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.
a computer term that refers to "readily accessible memory" this is the physical chip memory that the computer uses for quick or short term usage a computer term that refers to "readily accessible memory" this is the physical chip memory that the computer uses for quick or short term usage
Cache memory is a fast memory which act as a buffer memory between the main memory and the processor.It helps to increase the overall speed of the system.The data which are repeatedly used during the processing of information are loaded on to the cache memory so that each time the processor don't have to access the same from the main memory.Due to this the CPU doesn't have to use the mother board's system bus for data transfer.With the help of cache memory we can reduce the problem of bottle neck of the system bus.
What Data travels from RAM to the CPU on the?
only the temporary data which can not be seen by any of the user expect PROs it could be a password, the work sheet you are working. any unsaved data that you playing games or writing.
What would be the result if a computer had only RAM and no secondary storage device?
Modern RAM (Random Access Memory) is a high speed semiconductor storage media that only retains information as long as power going through it. In any device that has no form of hard memory (ie. Solidstate or Disk drives), it will not keep information. As soon as the computer is turned off all the information on the RAM will be lost and you wont be able to get it back. There is some RAM that will keep information, however the amount kept is simply enough for your computer to know where the chips on the motherboard are and computer statistics.
The result would be a computer with no operating system. With no operating system you could not load a web browser or do anything on your computer except play with the boring menus you see when you start up the computer.
It means that there are ninety nine billion addresses which can contain data in the Random Access Memory (this might be the case for a super computer or a large mainframe). Most PC's seldom have more than 16 Gigabytes of RAM (fall 2009) Windows Operating Systems prior to XP could not address more than 4.
What happens if you put in a memory card into computer while its still on?
If you put a memory stick into card reader, it mostly will be recognized as a removable drive. If you put a RAM module into slot of the mainboard while computer is on, then it mostly will cause severe damage to RAM module or mainboard components.
Can a motherboard installs different size DIMM memory?
No.
A motherboard will specify what type of memory it supports. The DIMM slot for DDR,DDR2 and DDR3 have different footprints.
What type of memory would a PC most likely use to hold an application you are currently using?
Todays Computers use DDR2 or DDR3. In rare cases, they may use DDR4. DDR means Double Data Rate. A application can run good on 512 MB on DDR2.

What are two types of computer memory and their function?
The 2 types of computer memory are ROM and RAM. These stand for Read Only Memory and Random Access Memory, respectively. Read Only memory is the type of memory that is non-volatile, which means that the data contained here is never lost, even when the computer is shut down. RAM on the other hand is the type of memory which is volatile-- which can be lost the moment the computer is turned off. It temporarily just stores the data that's being processed when the computer is on.
Which memory is used during startup computer?
RAM (random access memory) in order for the operating system to run, RAM must be inside the computer.
How virtual computer differs from normal computer?
A virtual computer is a computer within a computer. Virtual Machine a program you can download will allow you to make a VC (virtual computer). On the VC you can install any operating system you want such as Win 7, XP, Vista, etc.. The VC will use part of your computers memory and processing power that you allow it to use. The VC is a good way to expierement with new operating systems or download something that you are unsure of.
How does processor speed and RAM affect page load and download speeds?
They have almost not effect on download speeds. Unless you had a ridiculously fast connection and hard drive and a very old processor with vary little ram. Page loads could be slow because of insufficient ram though. Check your task manager and make sure it is not being all used up. The speed of your connection is probably the bottleneck however.
RDRAM stand for Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory. (by RADA)
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. This memory is used by a computer or other electronic device when it is on to store things temporally. In most cases, the RAM is lost when the unit is powered off.

Gmod lags on my PC I have 2gb ram 128mb Nvidia Geforce 7100gs core 2 duo 1.8 and vista premium?
Buy a better computer..not good enough.
What is the difference between ram and the ias?
RAM means Random Access Memory. It's a plugin in to the motherboard for the process to use temporary memory.
IAS means Instant access store, It is on the processor chip itself.
How do you know if you have 128MB of RAM memory on your computer?
You click on the start menu, right click on my computer, and click properties. That should give you the information you need to know.
Why does fast access RAM improve overall performance of a computer system?
The term 'random access' is used because this kind of memory cn be accessed directly (in any order) if a cell's address is given. Only data stored in RAM can be manipulated,thereforeevery program that needs to be executed must be place in the main memory. The amount of main memory is crucial because it determines how many programs can be executed at the same time. The larger the amount of RAM the better the computer response.
