How does system board receives important information from dimms regarding the ram configuration?
the system board receives important information from dimms regarding the ram configuration during?
Cache Memory is needed because Hardware implements cache as a block of memory for temporary storage likely to be used again.
Differences between cache virtual memory?
_Virtual Memory_ is an amount of physical hard disk storage used to act as an overflow when more RAM is requested that what is available. An OS algorithm determines what will be moved out to Virtual Memory from physical RAM. On the other hand, _cache_ is an area of RAM that contains areas of the hard disk drive that have been requested by a component of the system plus neighboring data that _might_ be requested at a later time. For example, if the data stored on sectors 1234-1250 is requested, the system will bring it back, along with sectors 1251-1300, in an attempt to prefetch data that might be requested next. Since the disks' heads are already positionned at the location of the requested data, it is a small amount to pay to get contiguous sectors back in the same "pass" vs. coming back to get it next time. If ever some of the sectors 1251-1300 are indeed requested, the access to disk will not be necessary as the cache already contains the data. This is called a "cache hit". (Conversely, if the requested data is not in cache, we call it a ... "cache miss"). Hard Disk data is kept in the cache for as long as possible. This explains why, in most cases, when an application is started twice in a row, the 2nd start is much faster since the executable, and possibly most of its associated components, are in cache. So, this leaves us with _virtual memory_, a mechanism to allow for a lack of RAM, and _cache_, a mechanism to allow for unused RAM to be put to use...Is this a dichotomy? we'd like to hear your comments on this.
What do you call the memory stick that you insert into the computer in order to store document?
Technical name: USB flash drive
Common name: Memory stick

Is giga byte bigger than giga herz?
They are different kinds of things and cannot be compared. A Gigabyte is a measure of memory and the gigahertz is a measure of speed. It is like saying which is bigger, a mile or a pint?

For RIMM modules install the RIMMs beginning with bank?
For RIMM modules, install the RIMMs beginning with bank 0 then 1 and so on.
Will a 1333 mhz CPU run with 1066 mhz ddr 2 ram?
Yes it will 1333mhz is the bus speed of the CPU, however the RAM speed is DDR 2 1066 which means 1066 x 2 bandwidth making it 2132 which is higher bandwidth than the CPU anyway.
How many 13.6mp pictures can a 8gb memory card hold?
The capacity of a card indicates the maximum amount of data that can be stored (less some space for the card's own use).
Megapixel (MP) count refers to the maximum resolution of the camera's sensor -- its ability to record detail. The number of images that can be recorded on a card of a given size is only indirectly related to the capacity of the card, which is measured in Kilobytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB), not MP. That will vary according to the image itself, and to the camera's settings.
For example: My Pentax K10D, with a 10.1 MP sensor and using a 4 GB card, will record approximately 821 images at the highest resolution (10 MP) and a "Fine" resolution setting. The same camera, with the same sensor and same card, will record 10,000-plus images at the lowest resolution (2 MP) and the "Low" resolution setting. Practically all cameras have this ability to change the resolution settings, and thus the sizes of the image files that are stored on the card.
So, you can see that it is only possible to answer your question in very general terms: The higher the capacity of the card, the more images you can store at whatever camera settings. And, as you can see above, even at the highest settings with a high MP count, you can take a lot of pictures!
One thing to think about: storage cards can and do fail. It is better to have two 1 GB cards than one 2 GB card, unless you plan to shoot a whole lot of video. That way if one fails, you can keep shooting and worry about retrieving the images off the other card later.
What are the functions of flip flop in static random access memory?
The flip-flop stores a bit and keeps that value until the opposite value is stored in it.
How much memory will a hp pavilion zx5000 hold?
I have an ZV5000, and they seem to have the same RAM specifications. The maximum is 2GB of RAM for both laptops.

Binary Numbers that can be added and subtracted.
Will the dell optiplex 780 mt support 16GB of ddr3 memory in?
I have installed a 4x4GB Mushkin Essentials RAM kit into a Desktop and Mini-tower form factor.
Both detect the correct amount in the BIOS, I am running one as a lab for running Hyper-V to use for SCCM 2012 / SQL on the same box.
What are the meanings of CPU memory input devises output devices and secondary storage devices?
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. In short it's the processor which is the 'brain' of the computer. Memory is the working area of the computer. Input devices are devices which are used to send/enter data to the computer and output devices are used to show us the results of our work. The secondary storage device is to save our work on to it such as a floppy disk or a memory stick.
What is different between DIMM and SIMM?
SIMMs (single in-line memory modules) as a radom access memory.
A dual in-line memory module(DIMM), comprises a series of random access memory integrated circuits.
These are used in the Computers as a radom access memory. These began to replace SIMMs as the predominant type of memory module as Intel's Pentium processors began to control the market.
The main difference between SIMMs and DIMMs is that SIMMs have a 32-bit data path, while DIMMs have a 64-bit data path.
Single in-line memory modules, SIMMs, have a pin count of 72 which have contacts on one side of the memory module only. DIMMs, dual in-line memory modules, have since replaced SIMMs and offer a double sided module. DIMM is the current standard used throughout the computer industry for DDR and SDRAM.

Can you put ddr2 800 in ddr2 667 slot?
Generally speaking, yes. The memory will simply be accessed at the slower speed. However, do not mix memory modules of different speeds. Also do not mix non-ECC and ECC memory modules.
What is the difference between thinkline computer and desktop PC?
Thinkline computers have absoulutely no hardware e.g hardrive... It is just a moniter connected to your server, running via ethernet cables. Your profile is saved to the server instead of desktop and (windows) runs through the werver also.
A Thin Client is a small device with minimal hardware and software meant to only connect to a terminal server via a network connection. When connected to a Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor, the thin client displays the interface, but the actual processing and running of software is done on a server in another location.
