THE COMPUTER MEMORY

What is the computer memory?

          

           The memory refers to an hardware device used to store programmes, data or other digital  on temporary or permanent basis. We have basically two types of memory; which are:
1. The Read Only Memory (ROM)
2. The Random Access Memory (RAM)

1. The Read Only Memory (ROM): This is a type of storage device use in computers and other electrical   devices. Information store on the 'ROM' cannot be easily modified, the modification of any information on this type of storage media usually use to  be difficult.

2. The Random Access Memory (RAM): According to Mike Meyers he define a RAM as a spread sheet that hold ones and zeros. This RAM are mainly classified into three types namely:
i. Single Inline Memory Modules (S.I.M.M.)
ii. Dual Inline Memory Modules (D.I.M.M)
iii. RAMBUS.


      Ram are in capacities which consist of bytes. A byte is approximately 10000001. When we are talking about RAM we mean capacities in millions of bytes or megabytes. For older PC's 16 megabytes of RAM are usually common but for the modern PC's, 128Mb, 256Mb, 512Mb or 1Gb are common. RAM are usually fixed into a computer motherboard.
       Motherboard is the main part of the computer. It is a connection place where cards(Memory cards, VGA cards, Sound cards etc.), Mouse, Keyboard, CPU, RAM etc. are plugged. The motherboard is covered with connectors. Motherboard consist of slot for RAMS, expansion slots, connection for floppy drive, connection for hard drives. The modern motherboard are subdivided into two types, which are:
1. The AT  type of motherboard.
2. The ATX type of motherboard.

1. The AT type of  motherboard: This type of motherboard usually have a big keyboard connections and can only work with AT power supply.

2. The ATX: This type of motherboard is commonly or usually found in many motherboards today. It is made up of PS/2 connectors.

AT MOTHERBOARD

 

ATX MOTHERBOARD

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AT AND ATX MOTHERBOARDS.

AT has a large power switch which are passed to the front of the computer. The AT motherboard does not have a separate wire for switching it on or off while the ATX has a separate wire for the on or off switch.
