Computer memory is internal storage areas in the computer used to either temporarily or permanently store data or instructions to be processed.
There are four basic types of computer memory:
(i) Cache Memory,
(ii) RAM,
(iii) Virtual Memory and
(iv) Hard Drives.
With modern CPU’s running at speeds of 1 gigahertz or higher, it is hard for computer memory to keep up with the extreme amount of data being processed. Computer engineers fixed the problem by “tiring” memory. By using this tiring effect, engineers use a small amount of more expensive memory and a large amount of low cost memory.
