A buffer is an area of high speed memory that sits between the processor and the primary memory?
You should ask the question without the word "buffer" in the sentence. The correct statement would be;
A Cache is an area of high speed memory that sits between the processor and the primary memory.
What are subdivision of computer main memory?
Input Storage Area
Working Storage Area
Output Storage Area
Program Storage Area
Is there any difference between RAM and ROM how?
Ram=RAMDOM Access Memory, example your memory ram stick/s when you turn off or reset your PC everything stored there will be lose because it only keep temporal information while is on.
Rom= READ Only Memory, example your Hard Drive, here is where you store all your info for a later use if you want and once stored the PC can be shut down and you still will have everything if you saved it when you turn back on your PC.
What is the difference between a disk and a tape?
Disk allows for writing and reading any part of the disk at any time. This allows us to be playing games, surfing the web, and listening to music all at the same time. If we were to do this on tape, we would be able to only access the things in order they were on the tape, or we would have to wait while it scans the tape for our music, looking for empty space so we could download that latest patch.
Tape is a great way to backup your data because it's pretty cheep and easily stored and moved, but its only real use is bulk reading and writing (batch processing) of large amounts of data and other similar processes.
Disks are prone to mechanical failure, but allow for reading and writing files much easier and quicker but for a cost.
Tape is still widely used in a cooperate setting for off-site backups and for internal backups as accessing time while looking for a file to recover are not a concern where getting the file for your presentation in 5 minutes needs to be instant.

A zettabyte is a massive amount of bytes and referencing from wikipedia (yes it is correct) it is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes in decimal or 1021
Difference betweenECC 5.0 and ecc 6.0?
Not much unless you take into account the standard installation versus using SRM as a client installation.
What is the fastest type of memory?
The fastest type of memory on a computer is the registers that form the execution model of the processor.
What is CMOS often referred to as?
CMOS is an on-board, battery powered semiconductor chip inside computers that stores information and is also used as image sensors (CMOS sensor)
1 GB
What is the purpose of acontrol memory?
Control memory is a random access memory (RAM) consisting of addressable storage registers. It is primarily used in mini and mainframe computers. It is used as a temporary storage for data. Access to control memory data requires less time than to main memory; this speeds up CPU operation by reducing the number of memory references for data storage and retrieval. Access is performed as part of a control section sequence while the master clock oscillator is running.
u have 4 ram slots... 2gb is the max per slot... u have 4 ram slots... 2gb is the max per slot...
Allocation is performed by OS while memory detection is done by BIOS.
Because the people who decided to name them bits decided that 8 bits makes up a byte. It is just like asking why is a knife called a knife no real reason.
