Question | Answer |
---|---|
General Protection Fault (GPF) | a windows fault that occurs when a program attempts to access a memory address that is not available or is no longer assigned to it. |
memory bank | the memory a processor addresses at one time. Todays desktop and notebook processors use a memory bank that is 64 bits wide |
parity | an error-checking scheme in which a ninth, or "parity" bit is added. The value of the parity bit is set to either 0 or 1 to provide an even number of ones for even parity and an odd number of ones for odd parity. |
parity error | an error that occurs when the number of 1s in the byte is not in agreement with the expected number. |
re-marked chips | chips that have been used and returned to the factory, marked again, and resold. The surface of the chips may be dull or scratched. |
RIMM | A type of memory module developed by Rambus, Inc |
SIMM (single inline memory module) | a miniature circuit board used in older computers to hold RAM. SIMMs holds 8,16,32 or 64 MB on a single module. |
Single channel | the memory controller on a motherboard that can only access one DIMM at a time. Compare to dual channel and triple channel. |
single ranked | DIMMs that provide only one 64 bit bank. Compare to dual ranked |
single-sided | memory chips embedded on only a single side of a DIMM. |
SO-DIMM (small outline DIMM) | A type of memory module used in notebook computers that uses DIMM technology. a DDR3 SO-DIMM has 204 pins. A DDR2 or DDR SO DIMM has 200 pins. |
synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) | a type of memory stored on DIMMs that runs in Sync with the system clock, running at the same speed as the motherboard. |
triple channels | when the memory controller accesses three DIMMs at the same time. DDR3 DIMMs suport triple channeling. |
