Q

ECC RAM

A

Error correction code, detects and corrects single bit errors

Can detect but not correct double-bit

Slower than non-ECC

Rare

17
Q

Registered/Buffered RAM

A

Small register added to RAM stick to solve electrical issues

Use one or other not both

18
Q

Working with RAM

A

Very sensitive to ESD

Don’t touch contacts

Make sure the RAM is right for the PC

19
Q

Do I need more RAM?

A

Sluggishness
Excessive hard drive accessing

20
Q

Virtual Memory

A

Use of HDD space for page/swap file

Used when you overtax RAM

“Virtual Ram”

Automatic process for any OS

21
Q

Disk Thrashing

A

excessive HDD use when Windows has to constantly use the page file

22
Q

System RAM Recs

A

32-bit Windows min 2gb, best 4gb

64-bit Windows min 8gb, best 16gb, 32 for high end

macOS min 4GB, 8+ for performance

Linux depends on distro, mostly similar to Windows and macOS

23
Q

Determine current RAM capacity shortcut

A

Win + Pause/Break
(Systems Control Panel applet)

24
Q

Task Manager shortcut

A

Ctrl+Shift+Esc

25
Q

Serial Presence Detect

A

automatically detects installed RAM to set up

26
Q

Service Mode

A

Make sure this is turned on when working on a laptop to ensure battery power is cut off

27
Q

RAM Issues

A

Page Fault
Non-Maskable Interrupt (Blue screen)
