Apple's Unified Memory Architecture first brought changes to the Mac with Apple Silicon M1 chips. There are clear architectural benefits for the hardware — and it is both good and bad for consumers.

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

The error message “Your computer is low on memory” or ” Out of memory” is self-explanatory. Your computer does not have enough memory to run the programs. To ...

In the last few years, computer processor speed has accelerated exponentially. Yet, computer memory speed has not matched expectations. We saw the mass migration from PC100 memory to PC133 memory in ...

As modern games push memory harder, choosing the right amount of RAM matters more than ever. With DRAM pricing in flux, we revisit the big question: ...

I have 8 GB of RAM and on a clean boot with almost nothing running. I have 50% of my memory used up sometimes more. I thought it was a dead RAM stick so I tried to use one RAM stick at a time and they ...
