities and differences between main memory and flash memory?
Main memory (commonly called RAM) is high speed, "dynamic" memory, used by the processor to run applications. Dynamic memory does not retain information after the computer is turned off, but it stores applications' program data while the computer is still running.
Flash memory tends to be a bit slower than RAM, and can be used in much the same manner as a physical disk drive, not losing its data when it loses its power supply. Flash memory can be used in digital cameras, removable flash drives, and now with the advent of SSD's (Solid State Drive), as a replacement to HDD's (Hard Disk Drive) in computers.
240-pin DDR3 dimm is currently the fastest memory. it can support quad, triple, or dual channels or be installed as a single dimm. it has an offset notch father from the center than a ddr2 dimm
You have 40gb memory and 632 MB ram in the computerhow much can you add?
I think you mean 40 GB of Hard Disk. There is nothing called 632 MB of RAM. RAM comes normally 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 MBs. You can add memory depending upon your motherboard. However 512 MB of RAM is good enough.
Which two materials should be used to clean the RAM module?
Use the air dusters that you use for your key board.
These are different and unrelated terms. SATA is a bus for connecting data storage devices to a motherboard. DDR is a type of memory.
You're confusing memory with storage. Your hard disc provides data storage capacity for files, programs, and documents, while your computer's RAM (random access memory, one or more modules of memory circuit boards) provides the working memory that your computer uses when it is running software. When you start a software program, your operating system reads the program executable file from your hard disc into RAM (working memory). The amount of working memory needed for the program may be more or less than the actual size of the program executable file (due to code overlays and external library references), but it sounds like what is happening to you is that there is not enough free memory resources available when you try to load the program.
The fix? Add more RAM memory modules (if your computer's motherboard isn't already at capacity), and / or increase the size of your paging file, which is used to "emulate" extra RAM. In windows, Start... Settings... Control Panel... System... Advanced... Performance... Settings...Advanced... Virtual Memory... Change. You will see the location and size of your paging file... make it larger and click "Set", "OK." If you make it much larger than twice the size of your actual physical RAM you may notice a performance degradation.
How many bytes does null occupy?
In most languages with a null reference, it is simply a memory address to a zero-length memory block. So the only memory it would occupy in these cases would be enough for a memory pointer: usually around 4 bytes.
Is memory size of mini computer is higher than micro computer?
Yes, with a small disclaimer.
A micro computer, also known as a computer chip or chip is tiny, generally smaller than your finger. The memory available here is contained inside the chip. Size generally around kilo Bytes to mega Bytes.
A mini computer is big. It is like a personal computer on steroids but still not as good a super computer. When referring to the memory here we usually think of separate memory modules, just like what you have in your home computer. Size generally from Giga Bytes and up.
A mini computer does however consist of chips and this is where my disclaimer comes in. Chips interface external memory (which is also built of chips..) and the only limit here depends on how much the chip can address.
Forgive my sloppiness and note that a micro computer chip is quite different from a memory chip, as the memory chip mainly stores and trancieves data while the micro computer can also execute a man made program...
Define computer RAM include various types and speeds and todays fastest?
Random Access Memory comes in only one flavour. On a daily basis inprovements in ARM speed are announced. If you put RAM in you computer that your computer cannot use then you are wasting money on the fastest RAM there is
What are auxiliary storage devices measured in?
Depends on the size, but today they are usually measured in Gigabytes, although older devices might be measured in Megabytes.
What is enough space on a laptop?
Honestly, that all depends on what you need. Everyone is different. It is all relative.
You have probably noticed that computers (laptops especially) are having more and more space as newer versions come out.
You can find a decently affordable laptop now days with something like 250GB hard drive(a very nice portion of space ) and 2GB (or more) or RAM. (should be plenty, usually).
The specifications above are usually somewhat standard now days. Unless you are a user who needs alot more space than the average person, I think that is your best bet.
Look below for some helpful questions to ask yourselve when considering space:
You might want to consider a few questions when you are thinking about how much space you need:
- What will you use it for?
Will you put a lot of programs and pictures on it, or do you just want a basic computer to do pretty basic things on, like surfing the web.
- If you had a computer previously, were you satisfied with the amount of space on it, or would you like to have more?
- Again, related to the first question: Do you find yourself having a lot of music or pictures on a computer?
This will mean that you probably will have a lot of files and will thus want more disk space.
- Also, how important is cost versus space for you?
- You will also want to consider other features that you are looking for besides space.
It really all depends on you.
Hope that helps
What is the difference between DDR1 and DDR2?

240 mega bytes equals how many adobe pdf pages?
It depends a great deal on what's on the pages - images take more space than text. Very roughly 1 page takes 20kbytes, so 240Mbytes would be 12,000 pages.
Can you upgrade 256mb pc133 SDram to 512mb PC133 sdram?
Yes, provided you computer BIOS (Basic Input Output System) supports it you can upgrade to any amount
What is difference tetra bytes technology and giga bytes?
Its not tetra its terra. Its is a measurement in the powers of 10.
as you know kilobyte means 1000 bytes
A megabyte is a million bytes
A giga byte is a billion bytes
A terra byte is a trillion bytes
then there are peta-, exa-, zetta- and lastly yotta-
A yottabyte is:
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000 bytes.
Brownout reset is a circuit that forces the microprocessor to reset if there is a short interruption of power - one that is long enough to disrupt operation, but not long enough to force a normal power on reset. It is usually a diode, resistor, and capacitor. The diode discharges the capacitor quickly when Vcc goes away, and the resistor charges the capacitor slower when Vcc comes back.
OnBoard memory is internal memory which is soldered to the motherboard as all compters need memory. it is normal for all computers have have memory upgrade slots. not all onboard memory can be removed,
What is the correct memory for a G4 PowerBook?
There have been several different models of G4 PowerBooks, with different processor speeds, display sizes, and even enclosure styles. Different models take different types of memory. (This contributor will try to update with a specific list in the future, but in the meantime, please consult the links below to assist you with selecting the best memory for your particular PowerBook).
Are SAM and RAM used in computer system?
Although these two acronyms can mean many things, the most common meanings with regard to computers are "random access memory" (or RAM), in contradistinction to "serial access memory" (or SAM). Each of these are ways to organize stored data in a computer.
