How Your MAC uses Memory.
This site is probably far too simplistic
for this course. The author of the site starts off with the questions: "What's
all this about memory? What is RAM? How do I use it, and when do I need
more of it?" and then tries to answer the questions,
but from an an extremely abstract level. In fact, it is really just a
series of observations from someone who has had some problems due to lack
of RAM. Still, it offers an interesting perspective.

| How can I get this window to work like others and be able to change the ram allocation?
This web site is your online help for any questions you got about RAM allocation. The best thing about it, IT”S FREE! You can get e-mail updates and register with this site.
There is also a section that contains instructions on how to complete common system changes that most users will want to do to their system. Beginners should start with the simple “How To” and, maybe, use the advanced ones when the time is right. Note if you don't know a lot about computers, using the Advanced “How To” is not recommended. “How To” are being added all the time so it is recommended that you bookmark this page.
Be advised that if you want to visit this site, type in the correct address that is provided. Otherwise, you will end up somewhere else, not that it will be bad. This site is a great tool for those of you that plan to major in CIS, or just learn. |

| Storing characters in RAM This website is good for an introductory session into the various ways data types are physically stored in RAM. This website discusses the way different data types such as 8-bit signed and unsigned characters, 16- bit signed and unsigned characters are stored in binary form. The website is easy to navigate through and is written in a manner that is easy for first time programming students to comprehend. |

introducing one to the different types of RAM and will help you determine which type is better suited for your needs. |

| HOW RAM WORKS? This website discusses how RAM works. It has several sections to it. In the introduction it shows basically what RAM is and how bits and bytes work in memory. In RAM Basics section it talks about RAM allocations, microprocessors, and memory cells. In the memory modules, it talks about circuits and motherboards. The error checking section states how the memory chips with built-in error-checking typically use a method known as parity to check for errors. Other sections of this site show the common RAM types and how do hard drives work. This is a pretty easy to use site. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in finding out what RAM actually is used for. |
| HOW RAM WORKS? This website has information about many computer-related subjects ranging from descriptions about how RAM works to how bits and bytes work and much more. It has many subtopics with deeper descriptions every time. Most of what is stated is in non-technical terms and is easily understandable. Also, pictures and graphic explanations are used. It is a very helpful website. |

| Information about RAM This website provides the definition of what Random Access Memory (RAM). It also provides several links that provide more information on how memory is allocated and used within the PC. There are other links that provide the various types of memory other than RAM such as ROM, SRAM, DRAM etc… |

| Random Access Memory Step-by-Step RAM solutions The reference I selected for RAM Allocation was an article that explained exactly what RAM is and what it is used for. It states that many people get confused by the subject of storage. What exactly is the difference between RAM, ROM, memory and hard drive. There are two types of storage either temporary or permanent storage. ROM (read only) is a type of permanent storage because it will be their when you come back. For example, the operating system (Windows 98) is stored on ROM. On the other hand, RAM is a type of temporary storage that is used as a tool to carry out a task. For example, you use a program (Microsoft Word) and as soon as you are done you close it and it goes away. If you turn off the computer without saving it, the document will be wiped out when you turn it on later. It is important to understand how data types are stored in RAM. We don’t have to know in what specific address a variable is stored in as long as we understand it is stored in some address in memory. This is a good reference to understand the basic functions of RAM and how it stores data in memory. |

| RAM Use and Available Hard Disk Space in Photoshop- Support
Knowledgebase While trying to gather information about how a computer allocates information into RAM, I ran into this interesting web site. This web site talks how a particular program known as Photoshop uses RAM. Photoshop uses RAM to quickly process an image by decreasing the number of times the program has to read and write from the actual hard drive. The web site goes off by explaining, in detail, how to determine allocated RAM and Scratch Disk Space to use for Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop controls its images by allocating hard disk space known as scratch disks, for its images then uses RAM to cache the images so that they can later be edited. This web site gave me a better way to understand RAM by actually illustrating its function on an actual program. This web sites also has other helpful links such as support, training, purchase and company information of Adobe (the makers of Photoshop). |

| SQL server magazine This is a web site for SQL Server magazine. For anyone who wants to catch up with the world of computers, this magazine will help. You do not have to be a member to look around this site. Several topics are found by typing a few keywords. One topic in particular that might be helpful in this class would be “Simple Data Type”. This area provides information on numbers and character strings. These are the most basic kinds of values. A numeric value has multiple digits and a character string consists of multiple letters. Users can apply operators, such as comparison (=,<,>), Boolean (not, and, or), arithmetic (*+/-), or concatenate, to represent values as decimals or strings without having to know anything about the internal structure of values. In this site, you can also learn about user-defined data types as well. |

what RAM is and gives 2 different types of RAM. One being dynamic RAM
(DRAM) and static RAM (SRAM). It also gives other guides to how RAM works,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_access_memory |
| Random Access Memory. This gives a brief definition of what RAM is and the diffenent types of RAM that exist. It even shows how RAM physically looks in the computer. This isn't recommended for someone who wants a detailed explanation about RAM |
| In particular, I liked this encyclopedia
because it has very short articles about everything, generally of one
paragraph or less. I has stubs that take you from one definition to
another. In general, this encyclopedia, helps you to find anything related
with this class and much more. |

| The link above takes you directly to bits
and bytes. However, if you want to make a serch about a different topic go to the main page. www.howstuff.works.com. The website is great, you can find almost everything how modems, internet, ntworks, bites and bytes work and so on.Besides , it even helps you to learn how to program in C,C++, Java and other languages , it guides you step by step and also explains you the logic behind the code or structure of this programs. Furthermore, this si8te has helped for other classes like finance and economics becuase you can look for any term lear what it menas and how it works. The page is really easy to navigate, and the language they use is not hard to understand and if you don't understand a word or a technical word there are links or those words are bolded so you can go and see the definition and then keep on reding the article.
