What are the different computer memory types?

Answer 1

The 5 types are:

SIMM

DIMM

SODIMM

SORIMM

RDRAM

The basic types are volatile memory such as RAM memory and 'permanent' memory such as hard drives USB, external drives and CD/DVDs

Answer 2

Computers make use of ROM and RAM:

Read Only Memory, where permanent or semi-permanent information is stored, this can be read by the user/computer but can not be readily changed.

Random Access Memory is used for programs and data used during processing and can be changed readily.

Answer 3

There are 2 different types of memory on computers. First is the 'storage', or the hard drive. This is where one can store files, programs etc. The other type of memory is called RAM. This allows the programs to run at efficient speeds (similar to short term memory in humans)

Answer 4

There are seven basic types of computer memory. These seven types would be Random Access Memory, Serial Access Memory, Dynamic Random Access Memory, Video Random Access Memory, Flash Memory, Shadow Random Access Memory, and Read Only Memory.

Answer 5

1. read only memory
2. static read write memory, usually called static random access memory
3. dynamic read write memory, usually called dynamic random access memory
4. cache memory, a combination of content addressable memory and static read write memory
5. virtual memory
6. flash memory, a writable version of read only memory commonly used as a solid state replacement for harddisks
7. etc.

Answer 6

There are a variety of types of computer memory. These include removable drives, network and internet storage, hard drive, as well as ROM/BIOs.

Answer 7

There are three main types of RAM: SDRAM, DDR and Rambus DRAM

Answer 8

Important types of memory used by most computers include RAM, ROM, and some long-term data storage such as a hard disk or flash memory.

Answer 9

6 types of memory
