ECC memory is more reliable than Non-ECC memory T A parity error rarely causes the system to halt F System using RIMMs are still being made F Mixing un-buffered memory with buffered or registered memory will work fine. F SRAM is slower and cheaper than DRAM F If your PC is operating in dual-channel mode, the RAM modules in each bank must be identical T DDR SDRAM has ONE Notch. DDR2 SDRAM HAS 240-PINS on the connecting edge. With dual channels, the memory controller can communicate with two DIMMs at the same time, effectively doubling the speed of memory access. If a slot does not hold a RIMM, it must hold a placeholder module called to ensure an electrical connection on throughout all slots. Todays memory uses a new method of error checking called ECC that can detect and correct an error in a single bit. A DIMM gets its name because it has independent pins on opposite sides of the module. DIMMs intended to be used in servers must be extremely reliable and use an error checking technology called is intended to be used in servers must be extremely reliable and use an errorchecking technology called ECC. A Rambus memory module is called an RIMM. High-performance memory modules often have heat sinks installed to reduce heat and help the module last longer. In windows, memory errors can cause frequent GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT errors. SRAM is used for cache memory and is contained on the processor. Which type of RAM module would be installed in a notebook (laptop) computer? SO-DIMM Which type of RAM module would be installed in a netbook (sub-notebook)? MICRO-DIMM. On a DDR2-800 PC2-6400 module, the number 800 represents the _____of the module. On a DDR2-800 PC2-6400 module, The Bandwidth (throughput) of the module is. If the chips surface is full or matted, or you can scratch off the markings with a fingernail or knife, suspect that the chip has been RE-MARKED. When installing a DIMM or RIMM, notches on the edge of the module will help you orient it correctly in the socket. If the motherboard supports duel CHANEL, installing matching DIMMs in each channel. Bandwidth (or throughput) is equal to the width of the data path of the module, multiplied by the __________________________of the data. RAM which transfers data twice for every clock pulse is called DDR SDRAM. The data path of a single DIMM is 64 bits wide. Permanent storage, such as hard drive, is called secondary storage. Temporary storage such as ram is called volatile storage. The term used for all types of RAM, which temporarily holds data and instructions while the CPU processes them. SRAM
