Is their RAM in the CPU?
« on: February 11, 2010, 07:32:19 AM »
I believe there is. However I always think of RAM as those cards we use to expand our system memory.

Probably unbelievable to many of you is this question could be asked on the CPA exam. Just ran across it in one of my manuals. BTW I got it right through elimination. In another question they referred to it as primary memory.

That was pretty confusing but if you refer to the two levels of on-die cache memory found in modern cpu's... then yes.

Understanding the definition of Random Access Memory versus Read Only Memory would have had the answer to you before you posed the question....  :D  :neener:  :bolt:

Someone missed the joke.

"Im going two best buy to by too of there awesome MONSTER hdmi cabuls maybe ill pick up some of they're ram to unless their sold out"
^I'm       ^to                  ^buy two  ^their                                   ^cables      ^I'll                    ^their       ^too        ^they're

All goes all along with Gyrene's "joke" (except maybe I'll/I'm/cables), heck he even referenced the "DVI vrs VGA" thread. :P

Slight hijack here, but since you guys mentioned hdmi cables I have a question.

Ive got an hd tv hooked up to an hd dvr, connected via a really short plain jane hdmi cable. Would I get any noticeable picture quality increase if I use a high end cable, such as monster?

I have limited knowledge here, but from what I understand I would only see a difference if it was a longer cable. Any truth to this?

Depending on the distance there would only be a nominal difference in fidelity thus creating a nominal difference in quality...if you're running 1080p on a 47in+ screen you would notice it more than someone running 780p on a 32in screen.

Thanks for the reply. The tv in question is running 1080p, and its a 70 inch. The cable is really short, just long enough to reach each other without stretching.

Think I will see if I have a buddy with a top end cable to see if there is really any noticable difference, before I buy one.

Depends on what type of application you're talking about curry.

For hidef video it's better than RCA, coax or composite...for computer applications I guess it's a wash.

Yes, but it is no better than DVI from what I understand, IF you use the right type of DVI cable.

HDMI has no better picture quality than DVI.   The only difference is HDMI has audio, which is rarely used in Home Theater.
