| comp., MS | available memory | tilgjengelig minne (Memory that is not allocated to any program) |
| comp., MS | direct memory access | direkte minnetilgang (A technology that allows certain devices, such as hard disks and CD or DVD drives, to transfer information directly through the computer's memory without using the computer's processor. DMA improves the performance of the device and frees the computer's processor so it can perform other tasks) |
| comp., MS | expanded memory | utvidet minne (Type of memory that can be added to IBM personal computers. The use of expanded memory is defined by the Expanded Memory Specification (EMS), which supports memory boards containing RAM that can be enabled or disabled by software) |
| comp., MS | extended memory | utvidet minne (Memory beyond one megabyte in 80286, 80386, 80486, and Pentium computers) |
| comp., MS | flash memory | Flash-minne (A type of nonvolatile memory that is similar to EEPROM memory in function although it must be erased in blocks, whereas EEPROM can be erased one byte at a time. Because of its block-oriented nature, flash memory is commonly used as a supplement to or replacement for hard disks in portable computers. In this context, flash memory either is built into the unit or, more commonly, is available as a PC Card that can be plugged into a PCMCIA slot. A disadvantage of the block-oriented nature of flash memory is that it cannot be practically used as main memory (RAM) because a computer needs to be able to write to memory in single-byte increments) |
| comp., MS | flash memory card | flash-minnekort (A device used by many digital cameras to store pictures and video. Flash memory cards store computer information such as text, pictures, and music, and can be copied, erased, and used many times) |
| comp., MS | graphics memory | skjermminne (A type of memory used by video cards to store information that will be displayed on a monitor. The amount of video memory dictates the maximum resolution and color depth available for the display) |
| comp., MS | in-memory metabase | minneintern metabase (An image of the Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase that has been loaded from disk into the computer's random access memory (RAM) and is used while IIS is running) |
| comp., MS | low memory problem | problem med lite ledig minne (A difficulty in computer operation caused by insufficient memory resources) |
| comp., MS | main memory | hovedminne (The amount of memory physically installed on your device (as opposed to on a storage card)) |
| comp., MS | memory address | minneadresse (A portion of computer memory that can be allocated to a device or used by a program or the operating system. Devices are usually allocated a range of memory addresses) |
| comp., MS | memory card | minnekort (In a server cluster, a resource that can act as the cluster's quorum resource. To be quorum-capable, a resource must provide shared storage and a means of persistent arbitration. The cluster service defines only physical disk resources as quorum-capable) |
| comp., MS | memory leak | minnelekkasje (A condition that occurs when an application allocates memory for use but does not free allocated memory when finished) |
| comp., MS | memory pressure | minnebehov (The demand placed on the memory subsystem by an application) |
| gen. | memory stick | minnekort |
| comp., MS | Memory Usage | bruk av minne (In Task Manager, the current working set of a process, in kilobytes. The current working set is the number of pages currently resident in memory) |
| comp., MS | Memory Usage Delta | delta for bruk av minne (In Task Manager, the change in memory, in kilobytes, used since the last update) |
| comp., MS | non-uniform memory access | ikke-ensartet minnetilgang (Access by a CPU of local as well as foreign memory. This process, which is enabled by NUMA architecture, results in different access speeds) |
| comp., MS | Peak Memory Usage | topp for bruk av minne (In Task Manager, the peak amount of physical memory resident in a process since it started) |
| comp., MS | physical memory | fysisk minne (The amount of RAM memory in a system, as distinguished from virtual memory) |
| comp., MS | random access memory | Random Access Memory (The temporary storage area the computer uses to run programs and store data. Information stored in RAM is temporary and is designed to be erased when the computer is turned off) |
| comp., MS | random access memory cache | RAM-bufferminne (Cache memory that is used by the system to store and retrieve data from the RAM. Frequently accessed segments of data may be stored in the cache for quicker access compared with secondary storage devices such as disks) |
| comp., MS | read-only memory | skrivebeskyttet minne (A semiconductor circuit that contains information that cannot be modified) |
| comp., MS | Remote Direct Memory Access | direkte minnetilgang via fjerntilkobling (A networking feature that lets one computer directly place information into the memory of another computer) |
| comp., MS | scatter/gather direct memory access | spre/samle-DMA (A form of direct memory access (DMA) in which data is transferred to and from noncontiguous ranges of physical memory) |
| comp., MS | storage memory | lagringsminne (Memory that is similar to a RAM disk on a desktop computer. It is used to store data and nonsystem applications) |
| comp., MS | video memory | skjermminne (A type of memory used by video cards to store information that will be displayed on a monitor. The amount of video memory dictates the maximum resolution and color depth available for the display) |
| comp., MS | virtual memory | virtuelt minne (Temporary storage used by a computer to run programs that need more memory than is physically installed on the computer) |
| comp., MS | Virtual Memory Size | størrelse på virtuelt minne (In Task Manager, the amount of virtual memory, or address space, committed to a process) |
| comp., MS | virtual printer memory | virtuelt skriverminne (In a PostScript printer, a part of memory that stores font information. The memory in PostScript printers is divided into two areas: banded memory and virtual memory. The banded memory contains graphics and page-layout information needed to print your documents. The virtual memory contains any font information that is sent to your printer either when you print a document or when you download fonts) |
| comp., MS | Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool | Windows Diagnoseverktøy for minne (A feature of Windows Vista that can automatically detect and resolve problems caused by defective physical memory. If the diagnostics module identifies a memory problem, Windows Vista can avoid using the affected portion of physical memory, enabling the operating system to start successfully and avoid application crashes) |
| comp., MS | Windows Memory Tester | Windows Minnetester (A Boot Configuration Data (BCD) application object) |
