Term | Definition |
---|---|
General Protection Fault (GPF) | A windows error 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. Today's 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 add parity. |
parity error | An error that occurs when the number of 1sin 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. |
RIMM | A type memory module develped 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 access only one dimm at a time. compare to dual CHANNEL and a tripple CHANNEL. |
single ranked | dimms that provide only one 64-bit bank. All memory chips on the dimm are accessed at the same time. 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. |
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 support Triple Channeling. |
