1.2 Memory
  1. MAR (MEMORY ADDRESS REGISTER)
    1. Stores the address from which data will be fetched to the CPU OR the address top which data will be sent and stored.
      1. Found in the CPU and goes to either RAM or Cache
        1. MDR (MEMORY DATA REGISTER)
          1. The control unit that contains the data to be stored in the computers storage.
            1. Can also contain data after a fetch from the computers storage
              1. The difference in MAR and MDR is that MAR is only temporary storage and MDR is read only.
              2. ACCUMULATOR
                1. Where intermediate arithmetic logic results are stored
                2. SOLID STATE
                  1. Solid-state storage is a type of computer storage media made from silicon microchips. SSS stores data electronically instead of magnetically, as spinning hard disk drives or magnetic oxide tape do.
                  2. CACHE
                    1. Cache is a small amount of memory which is a part of the CPU - closer to the CPU than RAM. It is used to temporarily hold instructions and data that the CPU is likely to reuse.
                    2. FLASH MEMORY
                      1. A kind of memory that retains data in the absence of a power supply.
                      2. VIRTUAL MEMORY
                        1. memory that appears to exist as main storage although most of it is supported by data held in secondary storage, transfer between the two being made automatically as required.
                        2. ROM (READ ONLY MEMORY)
                          1. ROM is memory that cannot be changed by a program or user. ROM retains its memory even after the computer is turned off. For example, ROM stores the instructions for the computer to start up when it is turned on again..
                          2. REGISTERS
                            1. A processor register (CPU register) is one of a small set of data holding places that are part of the computer processor. A register may hold an instruction, a storage address, or any kind of data (such as a bit sequence or individual characters). Some instructions specify registers as part of the instruction.
                            2. RAM
                              1. RAM is a fast temporary type of memory in which programs, applications and data are stored. If a computer loses power, all data stored in its RAM is lost.
