Bandwidth (computing)

In computing, bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path.

See RDRAM and Bandwidth (computing)

Computer memory

Computer memory stores information, such as data and programs, for immediate use in the computer.

See RDRAM and Computer memory

Creative Technology

Creative Technology Ltd., or Creative Labs Pte Ltd., is a Singaporean multinational technology company.

DDR SDRAM

Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DDR SDRAM) is a double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) class of memory integrated circuits used in computers. RDRAM and DDR SDRAM are SDRAM.

See RDRAM and DDR SDRAM

Digital light processing

Digital light processing (DLP) is a set of chipsets based on optical micro-electro-mechanical technology that uses a digital micromirror device.

See RDRAM and Digital light processing

DIMM

A DIMM, or Dual In-Line Memory Module, is a popular type of memory module used in computers.

See RDRAM and DIMM

Double data rate

In computing, double data rate (DDR) describes a computer bus that transfers data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal and hence doubles the memory bandwidth by transferring data twice per clock cycle.

See RDRAM and Double data rate

Form factor (electronics)

In electronics or electrical engineering the form factor of an alternating current waveform (signal) is the ratio of the RMS (root mean square) value to the average value (mathematical mean of absolute values of all points on the waveform).

See RDRAM and Form factor (electronics)

Format war

A format war is a competition between similar but mutually incompatible technical standards that compete for the same market, such as for data storage devices and recording formats for electronic media.

See RDRAM and Format war

Hang (computing)

In computing, a hang or freeze occurs when either a process or system ceases to respond to inputs.

See RDRAM and Hang (computing)

Heat sink

A heat sink (also commonly spelled heatsink) is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of the device's temperature.

See RDRAM and Heat sink

Hertz

The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second.

See RDRAM and Hertz

IBM PC–compatible

IBM PC–compatible computers are technically similar to the original IBM PC, XT, and AT, all from computer giant IBM, that are able to use the same software and expansion cards.

See RDRAM and IBM PC–compatible

Integrated circuit

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip, computer chip, or simply chip, is a small electronic device made up of multiple interconnected electronic components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors.

See RDRAM and Integrated circuit

Intel

Intel Corporation is an American multinational corporation and technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, and incorporated in Delaware.

List of interface bit rates

This is a list of interface bit rates, is a measure of information transfer rates, or digital bandwidth capacity, at which digital interfaces in a computer or network can communicate over various kinds of buses and channels.

See RDRAM and List of interface bit rates

Megabyte

The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.

See RDRAM and Megabyte

Microprocessor

A microprocessor is a computer processor for which the data processing logic and control is included on a single integrated circuit (IC), or a small number of ICs.

See RDRAM and Microprocessor

Multi-channel memory architecture

In the fields of digital electronics and computer hardware, multi-channel memory architecture is a technology that increases the data transfer rate between the DRAM memory and the memory controller by adding more channels of communication between them.

See RDRAM and Multi-channel memory architecture

Nanosecond

A nanosecond (ns) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billionth of a second, that is, of a second, or 10 seconds.

See RDRAM and Nanosecond

Nintendo 64

The (N64) is a home video game console developed and marketed by Nintendo.
