RAM
(Random Access Memory)

       The most common type of memory is called random access memory (RAM). As a result, the term memory is typically used to mean RAM. RAM is like an electronic scratch pad inside the computer.RAM holds data and program instructions while the CPU works with them. When a program launched, it is loaded into and run from memory. As the program needs data, it is loaded into memory for fast access. As new data is entered into the computer, it is also stored in memory but only temporarily.

SIMM 72 Pins                                (Use in 80386--------------------Pentium II computers)
DIMM or SD Ram (168 pins)       (Use in Pentium I---------------Pentium IV computers)
DDR I (184 Pins)                           (Use in Pentium IV computers)
DDR II (240 Pins)                          (Use in Pentium IV computers)

CD-ROM 

(Compact Disk-Read Only Memory)

Short for Compact Disc-Read Only Memory, CD-ROM drives or Optical Drives are CD players inside computers that can have speeds in the range from 1x and beyond, and have the capability of playing audio CD's and computer data CD's. Below is a picture of the front and back of a standard CD-ROM drive.


CD-ROM transfer speeds
Below are the standard transfer rates and access times for CD-ROM drives. The below figures are averages you can expect to find on each speed of CD-ROM drive.

What is X?
1. In general, an x is used to represent any single digit. For example, you may see Computer Hope and other companies list Microsoft Windows 3.x that indicates Windows 3.1 or Windows 3.11, or Microsoft Windows 9x that means either Windows 95 or Windows 98

2. When referring to a computer CD drive, an X refers to the transfer speed. For example, the original 1X CD-ROM had a speed of 153,600 BPS, this means a 24X has a BPS of 3,686,400 or 153,600 x 24. The higher the number, the faster data is going to be read from the CD drive
