| 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| EDO (extended data out) | A type of outdated RAM that was faster than conventional RAM because it eliminated the delay before it issued the next memory address.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| FPM (fast page memory) | An outdated memory mode used before the introduction EDO memory.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. |
