What was Bill Gates famous quote regarding computer memory in 1981?

The famous quote by Bill GAtes about Memory in1981 was ," Memroy is an important thing and needs to be taken care of or it will burn out and die of natural causes, we can not live without memory or we also will die by the know existnce of death".

What is the least expensive type of memory per MB?

Secondary memory (or secondary storage) is the slowest and cheapest form of memory. It cannot be processed directly by the CPU. It must first be copied into primary storage (also known as RAM ).

What is the purpose of cmos ram?

The purpose of CMOS RAM is to hold the BIOS program as it is executed by the processor. BIOS is the first program to be loaded when a computer is powered on.

How much ram is 512mb plus 0.98gb?

mb is smaller than gigs so 512mb is half a gig.

What is the advantage of paging the page table?

In certain situations the page tables could become large enough that by paging the page tables, one could simplify the memory allocation problem (by ensuring that everything is allocated as fixed-size pages as opposed to variable-sized chunks) and also enable the swapping of portions of page table that are not currently used.

How do you upgrade your ram?

You upgrade your RAM on your computer by buying RAM expansion cards for your computer. You then would have to open your computer case and you look for what look like rectangle shaped slots that are on the motherboard. These are called expansion slots and you would slide the RAM expansion card in one of these slots till the card is all the way in. You will want to put some force while putting the card in to make sure that it is properly seated in the expansion slot but you will want to also be gentle as the cards are pretty delicate and even a chip could cause it to not work properly.

Explain different types of ram?

SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)

Almost all systems used to ship with 3.3 volt, 168-pin SDRAM DIMMs. SDRAM is not an extension of older EDO DRAM but a new type of DRAM altogether. SDRAM started out running at 66 MHz, while older fast page mode DRAM and EDO max out at 50 MHz. SDRAM is able to scale to 133 MHz (PC133) officially, and unofficially up to 180MHz or higher. As processors get faster, new generations of memory such as DDR and RDRAM are required to get proper performance.

DDR (Double Data Rate SDRAM)

DDR basically doubles the rate of data transfer of standard SDRAM by transferring data on the up and down tick of a clock cycle. DDR memory operating at 333MHz actually operates at 166MHz * 2 (aka PC333 / PC2700) or 133MHz*2 (PC266 / PC2100). DDR is a 2.5 volt technology that uses 184 pins in its DIMMs. It is incompatible with SDRAM physically, but uses a similar parallel bus, making it easier to implement than RDRAM, which is a different technology.

Rambus DRAM (RDRAM)

Despite it's higher price, Intel has given RDRAM it's blessing for the consumer market, and it will be the sole choice of memory for Intel's Pentium 4. RDRAM is a serial memory technology that arrived in three flavors, PC600, PC700, and PC800. PC800 RDRAM has double the maximum throughput of old PC100 SDRAM, but a higher latency. RDRAM designs with multiple channels, such as those in Pentium 4 motherboards, are currently at the top of the heap in memory throughput, especially when paired with PC1066 RDRAM memory.

DIMMs vs. RIMMs

DRAM comes in two major form factors: DIMMs and RIMMS.

DIMMs are 64-bit components, but if used in a motherboard with a dual-channel configuration (like with an Nvidia nForce chipset) you must pair them to get maximum performance. So far there aren't many DDR chipset that use dual-channels. Typically, if you want to add 512 MB of DIMM memory to your machine, you just pop in a 512 MB DIMM if you've got an available slot. DIMMs for SDRAM and DDR are different, and not physically compatible. SDRAM DIMMs have 168-pins and run at 3.3 volts, while DDR DIMMs have 184-pins and run at 2.5 volts.

RIMMs use only a 16-bit interface but run at higher speeds than DDR. To get maximum performance, Intel RDRAM chipsets require the use of RIMMs in pairs over a dual-channel 32-bit interface. You have to plan more when upgrading and purchasing RDRAM.

What bus does the CPU use to access the system's ram?

Programs from the hard drive are sent to the RAM for quick access and from there are sent to either the CPU or GPU, depending on whether the operation is calculational or some type of video processing.

How many bytes in a gigahertz?

Answer Gigabytes is a measure of computer memory storage capacity, Gigahertz is a measures frequency, the two can not be equated.

What are the technical specifications of the RAM memory PC2 6400?

The specifications are memory chips and memory modules. The DDR PC3200 RAM is a popular choice when one has to specify in this specific memory equipment.

What is the largest fully buffered ECC 240 pin DDR2 DIMM sold today?

The largest size DDR2 DIM sold today (2013) is a 244-pin MiniDIMM. It is used for DDR2 SDRAM. Currently, the fastest speed on a DDR2 DIM is 1066 MHz.

How many MB in 2 GB of memory?

To convert from GB to MB, you multiply by 1024. Therefore, 2.6 GB is 2662.4 MB. If you have more complicated math to perform, google can do the conversion for you. For instance, if you want to know how long it will take to download a 10 GB file over a 20 Mbps internet connection, just google "10 GB / 20 Mbps". Make sure you use the correct case, as a MB (megabyte) is 8 times larger than a Mb (megabit).

Google could also be used to answer the original question. Try googling "2.6 GB in MB". A new search engine, Wolfram Alpha, is also supposed to be capable of this type of math and conversion.

What uses RAM?

Things that use RAM include all desktop applications such as word processors, spread sheets, power points, or any other applications on the desktop including games such as PC game discs and MMORPGS. Any thing that also requires the use of the internet uses RAM such as, web browsers.

What is primary memory?

Memory is a loose term when it comes to computers. Memory can mean one of two things that are both primary and absolutely necessary to run a computer. One is RAM, which is the smaller memory that helps with computer performance. Without it, the computer will not start up at all because the RAM is used for essential backround tasks. The other memory is HDD memory (hard drives). This memory is used to store information that does not need to be accessed instantaneously. HDD memory is used to store the operating system of a computer, as well as other information such as programs and documents. There is no "primary" memory, in a computer, as it can mean two different things that are both invaluable.

Is Cache memory generally slower than RAM?

Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data, it looks first in the cache memory and if it finds the data there (from a previous reading of data), it does not have to do the more time-consuming reading of data from larger memory.

Cache Memory generally comes in smaller size (3MB, 6MB etc) than the RAM (512 MB, 1GB,2GB.....)

How many songs can you store on a 16GB memory card?

A three-minute song is about 5MB, and there are 1024MB in a GB...or 8096MB on your memory card. You'll lose some space here and there, so let's say your 8GB card holds 7800MB of data. So, rounding down, you should be able to store about 1500 songs on your memory card.

As with everything, your mileage may vary--someone who listens to Iron Maiden (a band that routinely releases 10-minute songs) is going to get fewer songs on the card than someone who listens to radio-friendly hits.

How much RAM can you add to your computer?

Easily....However you must be certain that you are installing the correct type of RAM for your system. There is DDR - DDR2 - low density - high density. Check to be sure what kind you have before you buy more

What is the smallest addressable unit of storage in a computer?

1 bit = a 1 or 0 (b)

4 bits = 1 nybble (?)

8 bits = 1 byte (B)

1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB)

1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte (MB)

1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)

1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte (TB)
