we had an old dutch technology show on tv in the 80's called "wondere wereld" where an astromomer explained new things in computer technology in an accesible way, which this show reminds me a bit of in the way things are presented. although he (Chriet titulaer) guy covered a much wider array of technology, i really miss that kind of of stuff these days in the way it is covered, especially the excitement the man had for these new things, you could just feel it, and it rubbed off positively on others. sadly that man died last year, he was a real staple to bringing awareness of technological innovation to the public in an understandable and exciting way, some even found it necessary to taint his death with anti-corporate politics surrounding his tight connections with philips. i guess doens't mean much to others since all his work is in dutch, but just reminiscing about cool tech shows. but i seem to have a preference towards british youtubers as they're usually telling it without overselling it, it just feels more natural and personal that way. (i think europeans on average tend to talk a lot about technical details, which is more likely to teach you something in the process) i could could totally see this being something on tv, although who still has airplay time for sincere informational stuff on the tele these days?... :(

I think an extended cut video (or part 2) about all those mentioned at 10:00 including GDDR RAM would be great for the sake of completeness.

Very clearly explained......as always

Where I worked, we had a computer that used core (non-volatile) memory. I remember the circuit boards - they were maybe 18 x 18 inches. This computer was used to weld truck cabs at a GM truck plant in lots of stages, all running simultaneously. The computer was only 8K but took up a huge area. Two large mobile homes were put together to house it, the I/O being the reason for the size. For keyboards, we had maybe nine radio teletype machines (RTTY) and they were always on the fritz. To start this whole thing, you would pull a 'boot strap' through a reader. It was a ticker tape type of affair about six inches long and one inch wide with holes punched in it and it had to be pulled because the drive motor was shot. The curious thing about this was that it could do more than one thing at a time. This was before the Amiga and Apple ever even thought about time slicing. This is nothing now, but back then, that was a big deal. I know it could do more that one thing at a time because I ran some programs that I had written in basic while it was welding up truck cabs. Oh, and there were no monitors or CRT screens. Any visible output was on paper rolls e.g. my basic program(s). This was in the 70s & 80s.

As a computer engineering major, Learning about computer technology outside of school is far more interesting. I'm glad I stumbled upon this channel while aimlessly wondering the depths of the internet instead of working on a lab.

Excellent video on RAM. Once again your presentation reminded me of the lectures I used give at the university for department's computer literacy class. The only key difference is that the lecture started with measuring RAM in kilobytes. The presentation bring back fond memories of building my first PC in 1989 - carefully plugging in those individual RAM ICs, hopefully not bending any of the legs in the process. I also fondly remember attending computer shows where vendors would sell motherboards, RAM and other components so hobbyist could build their PC compatibles and buying SIPs for helping a friend build his first PC compatible computer. Thanks again for a wonderful video, and always keep up the good work!

What a wonderful explanation, if someone ever asks me to explain ram, I’ll send them this video. You did a remarkable job sir.

I am a filmmaker in my early 20's, just starting out in my career. I am building two new computers for my studio this week, and I wanted to learn everything I need to know about computer components before I start the process. I've had so many questions for years that I have tried searching the answers for again and again. And you've cleared up half of them within about 30 minutes! For instance: RAM frequency. Never understood what it was, now I do. Thank you! At first, I judged your style because it isn't sleek and modern, but I was wrong. Your videos are wonderful.

Very informative and decently explained. There's no other video which explains RAM so efficiently.

In the 1980's I was a young US Navy technician working on older fighter jets left over from the 1960's but still in service.

Again a very informative video with densely packed information that is supplied easily understandable! I love your work! I hope you will do a video with a deep-dive into RAM timings because I still wonder if I am able to further overclock my RAM. Also, there is even Quad-Channel RAM, which is also really interesting and much harder to keep it stable when overclocking, which is important to me. I am currently running a Threadripper 1950X at 4 GHz overclocked and 32 GByte of 3200MT/s DDR4 Tcl 14 G.Skill RAM in Quad-Channel mode (Module spec).

My very first time opening up a PC case and working on it in any way was with my Dell that I had paid over $2,000 USD for. I don't remember the exact specs, except that it had a Pentium III, 800 MHz chip in it and it still had a 3.25" floppy drive. All I did was double the memory in it by adding a second stick. I do remember that it had 128 MB of PC133 SDRAM to start. That would have been back in the year 2000 and was enough to peak my curiosity of how these things worked. I've been learning about and working on them in some way ever since then and today I even own a small IT business in El Paso, Texas, USA. Keep up the great work on these videos. I am currently watching your Ryzen Budget PC Build #1 video and jumped back here for a minute.

