Question | Answer |
Burst EDO (BEDO) | refined version of EDO memory that significantly improved access time over EDO. |
CAS Latency (CL) | method of measuring access timing to memory, which is the number of clock cycles(cl) 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 cRIMM slot is filled |
DDR2 | a double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory interface |
DDR3 | double data rate type three synchronous dynamic random access memory, is a modern kind of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) with a high bandwidth interface |
Direct Rambus DRAM | a memory technology by Rambus and Intel that uses a narrow network-type system bus |
Double Data Rate SDRAM | a type of memory technology used on DIMMs that runs at twice the speed of the system clock |
DDR SDRAM | a versin of SDRAM that is faster than DDR and uses less power |
double-sided | a DIMM feature whereby memory chips are installed on both sides of a 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 that provide two 64-bit banks |
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 |
EDO (extended data out) | a type of outdated RAM that was faster than conventional RAM because it eliminated the delay before it issued the next memory address |
FPM (fast page memory) | an outdated memory mode used before the introduction of EDO memory |
