Is ram memory saved when you shut off the computer?
No, it's not. That's why when you reboot, everything has to be reloaded in the system again like the operating system and software you use. The hard drive stores it and then reloads it on each reboot.
Single sided DIMM is an oxymoron like calling a bald person curly. DIMM stands for dual inline memory module. A single inline memory module is obviously a SIMM, but since the acronym was never used back then, there was no demand to ask for them when DIMMs were invented.
Why does a washing machine and other electrical devices have ROM and RAM?
why do washing machines have rom+ram
<><><><>
ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory) relate to memory in a computer. Not all electrical devices have it. Most washing machines do not.
When did they stop using battering ram?
in the late middle ages when battering 'cannons' were introduced
Cache memory and register memory?
Register memory are smaller in size than cache memory and registers are faster than cache..
Cache memory store the frequently used data from main memory..
Is volatile memory or nonvolatile memory faster?
Volatile memory is temporary. Non-volatile is used for storing information after the the computer is shut down.
What is the difference between storage devices and memory?
Storage devices are like a memory stick, iPod, floppy disk, etc. Basically anything that you can take with you and put in your pocket is a storage device. Memory is data that is stored into the computer that can be put on to a storage device.
Storage devices: Hard drives, CD, DVD, BluRay disc, floppy disc, flash drive.
Used to store data.
Memory: RAM
Used to store data which is only recognized by the computer. If current is terminated data is lost from the memory.
Where can a picture of RAM -- a computer's random access memory -- be found?
At the Google Web site, click Images at the top menu, and search on "random access memory".
Which memory is better ram or hard drive?
RAM is called Random Access Memory. It is temporary storage and loses all of its data if the electricity is cut off to it. For example, if you open Microsoft Word, that program is loaded into RAM so that your CPU can access it faster. Now if you are typing away and have not saved your work and the computer shuts off then you will have lost everything you typed. Thus, temporary storage. On the other hand, hard drives hold data forever until you delete the data.
Is there any information that saves in ram memory?
no.. as you turn off your computer everything is lost..
Yes it is possible to have 5 GB of RAM on a computer, because I have had a computer that has had 6 GB of RAM on it.
Who manufactures pureview LCD TV?
PureView is manufactured in Sri Lanka for a Indian Company.
Basically it is an Indian Product. The first LCD monitor manufacturing company in India.
What device is considered a volatile storage?
Normally Volatile memory or storage is the real memory in the computer. It is volatile because if the power fails or is turned off the memory (RAM) is erased or reset.
How many gib of ddr ram equals 2048?
if by GIBs you mean GIGs
1 GIG = 1024 MegaBytes
im Assuming 2048 is in Megabytes
so 2048/1024 = 2
2 GIGS = 2048 Megs
Does a windows xp computer have a slot for an extra memory card?
The operating system (WindowsXP) does not determine if you have free memory slots. The easiest way to find out is open up the PC and look to see if there's any free RAM slots. They are located right next to the fan on the main circuit board (motherboard), about 5" long, and are usually facing vertically.
What part of memory cannot be changed by a programmer?
ROM (read only memory) for example boot manager
How do you restore previous computer settings?

How does photographic memory work?

Which type of ROM is used in pen drive?
EEPROM because it can programmed and re rewritten any number of times by electric charge .
Why does it say available memory is 614 mb when there is 1024 mb in the computer?
Any program running on your computer requires an amount of memory to function. The amount can vary depending on the software running and it's intended purpose. You operating system is a software program or more accurately, a collection of programs. All of the processes and tasks it performs require memory. This is why 410Mb of memory is un available; it's already in use by processes running on the computer. When the memory you have is all used up, then windows uses something called "virtual memory" which is basically one or more temporary files on your hardisk (also known as swap files). When there is no memory available, windows will use virtual memory instead (where possible). Writing and reading data with a hard disk is much slower than using memory. This is one major reason why increasing memory size (reducing the need to use virtual memory) improves the overall performance of a computer.
