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.

Why 8086 requires address bus of 20 bits while using 16 bit address for segement register?

This is due to the fact that 16bits would only address 64KB of memory, which even then was very little.

The answer for this was to come up with an extra 4 bits to address the total 1MB, this is done trough segmentation of the memory. Google it.

What is Virtual memory size if physical memory size is 1024MB?

Windows will automatically set your virtual memory size. It all depends on how much free space there is on your hard drive. Your physical memory is your RAM. 1GB of RAM is the same as 1024MB.

How much does 64MB hold?

this is entirely dependant on the size of file your camera generates. I shoot with a 10.2 MP camera in

RAW/DNG format and 64 meg might hold two images.

It also depends on what type picture you're shooting (uncompressed or compressed) I just got a new 14.1 mp camera, and I can take about 5-7 pictures if they're compressed on the camera's 40mb internal memory...

Is a Ram a volatile?

RAM is a volatile Memory. But ROM is not volatile.

RAM clocked with 400 MHz whats it mean?

A clock in computer is a speed of communication from one part (device) to another. It is like a tunnel having gate that opens and closes at a certain speed to which data (passes) travels. 1 Hz (Hertz) is equvalent to 1 cycle per second that means a gate can accept data every 1 second. A 400MHz (Mega Hertz) is 400 time 1 million Hz. Idealy that means a data can travel at this speed. The tunnel is called BUS. Imagine how water is distrubuted in a city. To a RAM that means it can accept and send data at the rate of 400MHz. (400 times 1 million transfer of data in a second.) Both device in a computer must have the same clock or it will not be stable.

Simple table that lists RAM from 1 byte to 1 megabyte?

RAM looks just like a spreadsheet with 8 columns (8 bits) across and millions of rows, depending on how much RAM you have. For instance if you have 1GB, which is 1 billion bits, then it would be 8 columns across and whatever 8X (unknown number) is the number of rows.

What is MicroDIMM?

the micro dimm is extremely small ram from factor.it was 50 percent smaller than a sodimm.only 45.5millimeters.this ram have 144 pins or 172 pins .this ram was used

laptop computer.

What is the basic addressable unit of memory?

That depends on the computer architecture. Most modern architectures address memory down to the 8-bit byte, however some architectures (often supercomputers) only address to the memory word which may be 64 bits or more long.

Early computer architectures had various sizes of addressable memory unit: individual bit, decimal digit, 10-digit signed decimal word, 12-digit/character decimal word, 5-bit character, 6-bit character, 12-bit word, 9-bit quarterword, 18-bit halfword, 36-bit word, 20-bit halfword, 40-bit word, 60-bit word, etc.

How is RAM organized?

A common method to random access memory organization is by technology type and clocking. These include RDRAM (RAMBUS), DDR, DDR2, DDR3, and GDDR5 memory types, for example.

What are the uses of pins?

They are a variety of uses for pins. Safety pins are used to hold things in place such as clothing. Push-pins are used in a cork board for flyers and other forms of paper.

Why the primary memory is called as destructive as well as non-destructive?

As we know that RAM and ROM both are a type of primary memory.Both of them have own properties :- ROM is permanent in nature i.e It holds data permenently, whereas RAM is a temprory in nature i.e whenever the current is supplies to the RAM, data will be stored on it

Can you use PC 667 and PC 800 both at the same time on one computer?

Yes you can. You can use any combination of DDR2 memory (533, 667, 800 MHz) mixed, BUT total memory will run on the frequency of the slowest of the bunch. So, if you have 512MB@533MHz and you want to add 2GB@800MHz, you'll end up with 2,5GB@533MHz.

How do you check if RAM is corrupted?

The most thorough way of testing your RAM would be using a boot-up memory test (unless your computer has a built-in RAM test in its BIOS, which can be accessed by pushing F1 or F2 when the computer first turns on). Here's a link to an iso image you can burn to a CD. After burning it, you would boot the computer from the CD. If it doesn't boot from the CD, you might need to change your boot order from the bios. Set the CD drive as the primary boot location and if it still isn't booting from the CD, you may not have burned it correctly.

What is contained in RAM memory?

Basically, anything. RAM stands for Random Access Memory, and it can contain programs, data, an operating system, pictures, videos, you name it. It's the main working area or scratchpad of your computer. It stays there until you turn the power off. This varies from ROM (Read-Only Memory) in that ROM may be read from, but not written to, and the contents remains unchanged. Examples of ROMs are a BIOS chip (allowing booting of a computer), a or video card ROM (containing a small program to make the card work). Once you boot your computer, the BIOS tells the computer where to find the operating system on disk, then it is loaded into the RAM, and execution continues in RAM, and everything starts up. See also: PROMs (Programmable Read-Only Memory), EPROMS (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory; uses a UV light to erase and re-program), and EEPROMs (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory; also called non-volatile memory).

How can you find RAM manifacturing date?

There is two ways, one being back reference the serial/model number with the company, and two refer to the stickers on the module(s).

What makes a computer recognize ram?

A Windows computer will recognize more ram if you throw it out your window and buy a mac instead (really it's a good choice) many computers will actually recognize the new ram instantly and if it hasn't you can try reinstalling it. If that doesn't work you can hunt through settings to look for something to do with RAM and it might have a setting you can change.

How do you free memory enough just to play Combat Arms?

turn off any background applications running that are not vital system components.

What is a Gigabyte and Terabyte?

They are all different types of units of memory or data, a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, a gigabyte is 1024 megabytes and a terabyte is 1024 gigabytes. This means there are 1073741824 kilobytes in a terabyte ;-)

What is ram seek time?

Ram seek time is the amount of time the ram takes to find the given piece of memory after receiving the command from the cpu. Average ram seek times are around 4-3 nano seconds.
