RAMrelated
RAM-related refers to topics connected with random-access memory in computer systems, covering hardware, performance, and management aspects. RAM is fast, volatile storage that holds data and instructions the CPU actively uses. Its contents are lost when power is removed, making it unsuitable for long-term storage but central to system responsiveness and multitasking.
Most consumer systems use DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) modules. DRAM requires refreshing, which keeps costs low
Form factors include DIMMs for desktops and SO-DIMMs for laptops. Servers often employ error-correcting code (ECC)
Other RAM-related topics include memory bandwidth, latency, and how workloads interact with the memory subsystem. In
