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 o |
parity error | An error that occurs when the number of 1 is 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 | type of memory module developed by Rambus, Inc. |
