Memory Concepts Quiz

Computer memory systems can be located internally (e.g., processor registers, cache, main memory) or externally (e.g., optical disks, magnetic disks, tapes)

The key characteristics of computer memory systems include location (internal or external), capacity (number of words, number of bytes), unit of transfer (word, block), access method (sequential, direct, random, associative), performance (access time, cycle time, transfer rate), and physical type (semiconductor, magnetic, optical, magneto-optical)

The physical characteristics of computer memory systems include volatile/non-volatile, erasable/nonerasable, and organization (memory modules)
