What is the highest memory in a Dell computer?

"Most Dell computers an still only accept 8GB of Ram, however, as the move to 64 bit software is made, they have computers capable of accepting 128GB of RAM. Currently, that is more than even the most demanding programs really need."

Why boot files are not kept on the RAM chip but on ROM chip?

RAM is volatile - meaning that whenever power is taken away from it it is wiped.

ROM is non volatile - meaning that the data is always kept there whether there is power is there or not.

BOOT files which is basic machine code and is needed to boot up the computer to give the first BIOS (basic input output system) is kept on ROM because it is always kept there. If it was kept on RAM then it would be wiped everytime you turn the power off which would mean it would work.

Can laptop graphics memory be converted to dedicated memory from shared memory of RAM?

dedicated memory is memory which is only connected to the GPU. changing shared memory to dedicated memory would involve rewiring the laptop, which would be far more expensive and far more effort than buying dozens of laptops with dedicated memory.

What are 3 characteristics of Read only memory?

you can only read it, it has three words and it concerns computers

What is latest RAM Capacity for Home PC?

Generally, most new PC's can accept up to 4 gigabytes of memory.

Using more than 4 gigabytes requires a 64-bit operating system (such as 64-bit Windows) and a 64-bit capable processor, which few home PC's will have.

If a computer has no ram what files will not open and why?

If a computer has no ram inside, it, first of all, the PC will not boot. As memory is a factor of the PC actually starting up.

That is before any files being opened.

AnswerWithout RAM (Random Access Memory), none of the applications will run. Even the Operating System will not run.

What is a Random Access Memory 'RAM' cleaner?

??? WHA???Why would you think you need one? Every time you turn off your computer, RAM forgets everything. It's referred to as "volatile memory" because the power switch erases RAM every time the computer shuts down.

Why flipflops is called memory devices?

A flip-flop is an arrangement of gates that is capable of storing one bit of information. One bit is enough to make it a memory device. Collections of flip-flops can be assembled into registers of any width, and various techniques for loading and reading such as serial shift in/out or parallel may be implemented. Counters can also be built from flip-flops. In each case, the register holds data for as long as its input state is appropriate (depending on the type).

The ability to persist either of two states is what makes the flip-flop the prototype of all memory devices.

How many bytes in 1 terabyte?

10^12 bytes (1,000,000,000,000 or 1 trillion in the American numbering system). But thats for measuring storage (like hard drives).

When measuring RAM, multiples of 1024 are used, rather than multiples of 1000. This arises from the binary numbering system, where 2^10 = 1024. So a terabyte in RAM is (1024)^4 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, which is almost a 10% difference. See Related Link: Whatsabyte.

What type of memory looses its contents when power is removed?

The motherboard has a lithium battery on it that is juuuust strong enough to keep the memory from losing its data.

What size engine does a Dodge Ram Mega Cab have?

The 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab was offered with a choice of two different engines. These engines are the "5.9-liter High-Output Cummins Turbo Diesel" and the "5.7-liter HEMI V-8".

Can you extend the RAM from 1 to 2GB in an ASUS X101CH Netbook?

At first glance, accordingto Kingston, the X101 family has one DDR3 memory socket that can take a 2 GB module.

They advise that a BIOS update may be necessary, they come with Windows 7 Starter edition - depending on the version, it may restrict RAM to 1 GB

When you look at the machine, it has no memory access door, and taking off the bottom plate doesn't show any memory socket.

The memory socket requires almost complete disassembly of the machine and you have to remove the motherboard to access the socket

Evm006 insufficient memory when using ddr II in dos 6.22 - any solutions?

You probably don't have enough lower memory free. Make sure you have DOS loaded high, and that any necessary memory managers to make additional memory (such as EMM386 and HIMEM) are loaded.

Read only memory - keeps its memory even when the computer is turned off?

Yes, ROM (Read Only Memory) retains its contents even when the computer is turned off. RAM (Random Access Memory), on the other hand, loses its content the instant power is switched off.

What is meaning of ram skull?

Means that the animal is long dead...

What do you have to consider when adding memory modules to a computer?

When the computer starts to present loss of memory or becoming forgetful.

2 to 4 GB is a good amount of memory for any computer.

I don't anything about technology, what is a ddr memory?

DDR memory is the memory that computers use. A gig of DDR memory is usually around thirty dollars.
