Knowing the different types of Computer Memory is important. The post talks of HDD, SSD, Flash Memory, RAM, ROM, Tape Drives.

There are two main categories of memory: Internal memory: it temporarily memorizes data while programs are running. Internal memory uses micro conductors, i.e., fast specialized electronic circuits.

Perhaps the most well-known type of memory is random access memory (RAM), which is used for temporary storage of data and instructions that are actively being used by the computer’s processor.

DRAM is the main memory in a computer and SRAM is used for high-speed caches and buffers. Both types are "byte addressable," which means that data can be read and written one byte at a time.

The type of memory a computer uses varies depending on the make, model and form factor of the motherboard -- your PC won't recognize just any kind of RAM. Modules developed for desktop computers, for ...

Note: seems like planar memory could give serious competition to 3D memory. One potential solution to the problem of inefficient computer memory is a new type of technology known as resistive ...

In the past, that's all we've needed. But now, a third type of computer memory is on the scene, and it's capable doing everything on its own, plus a little more.

A memory upgrade's the best way to speed up that slow computer, but the RAM stick aisle at your local computer parts retailer is a cold and scary place. A little pre-research is in order: the How ...

Virtual memory lifts that restriction, enabling you to run programs even if they're too big to fit in RAM. To pull this off, the computer borrows additional memory space as needed from the hard drive.
