PC Memory

Before an explanation of personal computer PC memory is given, we must first explain a PC. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it sits at your home on a desk with several other papers, notes and books-but how does it work for you? When it's time to increase memory, what are you going to do? When there's a storm, the power goes out, and you forgot to save the file, why do you lose it? You might think to yourself-"Who Cares???" You should; you'll need to know not only what caused the problem, but how to fix it and you can't do either without knowing how your system works. So, let's begin.

Personal computers are designed for the individual user; single user systems based on microprocessors or a CPU (central processing unit) and may be linked to other systems forming a network. With a network of the same computer system running, business could (and do) use PCs for word processing, desktop publishing, accounting, and things of the like. The first PC was constructed by Apple II in 1977 with IBM following a close second place in 1981. IBM gained the lead in PC manufacturing and use and has kept the lead. Other companies are building replicas of both types of systems, but for a lower price.

Copy cat, copy cat, are you really the same?

A replica of a IBM or Apple model PC may be developed to run with the same operations if has the same software and RAM (Random Access Memory). All PCs perform math operations and translate data from a machine language (computer language) to information we understand.
