Main Memory (RAM) Organisation

Main Memory (RAM) Organisation Computers employ many different types of memory (semi-conductor, magnetic disks, USB sticks, DVDs etc.) to hold data and programs. Each type has its own characteristics and uses. We will look at the way that Main Memory (RAM) is organised and briefly at the characteristics of Register Memory and Disk Memory. Let us locate these 3 types of memory in a simplified model of a computer: *Disk Memory *SRAM, DRAM, SDRAM, DDR SDRAM *ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, Flash
