Memory

  1. What are the 2 types of memory. Explain the acronyms
    • ROM- Read Only Memory
    • RAM- Random Access Memory
  2. What are the 3 types of ROM:
    • PROM - Programmable Read Only = Firmware
    • EPROM - Erasable Programmable Read Only- Can be done with UV Light
    • EEPROM- Electrically Erasable Program Read Only-Flash *annoying updates
  3. What are the 2 types of RAM
    • SRAM - static RAM (Cache L1, L2, L3) *Best bec built into CPU
    • DRAM- Dynamic RAM
  4. What are the 2 types of DRAM for laptops
    SO DIMM and Micro DIMM
  5. What are the two types of SIMM
    Single Inline Memory Module
    • 30 pin - Can be in FPM (fast page mode) or EDO
    • or 72 pin - EDO (extended data out mode only)
  6. What are the 4 DIMM
    (*Dual Inline Memory Modules)
    • 168-pin - SDRAM
    • 184-pin - DDR-SDRAM
    • 240-pin DDR2- SDRAM
    • 240-Pin DDR3- SDRAM (*New)
  7. What are the 2 RIMM
    Rambus Inline Memory Modules
    • 184-pin DDR-SDRAM
    • 240-pin DDR2-SDRAM
  8. Memory access speeds are measured in:
    nanoseconds, the lower the nanosec the faster the access
  9. What are the memory corrections for SIMMs
    Parity vs. Non parity
