memory basics Flashcards
this is used to control the physical size of memory and its memory standard
packaging (form)
this refers to the storage limit of a memory module
capacity
With a read request, there is a delay between the time the data is requested and the time that the data is available this is called
CAS latency
memory that detects and corrects the common kinds of internal data corruption.
Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory (used in todays system)
memory that checks only for common kinds of internal data corruption
parity memory
memory used to transfer data to the memory controller.
buffer memory
memory modules organized into a single logical bank, it is called
single sided RAM
memory modules organized on both logical banks, it is called
double sided RAM
Memory modules are very sensitive to
ESD
when installing memory, start with which bank
first, second …
The first memory bank is often closest to the
processor
a BIOS error between 200 and 299 indicates
a memory error
a solution for high disk usage is to
add more physical memory
this error occurs when you try to open and use more than one program at a time
not enough memory error
registry and exceptions errors indicate
software generated memory problems
this type of memory, stores data using four transistors for every bit of data
Static RAM
this type of memory, stores data using a single transistor for every bit of data
dynamic RAM
this type of memory is faster and requires less power
Static RAM
this type of memory is simple to implement
Dynamic RAM
this type of memory is typically used in cache memory
Static RAM
RAM stand for
random access memory
ROM stand for
Read only memory
PROM stand for
programmable read only memory. configured only once
EPROM stand for
erasable PROM
