Does 626 KB take up a lot of space on your computer?
626 KB is a rather small filesize. It is the equivalent of about 1 picture. 1,024 KB is one megabyte (1MB). A song is typically 3 to 8 MB, or 3,000 to 8,000 KB. Most desktop harddrives today are between 120,000 MB to as much as 1,500,000 MB. Laptops are typically 40,000 to 250,000 MB. 626 KB is such a tiny amount that it's often considered 'negligible'. Or so small it makes no difference. What is listed below is technically correct for BYTES. However a Byte is 8 bits, a a bit (abbreviated as a lower-case 'b' or just 'bit') is the smallest unit of measurement in a computer. Most modern computers however use a filesystem that limits the smallest size of a unit to 512 bytes. So a 1 byte or 1 bit file will both be 512 bytes. This is called a 'cluster'. A cluster may be as large at 64 KB as well. However, for a 626 KB filesize, this is largely irrelevent as it would easily use the clusters efficiently. However having a very large number of files smaller than 512 bytes may waste a lot of space. IE, you could have 100,000 files that are all 1 byte in real size, but they take up a 512 byte size each. Making what would be 100 KB actually take up 51,200,000 KB. Older computers, SD cards, thumb drives, and other USB and flash drives use FAT and FAT32 filesystems, and suffer less of this problem (they can have clusters as small as 32 bytes) Either way though, a single 626 KB file is very, very tiny. It's the eauivalent of just under 1/2 of a floppy drive, or 1/1000th of a CD. Also, TB (Terabyte) is not the largest unit. While very rare to see in a consumer (home user's) computer, there also exist PB (Petabytes), and even EB (Exabytes). Some supercomputer clusters, such as Google, have systems with an EB of storage or more. But there are, at most, a dozen such systems on earth as of this moment (7/31/2010) OLD: no, B is the smallest computer unit, KB is the 2nd smallest, MB is the 3rd smallest, GB is the 4th smallest, TB is the highest computer unit.
The question is in reference to 626Kb however. The lower case 'b' is commonly used to refer to a bit, with is one eight of a byte. The discussion above refers to bytes, commonly abbreviated with a capital B.
Thus, 626Kb are 626/8 KB = 78.25 KB. Since each kilobyte ('K') is 1024 bytes, 626 Kb therefore are 80128 bytes.
By modern standards, this is a rather small file size, but size is of course relative to the space available. Some specialized computers have very little storage, and would struggle to accommodate this amount. Other computers, including modern PCs and similar devices, can easily cope with data of this size.
What is the CAS Latency value of DIMM 5-5-5-15?
An ad for memory might sometimes give the CAS Latency value within a series of timing numbers, such as 5-5-5-15. The first value is the CAS latency, which would mean that in this case, this module is CL5. The second value is RAS latency.
What are disadvantages of a scaling tower with a battering ram attached?
It could malfunction when using it, and it does take a lot of time and effort to make and use.
The purpose of a memory address is?
The memory address is used for data tracking. It is unique to the user and it's able to see what data has been accessed by that particular user.
What is the inboard memory and outboard storage and off-line storage?
1.Inbuilt memory is something thats inbuilt to the processor,meaning the processor can access it directly.
2.Then therez external memory that requires an input/output module to access it by the processor.In it:
(a)Outboard storage:Now this type doesnt reqiure an external device to touch it directly(ex-magnetic disk)
(b)Offline storage:This type requires an external device to touch it directly to access(ex-magnetic tape)
degrees or radians. beyond that I will not help. look them up and you will almost certainly learn something.
Where is data stored permanently?
In the computing world, permanent data is stored in ROM (Read Only Memory).

List and describe the three types of dispersion?
clumped clustered together even consistent distance between the individuals random scattered
Memory access time and cycle time?
Memory access time is corresponding to the time interval between the read/write request and the availability of the data.
cycle time representing the minimum time interval between two successive accesses
What are some examples of secondary memory?
Examples of secondary memory are magnetic type,floppy disk,CD roms etc
What is secondry memory and example of secondry memory?
Secondary Memory-: is long term storage device which uses the help of input and output channels to access information.The content in it must first be copied into the primary storage (RAM) for CPU to process . It does not lose the data when device is powered off .It is nonvolatile.
Eg: Hard Disk(HD),Floppy ,CD.Its Ram-random access memory to the device 3.5 &5.7 .
If the architecture allows each individual byte to be adressed then there are 4,000,000 possible addresses ranging from 0 to 3,999,999. So the largest address is 3,999,999 which is 3D08FF in hexadecimal representation
What is the difference between volatile memory and non volatile memory?
volatile memory: The data is lost on reboot. This is the ram memory. Random-access-memory.
non-volatile memory: The data is saved to a hard drive or flash drive, or it could be a hard coded chip. This is ROM memory. Read-only-memory.
Volatile memory: you will lost all of your data when your electricity go out. Ram is volatile memory. When you shutdown your computer. Info that haven't saved is destroyed.
Nonvolatile memory: All data that stored in this type of memory wil retain when you shutdown your computer. Rom is of type nonvolatile memory.
Non-volatile holds its data even when the power is turned off.
Volatile memory: you will lost all of your data when your electricity go out. Ram is volatile memory. When you shutdown your computer. Info that haven't saved is destroyed.
Nonvolatile memory: All data that stored in this type of memory wil retain when you shutdown your computer. Rom is of type nonvolatile memory.

Where is data stored when it is in virtual memory?
Virtual memory, when not active, is written to a swapping area. The swapping area is often on a designated area of the system HDD (hard drive), or a separate HDD. If faster storage is available, it may also be on a designated semiconductor storage facility such as an SSD, SD or USB flash drive.
Why does memory access take more machine cycles than register access?
Because of different in speeds of cpu the system bus and the memory circut
