The portion of a computer’s RAM that is used by a hardware device such as a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), sound card, network adapter, and other hardware components is known as Hardware Reserved.

When a computer in your business experiences a "blue screen of death," it usually means that there is a severe problem with your computer. BSODs can be caused by problems with hardware, drivers or ...

In traditional computer architectures some information is kept in fast and expensive, but volatile, memory, that is, when the power is turned off the data goes away. Other information is kept in ...

Memory-cleaner programs may appear to free up system memory, but they usually don't do much to cure low system-memory problems. Topher, an avid Mac user for the past 15 years, has been a contributing ...

There’s an apocryphal quote floating around the internet that “640K ought to be enough memory for anybody” but it does seem unlikely that this was ever actually said by any famous computer moguls of ...

A computer's maximum supported system memory, or RAM, is contingent on the processor, the operating system and the motherboard. These three factors provide hardware and software limitations that ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

After studying most of its servers for more than two years, Google finds memory failures are much more common than expected, and debunks some other myths, too. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from ...

Many people ask – How do I find out how much RAM is installed on my computer? How much memory does my Graphics card have? How much Video memory does my Windows PC have? In this post, we will see how ...

For design engineers developing the next generation motherboards, DRAM memory is becoming a major concern as end-users demand more memory. Software operating systems are getting larger and the ...
