If you have a Mac OS X 10.7.5 with 4 slots of RAM and 2 of them are occupied by 2 GB RAM each can you use more for the other 2 slots?

You can use whatever your computer's motherboard is capable of using. OS-X is an operating system - and thus is not 'memory dependent'. Just as with Windows - OX-S will utilize whatever memory is available.

What does cache memory mean and what is the simplest way to learn how to use a computer?

AnswerCache memory is just the same as RAM only it is much, much faster. This is why there usually isn't much cache because since it is faster, it is far more pricey than standard RAM. Your cache is like golden ram and used to store things that are going to be accessed more than once, or need to be accessed quickly. Just like RAM, once the program is done or once you turn your computer off, it is a clean slate and ready to be used again. Separate AnswerCache memory is VERY fast compared to external RAM because it resides on the CPU die directly and is designed into the structure of the processor. It uses the internal CPU timing cycles and bus structure to be accessed. It is small in byte size because it shares the physical real-estate of the CPU and the die size of the computer is limited. The quantity of transistors that can fit on the die is determined by the size of the transistors themselves. The size is determined by the wavelength of light used to etch the die through the mask. A transistor profile of 65nm is larger than one etched at 40nm. 65nm profile transistors use a little more power to switch on than the 40nm transistors. This translates to a little bit more time to transition to saturation, so throughput is less in the larger profile transistor processors. AnswerThe best way to learn how to use a computer (in my opinion) is to find someone that will take a few minutes to show you the basics and maybe give you some tips on what you should and shouldn't do, then just dive in and explore.

To Learn computer easily first of all you have to identify what exactly you want to do on computer as computer has a lots of capability. it completely depend on its user how much he/she can use it. if you are aware of your need with computer than it will take only a manual guide of that task to make you learn to use it in the same way as your need increase use the another manual as per your need.

How much memory does 1gb dual channel ddr2 sdram have?

it will still be 1gb. Dual channel can be defined as 2 RAM sticks that can be somehow virtually made in to "1" ram module and will be working as 1 whole module.

What is the purpose of storing a program in memory?

Anything stored in memory can be accessed much faster than items stored on the harddrive. This is basically because of the physical composition of memory chips which allows for much faster data-transfer. The tradeoff is the amount of space that memory provides, and the number of programs that end up sharing the memory. So, when a program is stored in memory, its execution is much faster. However, if a program exists ONLY in the memory, and does not store any data on the primary disk, then when you exit a program, all your data will also be destroyed due to active memory management that takes place. Data will not persist when program exists. Hence, you will need to write the data to a file on the hardisk which can be accessed later and loaded into the memory next time when the program runs.

Does a computer really resemble the human brain for its memory If so it never fades its memory but the brain does. Why it is so?

this is a very difficult question to answer. let me explain a few things first

my computer has 60 gigabytes,

their are around 1,028 gigabytes in a terabyte

120 gigabytes = 2 computers

240 gigabytes = 4 computers

480 gigabytes = 8 computers

960 gigabytes = 16 computers

1,030 gigabytes = 17 computers

17 computers = 1 terabyte

34 computers = 2 terabytes

68 computers = 4 terabytes

136 computers = 8 terabytes

272 computers = 16 terabytes

544 computers = 32 terabytes

1,088 computers = 64 terabytes

1,632 computers = 96 terabytes

1,666 computers = 100 terabytes

100 terabytes = 102,400 gigabytes

a typical song you download is 5 megabytes

if 100 terabytes = 104,857,600 megabytes

then the brain can hold 20,971,520 songs

and each song is approx 4 minutes long

then the brain can hold 83,886,080 minutes of audio

if a 120 minute movie is 4 gigabytes

257 movies = 1 terabyte

514 movies = 2 terabytes

1,028 movies = 4 terabytes

2,056 movies = 8 terabytes

4,112 movies = 16 terabytes

8,224 movies = 32 terabytes

16,448 movies = 64 terabytes

24,672 movies = 96 terabytes

25,700 movies = 100 terabytes

3,084,000 minutes of video (with audio) is how much the brain can hold

that formula is seriously flawed for several reasons

such as

1: the brain would only be able to remember 7 years

2: it would not allow the subconscious to remember events because they would no longer be stored, and would be replaced with other events

