Memory is an electronic storage device, and all electronic storage devices have the potential to incorrectly return information different than what was originally stored. Some technologies are more likely than others to do this. DRAM memory, because of its nature, is likely to return occasional memory errors. DRAM memory stores ones and zeros as charges on small capacitors that must be continually refreshed to ensure that the data is not lost. This is less reliable than the static storage used by SRAMs. There are two kinds of errors that can typically occur in a memory system. The first is...
