< RAM\n(Random Access Memory) A group of memory chips, typically of the dynamic RAM (DRAM) type, which function as the computer's primary workspace. When personal computers first came on the market in the late 1970s, 64KB (64 kilobytes) of RAM was the upper limit. Today, 64MB (64 megabytes) of SDRAM is entry level for a desktop computer, a thousand times as much (see SDRAM).\n\nThe "random" in RAM means that the contents of each byte of storage in the chip can be directly accessed without regard to the bytes before or after it. This is also true of other types of memory chips, including ROMs and PROMs. However, unlike ROMs and PROMs, RAM chips require power to maintain their content, which is why you must save your data onto disk before you turn the computer off. To learn about the types of RAM chips and how to upgrade your memory, see memory module. To learn how memory is used to process data, see computer or memory. See also dynamic RAM and static RAM.

YES there is.\n\nThe Notebook rams are half the length of the desktop rams. And they are generally more expensive.\n\nThe Desktop Rams are normally called DIMMs and Laptop Rams are called SO-DIMMs\n\nHave a look at the the two different types on this website, \n\nhttp://www.corsair.com/corsair/valueselect.html

virtual memory is memory space reserved on your hard disk to be used as RAM, although it is far too slow than the electronic memory but it helps a lot for the windows to run smoothly. VM managers are softwares who manager virtual memory to save the disk space and make the RAM more efficient.

physical memory is the hardware (RAM) installed in a computer, whereas virtual memory is when the computer runs out of physical memory and starts using the hard drive to store data.

Actually, this is not quite correct. There is something more advance being researched and discussed: ferroelectric RAM, a revolutionary new type of chips that can hold 12TB or something like that in the space of one of the silicon chips of today's RAM. Google ferro-electric ram and see what pops up.

I don't know u r so complicated this thing.\nRAM Defines By Its Capacity.Not Speed At All\nIt is a Temporary Memory.\nThe System To Be Speed We Need Optimum RAM Capacity.\n\nIn the Case Of CPU Is A Engine That Should Be Speed,\nThe Speedy CPU Will work fine with high capacity RAM\nHave u got it

go to www.crucial.com\nthere you will be able to find out your memory type\nmost probably a small software will be downloaded\nthe execution of that small software could result in telling you the type of RAM your system can accept\nok

Are you referring to Virtual Storage (Also called Virtual Memory)?\n\nVirtual memory or virtual memory addressing is a memory management technique, used by multitasking computer operating systems wherein non-contiguous memory is presented to a software application as contiguous memory. The contiguous memory is referred to as the virtual address space.  The vitual address space is typically 4-10 times the size of the actual physical memory.\n\nThe term "virtual memory" often involves the use of "memory swapping" (or "page/swap file" use).\n\nIn technical terms, virtual memory allows software to run in a memory address space whose size and addressing are not necessarily tied to the computer's physical memory.

SRAM consists of 4-6 times transistors as SDRAM\n\nThere are two basic types of RAM:\n\n* dynamic RAM (DRAM)\n A type of physical memory used in most personal computers. The term dynamic indicates that the memory must be constantly refreshed (reenergized) or it will lose its contents. RAM  (random-access memory) is sometimes referred to as DRAM (pronounced dee-ram) to distinguish it from static RAM (SRAM). Static RAM is faster and less volatile than dynamic RAM, but it requires more power and is more expensive.\n\n * static RAM (SRAM) \n Short for static random access memory, and pronounced ess-ram. SRAM is a type of memory that is faster and more reliable than the more common DRAM (dynamic RAM). The term static is derived from the fact that it doesn't need to be refreshed like dynamic RAM.\n\nWhile DRAM supports access times of about 60 nanoseconds, SRAM can give access times as low as 10 nanoseconds. In addition, its cycle time is much shorter than that of DRAM because it does not need to pause between accesses. Unfortunately, it is also much more expensive to produce than DRAM. Due to its high cost, SRAM is often used only as a memory cache.

No you cannot. RAM sticks inside the PC are 'lightning fast' compared to USB sticks. USB are horribly slow.\nAlso, RAM memory is made so that it forgets everything when the power is taken away. USB sticks are the opposite. They are 2 completely different types of memory.

DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM)\nAllows transactions on both the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle. It has a bus clock speed of 100MHz and will yield an effective data transfer rate of 200MHz.\n\n SDRAM (Static RAM)SDRAM, DDR, RAMBUS\nIntroduced in late 1996, retains memory and does not require refreshing. It synchronizes itself with the timing of the CPU. It also takes advantage of interleaving and burst mode functions. SDRAM is faster and more expensive than DRAM. It comes in speeds of 66, 100, 133, 200, and 266MHz.\n\n RDRAM - RIMM\nRambus, Inc, in conjunction with Intel has created new technology, Direct RDRAM, to increase the access speed for memory. RIMMs appeared on motherboards sometime during 1999. The in-line memory modules are called RIMMs. They have 184 pins and provide 1.6 GB per second of peak bandwidth in 16 bit chunks. As chip speed gets faster, so does the access to memory and the amount of heat produced. An aluminum sheath, called a heat spreader, covers the module to protect the chips from overheating.\n\nYour best bet currently is DDRAM with faster access speeds than SDRAM. RDRAM is more expensive.
