RAM
Random
Access Memory: This is reusable computer memory, available to all
programs on a computer. A computer with 32M of RAM has about 32
million bytes of memory that programs can use. RAM is read/write
memory, as opposed to ROM which is read-only
memory.
RealPlayer
Client
software that plays audio and video media. Providers of news,
entertainment, sports, and business content can create audio and
video multimedia content, and deliver it online to audiences
worldwide. To create your own RealPlayer files and offer them on
your Web site, your hosting service must install special
"extensions" for your account.
Resolution (Screen or Monitor)
The way things appear on your computer monitor.
Resolution is measured in pixels.
The lower the resolution, the larger things appear on your screen.
Most computer monitors are set at 800 x 600 resolution, meaning 800
pixels wide by 600 pixels high. Some people's monitors are set at
1024 x 768 or higher. Others are set at 640 x 480. When designing a
Web site, keep in mind that your Web pages will look different to
viewers depending on their monitor resolutions.
ROM
Read-Only
Memory: This is a computer's unchangeable memory. It's used to store
programs that start the computer and run diagnostic functions.
