Which of these is commonly associated with the memory modules in today’s modern PCs?

A) SDRAM

B) ROM

C) RDRAM

D) SRAM

E) I can’t remember what I need to know about memory


The answers: A) SDRAM

Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) is the type of memory used on our DDR memory modules. ROM is read-only memory, and it’s commonly associated with our startup BIOS software. RDRAM refers to the now-outdated Rambus DRAM, and SRAM is the static RAM commonly used in our processor caches.
