How do pen drive and memory cards keep the memory without electricity or batteries. How does the memory keep in there?
There are all sorts of memory types and some are non volatile memories that retain information even when power is removed.

I have some work saved on a memory stick which I typed up on my home computer. Unfortunately my memory stick snapped today so I cannot get the work to print out.It is however in my recent documents in Microsoft Word but will not open as the memory stick is obviously not plugged in. Is there any way I can open the document without the memory stick as Microsoft Word uses an auto save feature?
Thanks for any help.
Nope, sorry. The autosave feature probably autosaved your document to the memory stick.
I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen 8gb but on the iTunes memory screen it says that my maximum memory is 7.01 gb. Is there a reson for this or is this false advertising on Apples part?
7.01GB is available for storing songs and stuff. The rest is used for the data that makes the ipod run the way it does. Its annoying because apple advertise the total amount the ipod has, not the amount you can use.
In windows XP, what is meant by the initial size of virtual memory and the maximum size of the virtual memory? What changes can be seen when you change these values?
And, greater share of memory should be used on programs or system cache?which is better?what does cache do?
The "cache" is a virtual memory – when RAM in your computer is all filled up the computer uses a file on the hard drive to store additional data that should go to the RAM. Windows sets the size of this file (pagefile.sys) automatically and on a netbook your change wouldn’t do much difference, so I suggest you to leave it as it is.
Min size – the starting size of the pagefile.
Max size – the maximum size of the pagefile. If you set this manually and the computer takes up this amount the software you are running could crash because of lack of free memory.
I wanna get 240 gt video card GDDR5. They come in two versions 512mb and 1 gb memory. I know that for the speed of the game the frequency of GPU is mostly responsible, but what does memory do?
Thanks you!
Just allows more specific graphic details to be stored on the video card. Important for animation if there are thousands of things changing all the time….
Also, the larger your screen, the more detail the card needs to hold, so more memory helps with that. Running a 1024×768 display, not as much memory needed compared to a 1920×1080 screen.
It never hurts to have more, especially if doing any serious gaming…
My commit charge (total amount memory being used) is only 30% of my total physical memory.
Does this mean that even though i set my initial virtual memory size to 1.5 times my physical memory, it won’t use it until it runs of of physical?
one top tip for you.
windows will load into the virtual ram at start up.
Turn off the paging file (virtual ram)
this will force windows to load into the RAM
thus forcing windows to run faster.

My phone memory is full and I am trying to bluetooth music from my laptop on to the memory card in my phone. I have gone in to settings, then memory settings, then default memory and I have set them all to memory card. When I try to bluetooth the music it says that there isn’t enough room, but there is loads of room on my memory card. Can anyone help?
You’ll need to clear some stuff off the phone first. Most phones receive stuff into their internal memory before transferring to the card.
I have a psp but no memory card. It is modded and tricked out and i have many games, but they are on a dvd how do you get them off the dvd and onto the psp memory stick. And also how big of a memory card should i get. And what type of memory card should it be, is there a special type of memory card for games to be downloaded onto it? And give me some tips, i just got my psp and i am taking advice.Thank you guys for Readin and please reply.
problably a 4gb or more, dvds hold about 4.7 gb, it depends on the length and quality of the video on the dvd
I have exceptional memory, it’s like photographic, but I memorize what I read, I heard a term for it on criminal minds, but I can’t remember it. As I said it’s connected to what I read. Thanks.
It is called an eidetic memory. In Criminal Minds, Dr Spencer Reid has it as well as an iq of 187 and the ability to read at 20,000 words per minute.
I want to buy myself a new digital camera and I have been highly considering this one because many people I know are happy with it. I was just wondering how much memory it came with and if you guys think I should buy a different memory card or not. Thanks!
The A1100 IS comes supplied with a small capacity card of only 128MB…which will only allow you to shoot approx. 39 images in the best quality. Or only 1 minute of video.
So, you really do need to buy another card with more capacity. I recommend either a 2GB SD card or a 4GB SDHC card.
2GB will allow approx. 626 images or up to 16 minutes of video. 4GB will allow double that.
You will want a fairly fast card. For a digital camera, don’t buy a standard slow speed card (Class 2). The A1100 IS features Canon’s latest Digic IV processor and has large 12MP files, including video….so for optimum performance, a fast card is best….you will need a fast Class 4 card (something like the excellent Sandisk Ultra II) or a Class 6 card at the very least.
p.s. make sure you format any brand new card before you use it the first time. The User Guide shows you how…also format it again whenever you need to delete ALL files from the card. Don’t treat you memory card as a permanent storage device, so don’t make a habit of leaving all your files on the card. Transfer them to your computer as often as you can, then delete them from the card by formatting it.
