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.

Yes, but they are slightly larger (for now) than the "thumb drive" versions.
As of 2011, the price for large-scale flash drives has continued to come down. Some 256Gb drives fell to less than $700 USD, and modifications can be made to existing drives to allow 1 terabyte of data storage. The price for an actual 1 Tb drive (solid-state drive) was still in the $3000 USD range in early 2011.
1 TB = 1 million meg, or 1 thousand gig 1 mega = 1,000,000 (million) 1 giga = 1,000,000,000 (billion) = 1,000 megas 1 tera = 1,000,000,000,000 (trillion) = 1,000 gigas = 1,000,000,000 megas
How does adding RAM affect video card?
Video cards have their own memory. Adding RAM to the machine will help graphics performance, but not as much as a card with more on-board memory.

What are the three basic categories of items that can be stored by memory?
Operating system and system software; application software; data being processed
What storage device can hold the most information?
in general, a HDD or a tape casette. HDD tend to be used for normal computers and for servers, tape casettes tend to be used for the backup of servers (they're the things that you see spinning on computers in old fashioned movies

What is the other name of internal memory?
It's used to access data in a random order in different places.
The more, and faster RAM the quicker it will find what the user ask for and the more amout of data it can handle at a time. It's used because a Hard Disk can only find data in a specific order since it have mechanical parts(exception is SSD).
When you boot up a program all it's data will transfer to the RAM so it can be accessed quickly. When you shut off the computer the RAM will empty itself.
Also for further research on how a computer use memory and data storage on running applications: "cache".
What is the maximum RAM of the Dell Latitude D600?
The maximum you could install on this notebook is 2Gb. It runs DDR memory. So the best thing would be to purchase 2 x 1Gb Sticks.
The transmission speed generally is measured by transferring a specific block of data of known size across the transmission medium and timing the duration between initiating transfer and successful receipt of the final datum. For instance, to test the speed of a modem connection, you could create a known file of, say, exactly 1,000,000 bytes, then initiate a transfer of that file across the modem link. If the transfer takes 7 minutes 25 seconds, you have a data rate of 1,000,000 bytes per 7:25, or 2,247 bytes per second.
Data transmission speeds are usually given in bits per second, or bytes per second. For fast connections, this is sometimes expressed as kilobits, megabits, or gigabits per second, or as kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes per second. One must be very certain to indicate whether a data rate is counting bits or bytes, and one must be aware that marketers will try to conceal that difference; a marketing data rate may be expressed in bits per second but made to look like bytes, or it may be expressed as the theoretical maximum data rate, rather than the actual data rate. An example of the latter is the 802.11g wireless networking standard, which is always shown as 54 megabits per second. That is the raw data rate; once signaling overhead, error correction, link control, and other non-data information is excluded, the actual rate for data transfer in a perfect connection is closer to 33 megabits per second.
How do you convert kilo bytes into giga bytes?
To get a pretty much correct answer, multiply the KB by one million. (There are about one million KB in one GB).
What is smallest addressable unit of storage on a disk?
It is called a block (or sector). The size of the block varies depending upon the size of the disk, advanced preferences (the size of files normally being used on that disk), and the filesystem being used. They normally run from 512Bytes to 64KiB. As disk capacity continues to grow, look for even larger block sizes to come :-)
The micro chip is an amazing invention used to track dogs. These lost dogs can be scanned and returned to their owners.
How many tega bytes in a giga byte?
It depends on if you're using 1000 (103)or 1024 (210) as a multiplier, but either 1/1000 or 1/1024. A terabyte is larger than a gigabyte.
What type of memory loses its contents when power is turned off on your computer?
RAM, or random access memory.
What is the maximum total memory and maximum memory per slot supported by Intel D945GCR motherboard?
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d945gcpe/sb/CS-027116.htm
- 2 GB maximum total system memory
What difference between cache and ram?
"RAM" is Random Access Memeory. It's the high speed memory that's on the motherboard and allows the computer to load instructions and data quickly into the processor during normal operation.
"Swap" space is an area on the computer disk that has been reserved as space for overflow. When there are too many applications CURRENTLY RUNNING or applications that are CURRENTLY RUNNING that are too large, large blocks of data are swapped into the swap space, freeing up some of the high speed memory.
Typically, if the operating system is reasonably intelligent, data is only swapped to disk that is not currently being used.
Excessive disk swapping will slow your computer dramatically. It's always a good idea to remove unnecessary applications from your startup.
Your computer can have many applications on disk, as well as a lot of data. Only the CURRENTLY RUNNING applications can be impacted by swap space.
What is the difference between virtual memory and physical memory?
I think so this will help you
Virtual memory does not physically exist while physical memory does.
Where there is not enough physical memory available for the required application, the application and its data are staged through the physical memory with the excess mapped onto a section of hard disk drive. Using this technique the memory appears to be bigger that it actually is (although it is slowed down by the staging process). The bit on the disk is called the virtual memory.
What is the approximate clock speed of DDR3200?
usuali is 200mhz but i gues its 400mhz becase its saing double or somthing....
Is a temporary storage area that holds up to 24 items copied from any office program?
Office Clupboard
What is the max ram for a 20 wire CPU address bus?
220 or 1,048,576 locations, otherwise known as 1 meg. If its an 8 bit bus, we are talking about 1 megabyte. That happens to be the size of the address bus of the original 8086/8088 microprocessor.
What are the numbers of pins that can be found on DIMM modules used?
DIMMs have 168, 184, or 240 pins on the edge connector of the board and can hold from 8MB to 2GB of RAM. Info from my A+ book.
What is RAM and why is it important when working with software?
Read the second paragraph for the simple answer
Think of it like this, your computer does projects for you rather it be going on the internet, running a program or whatever you may use it for. Your computer completing these projects can be compared to a library, your hardrive can be compared to the many bookshelves in the library that hold information. The CPU or "brains" of the computer is like a person who goes through the bookshelves to find whats needed and works with it. RAM is like a table at the library where the person would have all the books laid out that they are working on, now of course the CPU would be a lot better at this and could work on many items or "books" at once. The size of the RAM can be compared to the table and having a small coffee table compared to a huge dinner table to hold all the things you are working on is the difference on how much and fast things can get done at once.
Basically RAM is how a computer knows and holds what is is currently working with.
When an instruction is executed in a programm what happens in the processor memory?
All the programming instructions whcih are basically in the assembly code has the corresponding hexadecimal code.the microprocessor understand or interprets what this code is and based on that it performs operation
for eg HLT which had hexcode 76
the microprocessor understands76 as tha halt instruction and based on that it halts or terminates the program
