SDRAM (single dynamic randomn access memory) is the older style of memory with 2 notches on the stick. The speed of SDRAM is either 100 or 133 MHz (older SDRAM was 66 MHZ - do not mix with pc133 memory !) DDR (double dynamic rate) memory has only 1 notch. The DDR memory will read twice (double) as much information as the SDRAM - the speed of DDR is from 266 to 400 MHz

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.

I'm trying to populate a Cluster database. The loading process terminates prematurely and I get an error message like this one: ERROR 1114: The table 'my_cluster_table' is full

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.

If you haven’t worked with computer hardware before, it can be easy to confuse your hard drive with RAM memory. However, your hard drive is not the same thing as RAM memory (Random Access Memory). You can think of your hard drive as being like a file cabinet. It’s a good place to store a lot of information for a long time. Your RAM memory is like the top of your desk. This is where your system stores the information you’re currently working on.

Actually, there's no such thing as dual-channel DDR memory. There are, however, dual-channel platforms. If you have a dual-channel platform, simply purchase your DDR memory in pairs. However, be very careful to order two modules with the exact same specifications; the modules must be identical to each other to perform correctly.

Flash RAM is a generic term for the small amount of memory used by devices like TVs, VCRs and car radios to maintain custom information. Even when these items are turned off, they draw a tiny amount of power to refresh the contents of their memory. This is why every time the power flickers, the VCR blinks 12:00. It's also why you lose all presets on your radio when your car battery dies! Your computer has Flash RAM to remember things like hard disk settings.

The EVERPLAY founders have designed the standard so that it is media independent. This gives the consumer the flexibility and choice, while allowing for the survival of the standard as media types eventually change. MPV is a broad standard developed by an association that produce purely technical standards. The MPV developers encourage its use in development of practical standards by other companies.

DDR RAM is designed to run at Double Data Rate unlike older memory like SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM) this DDR capability is further enhanced by the actual speed of the RAM ie; PC66, PC100, PC133, PC2100 and now even upwards of PC3200.

PC1600 is designed for use in systems with a 100MHz front-side bus (effectively 200MHz in DDR mode). PC2100 is designed for use in systems with a 133MHz front-side bus (effectively 266MHz). However, since PC2100 was designed to be backward compatible, it has essentially replaced PC1600 in systems with a 100MHz front-side bus.

Your system board will support this new memory if you have the PE desktop model. Please check the parts list to verify which memory speed your system is equipped with. If you have 266MHz memory and wish to upgrade, please ask your store technician to help you upgrade to 333MHz.

SLC stands for "single level cell." MLC stands for "Multi-level cell." SLC is faster than MLC. However, MLC allows more data to be stored than SLC. When the capacity of an SSD increases, you want to pay particular attention to weather the manufacturer has gone to MLC. ALL Memoright and MTRON SSDs sold by DV Nation are SLC...EVEN the 2.5" 128GB Memoright! This means there is NO performance penalty.

The standard MityDSP contains 2MB flash and 8 MB RAM. An expanded memory version is available that contains 16MB flash and 32MB RAM.

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.

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.

Upgrading your computer's memory (RAM) is one of the quickest, most efficient and most cost-effective ways to boost performance. Many new computers come with only a bare minimum of memory installed. Adding more RAM can add more zip to your system. How much memory is enough? An average computer user is probably okay with the basic 128MB to 256MB of RAM. But as fast as technology changes, so will your need for additional memory. Just remember: more is better. 256MB is what most average users need.

Flash memory, or flash ROM, is a non-volatile storage medium. Flash can be read just like normal ROM, at about the same speed with about the same power consumption, but it can also be written to. Writing takes much higher power consumption and is relatively slow, so it is not practical for main system memory. The HP49 has 2MB of flash memory. The first megabyte is used by the system for the ROM (the internal system software). This means that the ROM can be upgraded as bugs are found and fixed.
