What are the types of RAM?Dynamic RAM

Static RAM Charges leak Need refreshing even when powered Simpler construction Smaller per bit Less expensive Need refresh circuits Slower Main memory

No charges to leak No refreshing needed when powered More complex construction Larger per bit More expensive Does not need refresh circuits Faster Cache

What are the two types of power supply?AT ATX

Old standard Uses with AT

motherboard Two 12-pin plugs Physical switch Provides less than 250

watts

New standard Uses with ATX

motherboard One 20/24 pin plug Soft switch Provides 300 watts or

more
