RAM – Random Access Memory (Volatile). ROM – Read Only Memory (Non-Volatile). RAM can be classified into 2 types SRAM – Static RAM – Expensive, used mostly in cache memory. DRAM – Dynamic RAM SRAM types ASYNC SRAM SYNC SRAM Pipeline Burst RAM DRAM types FPM DRAM – Fast Page Mode DRAM ---- Very slow, Access time – 120 ns (Access time: Time taken to retrieve data from memory). EDO DRAM – Extended Data Out DRAM ----- Able to retrieve more than 1 data at the same time Faster than FPM DRAM. BEDO DRAM – Burst EDO DRAM SDRAM - Synchronous DRAM DDR SDRAM – Double Data Rate SDRAM Other types of memory Cache Memory i) L2 cache – Faster than RAM, 20 to 30 ns. ii) Faster than L2 & RAM, 10 ns. Inbuilt in CPU & smaller in size. Conventional or Base memory – 640 KB size. Extended Memory (XMS) - Expanded Memory (EMS) RAM Error Messages when corrupted General protection error Program performed an illegal operation How to create VLANs? Wha...
Technology simplified. This blog explains Computers and Networking basics in simple words which transfers my knowledge to others and to review myself the explained concepts in future. Our vision is to help our readers to understand the basic concepts of PC and networking. This little effort may help CCENT, CCNA and A+ certifications study group.
