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.

Which memory is temporary in nature?
Primary memory are volatile in nature. Eg. RAM. This memory loses data when computer is switched off.
Which two features are characteristics of flash memory?
Flash provides nonvolatile storage.
The contents of flash may be overwritten.
How much memory does hibernation use on a computer?
It can remain in hibernation as long as you want it to. There is no time limit.
Because a 2-digit hex number can represent up to 256 values (including zero) - whereas the binary equivalent would require 8 binary digits (bits).. This saves space on paper.
Is a ddr2 memory OK after being installed in ddr slot?
A DDR2 memory stick cannot be installed correctly in a DDR slot.
My PC which supports ddr2 ram can I put ddr2 1gb 533 and 1gb667 rams at the same time?
Ya sure you shall go for it It will run at the slower clockspeed though, but not a big issue.
How many word documents can you save on a 160GB external hard drive?
160 GB of space for saving just Word documents is a massive storehouse. On average, a six page document saved in Word's 2003 format will occupy 1.1 MB of space - less than one quarter of a song in MP3 format. So if you were to fill up your external hard drive, there would be 148,945 Word documents. I believe that if the document is saved in Word's newer format - XML - than you could probably fit even more in that same amount of space.
Can a 256 MB memory support windows vista?
If you are asking if you can run Windows Vista on 256 MB of RAM, then yes. However, the Windows installer will not allow you to install on 256 MB of RAM without a patch.
If you are asking if you can use Vista on a computer using 256 MB memory modules, then yes.
What are the requirements to burn a CD on a lap top?
To burn CDs on a laptop you will need to have a CD or DVD burner or now possibly you might have a Blu Ray burner, all of which can burn CDs, The other requirement is a burning program, this is a software item as apposed to hardware in the case of your CD DVD burner ect, Often this will be on your laptop in the operating system "XP Vista" ect, your other option is to buy a burning program for example I use "Nero Burning Rom" but there are many cheaper options on the net if you search for "CD Burning freeware" freeware being free programs provided by other computer users, If your laptop doesn't have a built in burner you can now buy external burners which can be attached by USB these will work in the same way as an internal one.
It is a type of memory. RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) is a type of SDRAM (synchronous dynamic RAM) designed by the Rambus Corporation. It is a type of DDR (Dual Data Rate) memory. It was supported by Intel for use with Intel processors from year 2000 to 2003 after which Intel started supported the standard DDR memory modules instead of RDRAM modules. Since then its usage and market has significantly reduced with standard DDR and then DDR2 picking up market share.
Rambus has been in fight with various memory vendors for patents and royalty payments for many years .

What can happen in a motherboard when you have not inserted the ram completely?
If the Ram is not inserted properly the display does not occurs in Ur Computer and the Beep sound comes from Ur PC. Vipin Shet
This refers to a vehicle that needs an alignment. Wide tires can cause memory steer. It can be severe enough to cause a vehicle to track l and r and can be annoying
To arrange data in a noncontiguous way to increase performance. When used to describe disk drives,
it refers to the way sectors on a disk are organized. In one-to-one interleaving, the sectors are placed sequentially around each track. In two-to-one interleaving, sectors are staggered so that consecutively numbered sectors are separated by an intervening sector.
How much is a DDR with SD ram memory?
Online at Amazon there is a wide range of DDR's to choose from. The prices range from $6.00 to more than $50.00. The price depends on the MB or GB size. A DDR that is 512MB and under can be found for around the $6.00 range. The 1GB is more costly.
Why is the RAM called the RAM?
RAM
R = Random
A = Access
M = Memory
Let me explain it to you. So you type an "A" on the keyboard, it is stored in the RAM until the CPU (processor) is ready to display it on the screen in your text document. The CPU tells the RAM to send the data (the "A" in this case) and it is sent to the video card (into its RAM) and then after the video card does its thing it sends the "A" to the screen so you can see it.
RAM stores data directly from storage devices to help the CPU keep up its speed. RAM is like a hard drive but once its done its thing it loses it instantly so it can make way for other tasks this is why its Random Access Memory. Hard Drives store information.
What is open standard platform?
In software and web-based architectures, an Open platformdescribes a software system which is based on open standards, An open standard is freely available to everyone and is not subject to royalties or any fees.
An open standard platform is a website/game/environment made so everyone has access to it´s root codes and they are encouraged to do some coding of their own to enbetter the platform. An open platform invites coding hobbyists and professionals to engage into coding in the benefit of making the platform better together.
(they toy with a copy at their home and when they are happy with it, they send it to the original makers, which then will either implement it or refuse it).
People can also use the open source to base their own original work on without needing to credit the original makers.
An open source is free access to the coding.
What are the arguments for and against representing boolean values as single bits of memory?
For: Using a single bit instead of an entire byte will conserve memory
Against: Processors to have addresses for single bits. So up to 8 Booleans values can be combined into a single byte, which means bit-wise arithmetic to separate the separate values. Although this conserves memory, it takes more time (CPU time) to deal with.
How many characters on an average computer screen?
That depends on a lot of things including font type, font size, monitor size, and resolution.
How are storage and memory calculated?
Memory (RAM) is calculated using 1024 killobyes for 1 megabyte however hard drives are usually marketed using 1000 kilobyes for 1 megabyte, one of reasons why you never appear to get the full amount of storage available.
It is neither or could be either.
Specifically CMOS is a digital logic circuit implementation technology. It stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, which means:
- Complementary - uses both N channel and P channel Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs), not just one or the other type;
- Metal - uses metal gate FETs, not polysilicon gate FETs (see above);
- Oxide - uses silicon dioxide insulated gate FETs, not PN junction gate FETs aka JFETs (see above);
- Semiconductor - just what it means and to make a good sounding pronounceable acronym.
CMOS technology can be used to implement ANY kind of digital logic circuit: logic gates, flipflops, RAM, ROM, etc.
One of the advantages of CMOS technology over other digital logic circuit implementation technologies (e.g. RTL, DTL, TTL, HTL, ECL, NMOS, PMOS, IIL) is that power consumption is directly proportional to switching rate, with it approaching zero when the devices a just sitting idle (a leakage current in the microampere range does continue to be drawn). This makes CMOS an ideal technology for implementing a RAM device for storing configuration parameters while the machine is turned off, this so called CMOS RAM is able to be kept powered all the time so it can retain the parameter data by just a tiny "coin cell" battery. This offers both the advantages of RAM (modifiability) and ROM (nonvolatility).
Most modern microprocessor, support, RAM, and ROM IC chips are now implemented with CMOS technology.
logical cache is what computer companies call L1, L2, and L3 cache.
It is smart memory on the chip or processor that remembers what the processor has ask for the last 10 to 100 processes.
What are the advantages of using Kingston ram?
There are many advantages of using Kingstom ram. Examples of advantages to using Kingdom ram include having a faster computer and having more space on one's computer for their files.
