Talk:Memory geometry

Cleanup observations[edit]

Excess linking of common terms
Eccentric capitalization; no need to capitalize inside square brackets.
Second person address - rewrite to eliminate "how to" tone
Generally shaky style; too much discussion of confusion. We can presume the reader comes here to become less confused. Rather pompous, too, in an article that can't even spell "physical"
Spelling, grammar, etc.
No footnotes. A list of references, but no indication of how they back up the statements in the text.

Possibly salvageable. I can fix the English, but I'm not a subject matter expert. I'd put that tag on too, if I thought it would have any benefit. --Wtshymanski (talk) 15:16, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

what is meant by ECC ?[edit]

"feature ECC"

The wikilink to ECC leads to a disambiguation page. But, which term is applicable?

Unclear calculations in explanations.[edit]

The paragraph on Kinfston's example DRaM chip (128x16) states that the organization into 4 ranks follows fromthe previously given I configuration parameters. I was unable to derive it. Could the author or agreeing reviewer please clarify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.228.216.155 (talk) 04:23, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe rank width is based on the type of ram. SIMMs have a rank width of 32 bits, double simms, dimms, have a rank width of 64 bits. Memory rank TeeTylerToe (talk) 18:55, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What are channels?[edit]

It is unclear as to what channels are. The article says -
Channels are the highest level structure at the local memory controller level. Modern computers can have two, three or even more channels. It is usually important that, for each module in any one channel, there is a logically identical module in the same location on each of the other populated channels.

None of these actually tells what channels are. Request a subject matter expert to please elaborate on what channels really are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitinpuranik (talk • contribs) 17:29, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Logical features[edit]

The initial paragraph is strange in this context and it is unclear what it has to do with the logical features.84.55.110.220 (talk) 08:39, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Memory interface?[edit]

When reading this article I was hoping to get information on what a memory look like from the Motherboards perspective. Perhaps it is in the article and I failed to understand it.

I think it would be great if it could be clearly specified what the different memory interface standards are and if there is a way of knowing what interface a Motherboard support and what interface a memory module implements.

In "my world", as a software developer, there is an address buss and a data bus. You put an address on the address bus and then you can read/write data at that address. It would be interesting to see how this memory access interface (address-/data-buss) relates to memory modules, ranks, channels and other memory architecture.

I think it would be good if the article could help people understand memory in such a way that it makes it easier for them to know what memory to buy for their computer. What is important and what doesn't really matter.84.55.110.220 (talk) 08:50, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
