the ram stick is connected to the chip bridge...
the chip bridge is connected to processing thing...
and that's how nerds move porn around - Division, on 10/10/2007, -3/+35I'm assuming there are no comments because all the readers heads have exploded while attempting to read this... It is a Saturday after all..
- Samsong, on 10/10/2007, -3/+32Edited for rednecks:
The memory cache is really, really fast. - ChileanGoD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+25"In this tutorial we will explain how this circuit work in an easy to follow language."...in nine pages.
- renegadeafk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22"This is done thru a program"
Buried - VegasKill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Clearly this is witchcraft.
- EXreaction, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Actually, the bandwidth limit for the SATA 3.0G (sometimes referred to as Sata 300) is 300MBps.
But no hard drive (at least that I have ever heard of) can come even near the bandwidth limit. Most drives that I have seen top out at around 60MBps. - SicSevens, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Is it just me, or is this article very poorly written? I was genuinely interested in it, but the lack of a proofread killed it.
- JoeLeo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Nice job on the print version - thanks for making me have to print out nine pages. What a pain in the ass, but, hey, you got your damn Adsense ads in there.
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Wow. Master of the obvious aren't we?
- Derrekito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I didn't find it very complicated at all.
- theblacknight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Including such phrases as "RAM memory" that made me want to smack him.
- maz2331, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6The 300 is a burst rate if data requested is in the drive's cache. If not, mechanical considerations limit the speed to about 60 MB/s.
- renegadeafk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Did anyone notice he used "Thus" like 50 times per page.
- bradleyland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4We're all really, really impressed. Really.
- cobrapeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Buried for the term "RAM Memory".... I figured he was educated enough to know that the "M" in "RAM" stands for "Memory". He basically went the whole article saying "Random Access Memory Memory". Did this drive anyone else nuts???
- csuzv, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4So... magic then.
- Supadude, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Major in electrical engineering. You have no idea what pain is until you do.
- Derrekito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Versus a thesis paper on cache that is probably longer than the King James version of the bible?
- FelixDrylock, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2is there any RAM memory in the ATM machine?
- smellinator, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2funny, it made me want to run to Automated ATM machine and put in my personal PIN number and send him money as ASAP as possible...
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+2I sort of got put off when I saw "thru" as well.. lots of "thus" and "RAM memory" too. Only read the first page, will read the latter 8 eventually.
- waalter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Don't forget "FedEx Express".
- dacomputerfreak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Exactly my thoughts... I said "damn, too bad only Windows can do that". But seriously, there's probably a few of us here who could explain it to Mom in easier to understand language, with better accuracy. By the way, my Mother prefers Linux because she finds it easier to use. Buried as lame.
- Mimorox, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5More good stuff like this:
http://www.arl.wustl.edu/~lockwood/class/cs306/books/artofasm/Chapter_3/CH03-1.html#top - ps3udov3ctor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3"When you double click an icon on Windows to run a program"... I stopped reading right there.
- Matt2k, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I hate it when people do that. It's an annoying meme. In fact, 'meme' is also an annoying word. God damnit.
- GrendelT, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yeah, "RAM Memory" It's kinda like "IT Tech", "NIC Card" or "CPU Unit".
Honestly, I stopped reading after RAM Memory (and then saw it repeated *at least once* before I closed the page). - 80hd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2My thought exactly. I'm not even sure the any drive can push that much bandwidth even from cache - Yet
- schallis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That reminds me of Microsoft Windows NT boasting "built with NT Technology" in their startup screen, idiots
- wyang, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2This article is wrong in so many ways. Lets start with the fact that cache memories are not constructed from flip-flops but from 6-T cells or some other variant. Buried as inaccurate...
- Boofster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ok that's great but 9 pages....digest please! Attention span ended at about 3/4's of page1
- NerdKing, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Actually the 300 MB/s is right, in Mbps it would be 3,000 Mbps or 3 Gbps:
http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-283-1.htm - arcooke, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Still pretty amazing if you think about what's actually happening in the process.
- loganhid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29 bloody pages - forget it, i don't want to know how it works
- tearor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So,,disable your memory cache,,right??
- whiteboy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1random access memory memory! memory memory memory! memory's a pretty funny word. memory?
- antdude, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3It was too technical for me and I am a computer geek/nerd. However, hardwares are not my areas.
- GrendelT, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1WHY CAN'T I UNDIGG!?
- rythie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The 300Mb/s hard-drive loses him a lot credibility in my eyes and he doesn't explain that is a theoretical limit. He see seems to think that set associative caches are based on the high orders of memory locations (http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/fullimage.php?image=7864) when clearly this doesn't make sense since it would mean for consecutive memory access of quite small amounts would receive cache misses all the time. For a better article see http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/Windows/HTML/MemoryArchitecturea2.html
- ptwob311, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Speaking from the point of view that i do not know much about the internal workings of computers, this article actually taught me a lot. So is every computer able to be made faster?
- MontgomeryScott, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0This article is only specific to Intel. As probably know to most, AMD has a inbuild memory controller, so memory access does not go through the north bridge. Also, with the new AMD Barcelona design everything goes directly to the destination core L1 cache, instead of going through L3/L2 first. http://developer.amd.com/article_print.jsp?id=173
- senoll, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Actually the 300 MB/s
- n0xin, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1it may be poorly edited but i found the explanations to be very comprehensible which is what matters for such a complex subject. reading this article was definitely worth the effort... it is a saturday after all...
- TigerWalk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0I ***** hate "Pages (9): [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ยป " click next, next...Why don't you have PDF format and let your users download the ***** thing...***** idiot!!
- mhmdkhamis, on 12/14/2007, -1/+0wow.... wow. I thought hard drives transfered data at 300Mbps not MB/s since there is a factor of 8 difference between the two.

http://www.paramegsoft.com - PawFox, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1wow freaky.. I needed this for my coursework next week.. Dugg!
