Which problem occurs when software applications continuously allocate memory space in RAM but fail to release it back to the operating system after finishing their tasks?
Explanation:
A memory leak happens when a program allocates memory space from the system heap but fails to free it up after use, reducing available RAM until the system slows down or crashes.
What hardware feature on an internal motherboard controls the synchronization and flow of data commands arriving from the system RAM to the processor cores?
Explanation:
The memory controller (either standalone on the chipset or integrated directly inside modern CPU dies) manages the electrical signals and data timing for reading and writing to system RAM.
Explanation:
Virtual memory enables a computer to use more memory than is physically installed by swapping data between RAM and secondary storage (like a hard disk), allowing large programs to run.