3: the brain would over load and crash resulting in death (at 7 years old)

however it is possible that like compressing a file on a computer the mind compresses memories and looks at them as different files that's why when you try to think of an old event it takes you a while(the mind decompresses them) and when you try to think of a spacific thing the brain can recall it because it is looking for a memory file, not a subconscious file. and when you are hypnotized, the mind looks at the memory and subconscious files as one and the same making it easier to recall specific events. this also makes sense when someone is in a state of deep hypnosis, the brain can become a "DOS command box." and when someone tells the human in the deep state of hypnosis a command, like, standing up, or stop smoking, the command is activated. sertant commands such as standing up are shorter then others, and once completed they are forgotten. if you have not realized the answer it is this

the human brain and a computer are the same depending on what you believe

Explain the following description of a memory module DDR3 PC10600 1333MHZ?

DDR3 memory uses less power. This reduction comes from the difference in supply voltages. The 1.5 V supply voltage works well with the 90-nanometer fabrication technology used in the original DDR3 chips. Some manufacturers further propose using dual-gate transistors to reduce leakage of current. and the benefit is its prefetch buffer, which is 8-burst-deep. In contrast, the prefetch buffer of DDR2 is 4-burst-deep, and the prefetch buffer of DDR is 2-burst-deep. An advantage is an enabling technology in DDR3's transfer speed.

What is the max memory that a HP G70-463CL Notebook PC can hold?

I just purchased an HP G70-463CL from Costco. I did some homework before I bought it and came to the conclusion from what I had read that max. memory is 4 gig, which is what it comes with. When I opened HP's system information utility, it confirmed the 4 gig installed but listed the max at 8 gig. HP's web site has a G70-463US which has identical specs, except that it comes with 3 gig memory, and is listed with a max memory of 4 gig. Not sure why HP's system information shows 8 gig but everything else that I have read still points to 4.

What are four types of memory devices or modules used in a notebook?

72-pin SO-DIMMs, 144-pin SO-DIMMs, 160-pin SO-RIMMs and credit card memory

Why is it that the instructions being executed must be in physical memory of the computer?

When a computer gets ready to execute the next instruction, it pulls it out of memory of some sort or another. first it tries it's local high speed cache RAM, usually a part of the CPU chip. If it's not there, then it looks in the slower speed RAM. If it finds it there, the memory controller pulls a block of memory from RAM to cache then executes it there. If it doesn't see it in RAM, it looks for it in virtual memory, which is actually a part of the hard disk drive. When it finds it there, it pulls a block into RAM, then into Cache memory, where it is executed. Actually, the move from virtual memory to RAM is done way ahead of time, as the controllers see that the computer might need that block of memory in the near future. So you can see, all the instructions are executed in the small high speed cache RAM. This is done for speed. If all the instructions were executed in RAM, as computers once did, they would be 10 times slower. A lot of computer design is optimizing the memory controllers so that almost all of the instructions are executed out of high speed cache, and the processor rarely has to wait for the cache to fill up. If the computer executed out of hard disk space, it would be thousands of time slower.

How to add more memory to a 2 yr.old computer?

Depends on whether you mean storage space or RAM. For storage space: Buy either an internal or external hard drive.
Install onto your computer
Save files to it. For more RAM Find out the type of RAM currently in your PC (Often shown on the ram sticks themselves)
Buy a set of RAM sticks of a larger memory size, making sure its the same type as in step one.
Either take out old RAM and clip in new, or if spare sockets available leave old RAM in and install new as well.