Thank you for another entertaining video, EC. Just an interesting footnote to add here, core memories (at least as far as I have it) are actually non-volatile. When the power is switched off the core "doughnuts" still remain in their last programmed position and remain so until power is again restored. I believe it was even used on some of the American space shuttles.

From 1998 until 2000, I worked at a PCB factory that used the following: One of the first transistor based compouters built in 1973, which had a whooping 32 KBs of magnetic core RAM (Used for controlling a CNC drill). Data input for this computer was done by paper tape but... ... we also used an XT-8088 PC with a custom designed interface for the aforementioned 1973 computer to allow uploads of files from 5.25 inch floppies. It also had an amazing 10 Megabyte MFM hard drive for the OS. The magnetic core RAM was especially interesting as it was also non-volatile, so programs would remain in memory even if the power was turned off and modules removed. Good times...

I recall teaching my "data processing" students how core memory worked. The X and Y address lines, the sense wire, the hysteresis loop, etc. When IC RAM came along how it worked was no longer in the text books. Apparently the authors decided we did not need to know or maybe they did not know how it worked. But old terms do not go away very fast. 50 years later memory dumps as still called "Core" dumps by lots of folks. Linux still has core man page and the memory dump file is named "core".

Well that was spooky, firstly you talking about the Elliott 803 Core Store (no relation though) :) And secondly I ordered and fitted some extra RAM on Friday. So the video was a bit late for me, luckily I bought the correct RAM type and speed. Some great info as usual Chris.

Gday Chris, I am going to go out on a lim here and ask u to make a follow up video about ram, more specifically using as a ramdrive and loading the windows pagefile sys onto it when it boots up and b4 shutdown it saves the pagefile back to the hard drive or sd card/usb stick. The reason is to help resurrect older pc's and give them a second life, storage being an issue due to the old size limitations and running various windows which max out the drive space and not leaving enough for an operating pagefile which can run from excess ram installed. Trying to find such info has proven very illusive and ur the master of pc's from their emergence in our world of tech. I really enjoy ur process of explaining things and no matter what what I thought I knew is not all there is to know and u add to the education of what i missed when I learnt about pc's.

Perhaps you could do a rundown of the history of logic and more specifically delve into the early history of PLDs. The early PAL/GAL/HAL and CPLD evolution seem to be technologies that fall into the pre-internet age gap. They don't have the nostalgia staying power of earlier vintage computers and they lack the documentation available for tech that became mainstream during the late 90's onwards.

For the next time going in-depth on timings would be interesting. For Ryzen it is rather important to sharpen the timings as much as possible because in essence you use two CPU's on one package. When data has to go from the cache on one CCX to the other you have extra latency, the sharper the timings and the higher the speed the less that latency.

Super presentation

Nicely explained video. But, you overlooked explaining why there are so many more connections (pins) on the DIMM versus the SIMM. ie. That the original 30 pin SIMM was only an 8 bit memory module (or 9 bit with parity), with 72 pin SIMM moving to 32 bits. The DIMM then being a 64 bit memory module. In addition, each generation having more address lines (the 30 pin SIMM maxing out at 16MB). Memory modules didn’t really came about to solve “chip creep”, as you suggest. It was simply that the 1 bit wide DRAM’s chips of the time (eg. 41256 chips - 256K x 1 DRAM, following on from earlier 4116 / 4164 DRAM etc.) always required identical system PCB layout of 8 parallel wired chips, with each chip delivering 1 bit of the required byte from each address. Therefore, putting 8 chips onto a byte-wide SIP or SIMM was simply a logical "common memory layout" design convenience evolution. :)

Ultimately, any video like this is far more an issue of what to leave out as much as what to leave in. Some early drafts of the script her ran over 40 minutes, nd ultimately whatever I included or did not include here I could not please everybody.The purpose of the intro (history) sections was to provide context and engagement with content less dry than the tech/specs that follow.

High end motherboards have supported triple and even quad channel memory for some years now (since i7 LGA 1366), I guess it hasn't become mainstream because you need more memory & memory sockets which costs more. Since memory gets faster anyway the speed advantage is soon eroded. Memory latency is an issue worth mentioning, it gets worse with each generation such that the first modules of each generarion are often slower for random access than the last modules of the previous generation. Q: do DRAM cells fail individually like SSDs? Can memory controllers map out bad RAM?

Cool video. Fun Fact: Before RAM was reliable in a portable platform the USAF used a very long piece of coiled wire to "store" bits of data for the F-86's fire control system. Due to the limits of the speed of light the pulses would be delayed before emerging on the other end and be used to calculate bullet trajectories. The fighter was used during the Korean War over the same country where two of the three big RAM manufacturers are located: Samsung, SK Hynix, and (Micron in the US).
