What is the difference between RAM and ARCHIVE memory?

Calculator Software .co.uk - Frequently Asked Questions
RAM (standing for Random Access Memory) memory is about 24 kilobytes in size and is where programs that you want to run need to be. Also stored in RAM are lists, matrices, functions, etc. ARCHIVE memory is separate from RAM and is where programs and applications are stored when they are not being used. If any data is in Archive memory, then typically it cannot be used, only stored there - it always has to be unarchived first to use it. GROUPS are always stored in archive memory.

Should I get extra RAM (Random Access Memory) for my laptop?

TSC Home - Laptops - Freshmen - FAQs
Extra RAM is useful if you want to keep multiple applications open at the same time. It also prevents applications from swapping data to the hard drive and, thus, speeds up certain processes. Your laptop comes with 2048MB, or 2GB, of RAM in one slot. This amount of RAM is usually adequate for most students in their undergraduate studies. However, the laptop can be upgraded to a maximum of 4096MB, or 4GB, of RAM.

What Is Random Access Memory (RAM)?

PC Basics
RAM is distinguished from ROM, which is read-only memory. The more RAM you have the more your computer can do at one time. RAM is volatile memory. It needs to be running to "remember" what it is doing. In case of a system failure or power interruption, you will lose all of your work in RAM that you have not saved on a disk drive. Save your work frequently.

How do I expand the RAM memory?

HammerSound - Info / Faq
If you got an AWE with simm-sockets (not the AWE value) then you can expand your RAM memory up to 28 Mb. The AWE has two simm-sockets. To expand your memory you will need two simm-modules of the same kind (30 pin and 80 ns or better, parity or no parity). You can't use only one simm. You can use up to 16 Mb modules but you will only get 28 Mb instead of 32 Mb. This is because the EMU chip can adress 32 Mb, 4Mb ROM (but the AWE only has 1 Mb) and 28 Mb RAM.

What is the difference between EDO memory and Fast Page Mode memory?

All of Memory FAQ
EDO memory has a faster read timing than FPM but has the same write timing. FPM is commonly used in 386 and 486 computers, while EDO is for Pentiums only. Apple computers should be configured with Fast Page Mode memory. EDO memory will not work in 486 computers.

What is the difference between cache and RAM?

SpecTek Select - Welcome
Your computer stores information in a number of different places, including your cache and your main memory (often called "RAM.") When you need to retrieve a piece of data, your system first looks in your cache, which is smaller and faster than your memory. If it doesn't find the information in cache, it looks in your memory. If the information isn't in your memory, your system looks in your hard drive, which is the slowest and largest of the places data can be stored.

The Ultimate TI Calculator FAQ - TI-83 and TI-84 (regular, P...
In general, it is probably best to send files to the archive memory. The TI-83 Plus (and Silver Edition) have much less RAM than archive, and the RAM is likely to fill up if you try to store everything there. Basic programs normally run out of RAM, so you will have to place them in RAM before running them. Assembly shells will generally copy the program to RAM before running it, so this is not a problem for them.
