Across
- 5. A type of memory technology used on DIMMs that runs at twice the speed of the system clock, has one notch, and uses 184 pins. Also called DDR SDRAM, SDRAM II, and DDR
- 6. A method of measuring access timing to memory, which is the number of clock cycles required to write or read a column of data off a memory module
- 10. Two processor sockets on a server motherboard
- 11. A processor technology whereby the processor housing contains two or more processor cores that operate at the same frequency but independently of each other
- 13. A chipset feature on a motherboard that checks the integrity of data stored on DIMMs or RIMMs and can correct single-bit errors in a byte
- 14. When the memory controller accesses three DIMMs at the same time
Down
- 1. A motherboard feature that improves memory performance by providing two 64-bit channels between memory and the chipset
- 2. A creamlike substance that is placed between the bottom of the cooler heat sink and the top of the processor to eliminate air pockets and help draw heat off the processor
- 3. The AMD technology that allows each logical processor within the processor package to handle an individual thread in parallel; other threads are handled by other processors within the package
- 4. RAM chips that retain information without the need for refreshing, as long as the computer’s power is on; more expensive than traditional DRAM
- 7. A method whereby the OS uses the hard drive as though it were RAM
- 8. Each process that the processor is aware of; a ______ is a single task that is part of a larger task or request from a program
- 9. The Intel technology that allows each logical processor within the processor package to handle an individual thread in parallel; other threads are handled by other processors within the package
- 12. Technology used by a motherboard and DIMMs that allows the memory controller to access four DIMMS at the same time
