Notion And Functions of Ram

This article will discuss about one computer hardware which is very important, namely RAM (RAM sense). 

RAM stands for Random Access Memory usually referred to with the short term i.e. memory. Memory or RAM is a computer hardware that serves as a temporary data storage. Working with memory store and supply important data required Processor with fast reply to be processed into information.


To make it more easy to understand for example, when you open the an application such as microsoft or Mozilla firefox browser then the processor will open the program or that the application of computers and his load to memory or RAM. that's about a simple understanding of the function of memory or RAM.

You can also see how much memory is required when running an application or program. Do I right click on the desktop bar panel computer screen you then choose Task Manager, or through the keys CRTL + ALT + DEL on the keyboard.

On tap performance note on column PF usage, there is a number (that is the amount of memory required to display the application). More and more applications are active then the greater the memory it needs. 

Also note, although you did not open the application in no way means column PF Usage will be the number 0, because the windows operating system also requires memory to be active or live on your computer.

To understand this further you can be seen in the illustration of the working memory or ram belowWhen you turn on your computer, the first component of the work is the Processor.

Processor functions as processing data and requests data from data storage (storage), the Hard Disk (HDD). This means that the data being sent from the Hard Disk after a request from the Processor.

But practice it is hard to do because of the difference between the Processor & Hard Disk. Processor himself is components of pure digital, and will process the data very quickly (highest Bandwidth current P4 6.4 GB/s with FSB 800 MHz). While the majority of Hard Disk technology is certainly pretty slow mechanical than digital (Bandwidth or HDD Serial ATA Transfer Rate ranges from 150 MB/s). 

Theoretically the speed data Processor range 46 x faster than HDD. That is, if the Processor waits for the supply of data from the HDD will happen "Bottle-Neck" which was very severe.

Then to overcome it, needed a major Memory device (Primary Memory) or called RAM. RAM serves to assist in the provision of data Processor "super fast" is needed. RAM functions like a Digital HDD, because all components of RAM already using digital technology. 

With the RAM, then the Processor need not wait the shipment data from the HDD. Currently has a bandwidth of DDR2 RAM GB/s 3.2 (PC400), so as not to interfere with the supply so this time the Motherboard using a Dual Channel technology can double the bandwidth into a 2 x increase architecture into a 128-bit. 


It means that 2 pieces of DDR2 Dual Channel mode can supply the amounts of data that fit into the Processor (3.2 GB/s x Dual Channel = 6.4 GB/s).
