Not all kinds of computer memory is random access, however. It used to be common for computers to store information on separate machines, known as tape drives, using long spools of magnetic tape (like giant-sized versions of the music cassettes in old-fashioned Sony Walkman cassette players)...
The original iPod was not much more than a hard drive: an incredibly efficient computer memory device that uses simple magnetism to store vast amounts of information. Hard drives were invented over 50 years ago and have been used in personal computers since the mid-1980s (though flash memory...
Vail processes more than 48 million billing records a day, and while each call log is relatively small, they add up to about 4.5GB of data in the SQL database per day. Customer automated queries had required significant disk access at Vail because the server’s memory could not handle rand...
AMD Phenom II Quad-Core N950 (2.1GHz); 15.6″; 4GB Memory; 640GB HDD 5400rpm; DVD Super Multi; ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 …you’ll actually know what the heck they’re talking about! We’re going to cover topics that we think are important, but if there’s a technology that you...

Apple introduced the iMac and iBook product lines for the more basic computer buyers and the PowerBook and G series computers for the advanced purchasers. Apple continues to forge ahead in design with the introduction of the iPod digital music player and the iTunes Web site for the sale and...
You're thinking of IBM / Microsoft BASIC, which was only really part of the BIOS on the original "5150" PCs (and possibly XTs), whose memory size and processing power was rather more akin to that of mid-to-high-end 8-bit systems than anything we'd recognise as a "PC" today, and...
Imagine if your memory worked only while you were awake. Every morning when you got up, your mind would be completely blank! You'd have to relearn everything you ever knew before you could do anything. It sounds like a nightmare, but it's exactly the problem computers have. Ordinary ...
MP3 players, such as (sadly now defunct) iPods, are a great example. Smaller than a pack of cards and only a little heavier, they can store thousands of music tracks, photos, or videos. A typical 20GB (gigabyte) player has enough memory to store about 500 CDs—rather more than you ...
