Apple's Unified Memory Architecture first brought changes to the Mac with Apple Silicon M1 chips. There are clear architectural benefits for the hardware — and it is both good and bad for consumers.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Internet browsers and smartphone apps use a lot of memory which often affect the efficiency of other critical applications particularly programs written in C or C-like languages. Now, Emery Berger, a ...

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 ...

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 ...

AVADirect, a leading provider of custom computer systems, offers the first personal supercomputer workstation with Dual 8-Core Xeon CPUs, 192GB Memory and Four Graphics Cards. Because of the close ...
