Exam 5: Ram

One of Rambus' best concepts may be the _______________ architecture-using two sticks of RDRAM together to increase throughput.

_______________ parity errors show up on systems that do not have parity or ECC memory.

Explain why DDR2 DIMMs and SO-DIMMS are not compatible with DDR DIMMs and SO-DIMMS.

At what voltage does DDR3L run?

One of Rambus' best concepts may be the dual-channel architecture-using two sticks of RDRAM together to increase _______________.

When a computer starts running out of real RAM because of too many loaded programs, the system swaps programs from RAM to the _______________ file, opening up more space for those programs that are currently active.

_______________ functions like an electronic spreadsheet, with numbered rows containing cells and each cell holding a one or a zero.

In reference to RAM sticks, CAS stands for _______________.

The ultra-low-voltage version of DDR3, _______________, runs at a miserly 1.25 V.

Describe how Windows' virtual memory uses a page file.?

What is the minimum system RAM requirement for the latest versions of Mac OS X?

Why is it better to add more system memory than use ReadyBoost to gain performance?

Describe two undesirable scenarios that can result from mixing RAM speeds on a system.

When adding RAM to a modern machine, where do you obtain information regarding the right stick or sticks for the particular motherboard?

Explain why DDR3 I/O speeds are quadruple the clock speeds, whereas DDR2 I/O speeds are only double the clock.

What is the theoretical maximum DDR4 DIMM capacity that manufacturers can create?

_______________ basically copied Rambus, doubling the throughput of SDRAM by making two processes for every clock cycle.

When you load a program in Windows, the PC copies the program from the mass storage device to _______________ and then runs it.

Modern DRAM sticks come in 32-bit- and _______________-bit-wide data form factors with a varying number of chips.

Intel's _______________ platform supports triple-channel memory.
