Question | Answer |
---|---|
Burst EDO (BEDO) | A refined of EDO memory that significantly improved access time over EDO. |
CAS Latency (CL) | A method of measuring access timing to memory, which is the number of clock cycles required to write or read a column of data off a memory module. |
C-RIMM (Continuity RIMM) | A placeholder RIMM module that provides continuity so that every rimm slot is filled. |
DDR2 | A type of memory technology used on DIMM used on DIMMs that runs at twice the speed of the system clock |
DDR3 | A type of memory technology used on DIMM used on DIMMs that runs at twice the speed of the system clock |
Direct Rambus DRAM | A memory technology by Rambus and Intel that uses a narrow network-type system bus. Memory is stored on a RIMM module. |
Double Data Rate SDRAM | A type of memory technology used on DIMM used on DIMMs that runs at twice the speed of the system clock |
DDR SDRAM | A type of memory technology used on DIMM used on DIMMs that runs at twice the speed of the system clock |
double-sided | A DIMM feature whereby memory chips are installed on both sides of DIMM. |
dual channels | A motherboard feature that improves memory performance by providing two 64-bit channels between memory and the chipset. |
dual ranked | Double-sided DIMMs that provide two 64-bit blanks. the memory controller accesses first one bank and then other. Duel ranked DIMMs do not perform as well as single ranked DIMMs. |
dynamic RAM (DRAM) | The most common type of system memory, it requires refreshing every few milliseconds. |
ECC (error-correcting code) | A chipset feature on a motherboard that checks the integrity of data stored on DIMMs or RIMMs and can correct single-bit errors in a byte. More advanced ECC |
EDO (extended data out) | A type of outdated RAM that was faster than conventional RAM because it eliminated the delay before it issued the next memory address. |
FPM (fast page memory) | An outdated memory mode used before the introduction EDO memory. |
General Protection Fault (GPF) | A windows error 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 contents of memory saved to a file at the time of an event halted the system. Support technicians can analyze the dump file to help understanding the source of the problem. |
