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.

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 ...

A new design for computer memory that could both greatly improve performance and reduce the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which ...

One potential solution to the problem of inefficient computer memory is a new type of technology known as resistive switching memory. Conventional memory devices are capable of two states: one or ...

With the particular needs of scientists and engineers in mind, researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest ...
