Computer Memory

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.

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

A memory management unit (MMU) is a small device between CPU and RAM recalculating the actual memory address, for example to provide an abstraction of virtual memory or other tasks.

Yes, this is good quantity and quality. Knowing the manufacture of the RAM listed above would be required for a more in depth answer.

ECC can detect the error but cannot correct it.

DDR RAM is dubble data rate random accesss memmory and is twice as fast as SD RAM or single data rate random access memory. it also runs at faster buss rates depening on what your mother board suports.

You can address 2^20 (or 1,048,576) locations. Each location will consist of 16 bits (1 or 0) which is commonly called a Word (though that isn't always the case).

I think what you're really looking for is the answer in bytes. Each data bus line holds a bit, 8 bits is a byte, so you're data line is 2 bytes. Since each location holds two bytes, this would be 2,097,152 bytes, or 2MB

Temporary storage in a computer is designated as RAM (Random Access Memory), and gets reset every time the computer is shut down; unlike permanent storage (Harddrives, Flash Drives). RAM allows a computer to run programs without bogging down the harddrive, which is much slower by comparison.

Magnetic data is not very reliable after a year or so, while flash-based data will usually last quite a bit longer. Flash-based memory also has a limited number of erase cycles, after which, whatever data is stored on that segment will not change.

The 8086/8088 can address a maximum of 220, or 1,048,576, or 1 MB of memory.

Short answer is no.They are not interchangeable.

It all depends on the motherboard in question. Look in the motherboard's manual. If you don't have the manual, look up the model number online.

The only processor right now is Intel atom.

The Intel Atom Z560 runs at 2.13ghz factory settings and as of right now is the fastest netbook processor

Intel atom based processors Netbook is a great little piece of technology, lightweight and easy to take anywhere.

RAM

Stands for "Double Data Rate." It is an advanced version of SDRAM, a type of computer memory. DDR-SDRAM, sometimes called "SDRAM II," can transfer data twice as fast as regular SDRAM chips. This is because DDR memory can send and receive signals twice per clock cycle. The efficient operation of DDR-SDRAM makes the memory great for notebook computers since it uses up less power.

CMOS RAM is Powered by a trickle of electricity from a small battery located on the motherboard or computer case, usually close to the firmware chip, so that when the computer is off, CMOS RAM still retains it's data.

4 GB

As far as I know the only way to get 8gb of ram is to buy it separately or get a customized laptop... With that option just about every laptop can support 8gb of ram as long as it is a 64-bit operating system

There is no specific, fixed, area of memory that a driver is stored in (this is handled by the OS as it is loaded) - However in Windows there is specific location in the file system where the device drivers are placed, this is C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore.

access times from memory is 200,000 times faster than access times from storage devices due to the mechanical movement involved.

The standard 'unit' for computer memory size is 1024; 1024 bits in a byte, 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte, and 1024 gigabytes in a terabyte.

Conventional memory refers to the memory reserved to run DOS programs in a computer system. DOS only uses the first 640 kb of memory in a PC.
