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.

What is the Crucial memory finder?

Crucial Memory Finder is an online company that sells RAM Memory upgrades, Hard Drives, SSD tools, and other computer accessories. This company offers discounted shipping for larger orders.

What is a level 1 cache memory?

8kb to kb64

Improving on numbers that don't actually answer the question, L1 Cache memory is burnt into the CPU die, made of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) that operates at a very high transfer rate. It is used to temporarily store simple data strings for the CPU to access in order to better prioritize data. L1 Cache is very expensive to produce, so capacities are usually very small. Larger L1 Cache increases the accuracy of CPU data operations to a point, so processor manufacturers tend to aim for a sweet spot rather than too much or too little L1.

Is ddr3l is backward compactible with ddr3?

DDR3 operates at 1.5v, but DDR3L operates at 1.3v.

But it said that DDR3L is compatible with DDR3L.

Do we need to make any changes/initialisation for using DDR3L with DDR3.?

Thanks

Which volatile memory can be deleted?

When the machine is shut off all Volatile memory is gone for the most part.

How can you differentiate the DDR RAM and DDR2 RAM using software?

If you are trying to find what kind of memory is used in a computer using a software, there are software utilities which can help you find details of memory installed on a machine. One good utility is cpu-z from the following website:

http://www.cpuid.com/

It can provide a lot of details on computer hardware, processor, chipset and memory installed in a PC without need of opening the machine.

How can a binary tree be represented in a computer memory?

A binary tree is a tree that has at most two child node. It contain a data field, a pointer to the left and a pointer to the right child.

What are the two subsystems of long-term memory?

Two subsystems to long-term memory include semantic and episodic memory.

What is the function of the Dimm Slots?

DIMM stands for Dual Inline Memory Module. DIMM slots are the slots on a motherboard that hold the memory modules.

What is non-ECC DDR SDRAM memory?

There are two types of memories when it comes to supporting ECC (error correction code/circuitry). These are ECC memory (memories which support ECC) and non-ECC (which do not support ECC). ECC helps detect and correct certain types of errors in memory transactions if they occur. ECC memories are a bit slow in performance as there is some time lost in detecting and correcting errors if they occur. Non-ECC memories are more common, faster and cheaper. ECC memories are recommended for servers and other mission critical applications. Most of system designs and circuits are robust and there are rarely any errors on a PC memory bus, so non-ECC memories are good enough for general computing applications. Most computer motherboards support both type of memories but still if one should check motherboard and BIOS specifications before investing in ECC memory type.

If your printer is giving you trouble what is the best way to obtain an update?

Check the manufacturers website for updated drivers. They are usually located under a 'Support' or 'Downloads' section.

How many terabytes are there in a brontobyte?

Direct quote from Wikipedia: There are many unofficial or fabricated metric prefixes circulating the internet, especially for values smaller than 10-24 or larger than 1024. One well-known unofficial prefix is bronto-, used in the fake term brontobyte. References on the World Wide Web suggest meanings of the bronto prefix to be variously any of 1015, 1021, 1024, or 1027. SI has already produced standard prefixes for 1015 (peta), 1021 (zetta) and 1024 (yotta).

A terabyte is 10^12 bytes.

Why must data be copied from the hard drive to RAM in order for it to be used in processing operations?

RAM is accessible directly and at the individual data item level while the hard drive is accessible only indirectly after a variable length delay (depending on where the data is stored on the disk and where the previously accessed data is stored) and in blocks (e.g. sectors, clusters) that typically contain multiple different and sometimes unrelated data items.

Some old computers used hard disks (with hundreds of separate stationary heads) as their main memory instead of RAM, registers, etc. Such machines processed data serially instead of in parallel and were ponderously slow compared to modern computers. They were even slow compared to other computers of their day but usually cost less than a tenth of those computers and were both much smaller and lighter weight.

How much memory does a printer spool file use?

1st answer - 78 gig

2nd answer - Well, aren't you a bright one... -.-

3rd answer - Let's now try a rather more helpful answer....

The size of the spool file will vary dramatically depending on several factors:

1. The type of printer, laser printer files are usually larger than ink-jet files.

2. The contents of the document to print, plain text files are usually quite small, say 100KB or so. Printing a full page colour photograph may easily be 200MB or more.

3. The number of pages to be printed, obviously the more pages the more data.

4. The printer protocol in use, some protocols create fairly small files, others such as PCL (Printer Control Language) produce larger files.

So your answer, anything from about 100KB to 100's of MB. The suggested 78GB is a bit high - it is highly unlikely that you would be able to print such a large file on any normal printer.

What is the features and functions of memory test?

The tests are used to insure you have no "Bad Blocks" of memory. Bad memory can cause very bizarre and sporadic behavior as well as system crashes or the infamous blue screen of death. If you are having computer issues that are just plain "buggy" or are experiencing system crashes then you should use the tests to see if something is wrong with your RAM.

Hope this helps!
