A SODIMM (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module) is a series of small DIMM chips that is specifically designed to fit into smaller working environments such as mobile devices and notebook computers. SODIMMs are designed to be smaller than regular DIMMs due to space restrictions, but provide the same processing capabilities.

Video RAM (VRAM) is a type of RAM used to store data related to images and videos that a computer’s monitor displays. Generally, Video RAM is stored on the computer’s DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and reads like any other data before it is translated into display content.

A RAM “defragmenter” is a software that frees up wasted RAM on the computer in order to improve performance and prevent system failures. However, a RAM defragmenter does not defragment a computer’s memory.

A hypervisor is a virtualization technique that runs multiple operating systems on the device.

When the computer boots up, certain amounts of information are needed to ensure that the computer boots properly. This includes hard disk types, keyboard and display type, chip set and the time and data. For example, the hard drive booting properly means that the operating system boots properly.

Random-access memory is a type of data storage for computers. Commonly known as the acronym RAM or simply memory, random-access memory details the speed in which data that is stored can be accessed at random. This means that the strength of the RAM determines, at random, how fast a piece of data can be pulled and returned.

Random Access Memory (RAM) is a type of computer memory. It derives its name from the fact that any piece of data stored on it can be accessed at any time. RAM however stores data for as long as the computer is switched on or is in use. It is the most common type of computer memory available today.

RAM (Random Access Memory) usually refers to “temporary” memory, meaning that when the system is shut down, the memory is lost. This is why the memory is considered “random,” as any piece of information can be circulated through the memory regardless of its location and relation to any other information within the RAM.

SRAM, or Static Random Access Memory, is a type of memory device that stores accessed files and commands in a semi-permanent chip that only empties itself of stored data when it is no longer being powered, i.e. when the computer is unplugged or turned off.

NVRAM is an acronym for Non-Volatile Random Access Memory. NVRAM is a type of Random Access Memory (RAM) that retains its information when power is turned off.
