Just kind of curious, I was planning to get a 4GB GTX 680, to load up Skyrim texture mods, as my 1.5GB GTX 580 doesn't cut it. So I got to wondering if there was any limitation regarding video memory ...

The total memory (RAM) that can be added to a computer depends on the size of the address registers built into the CPU. For example, most 32-bit CPUs have a 32-bit address register that can access 4GB ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

How would we handle metastability in our 4-bit computer if we were to implement it as a microcontroller chip, a single-board computer, or a cabinet-based system? Now, after laying all of this ...

The registers inside the CPU, the machine code instruction set, and the ways in which the instructions interact with the registers and status flags are all intertwined. As you may recall, one of my ...

Getting into a big electronics project often involves the use of specialized tools, namely the use of some sort of soldering iron or other way to apply solder to often intricate, tiny, and ...

Remember the GeForce GTX 280? The "GT200" GPU was a gigantic beast that maxed out the limits of the "Tesla" design it was based on. It boasted 32 ROPs and something almost unseen in graphics cards ...

The current generation of Nvidia graphics cards, the Ada Lovelace (RTX 40-series), are quite interesting in the way the tech media has received it. On one hand, while the higher-end models like the ...

Lam Research Corporation is a $17 billion wafer-fabrication equipment maker. They are simulating and designing next generation computer memory. Its products are used primarily in front-end wafer ...
