In computing, the x86 memory models are a set of six different memory models of the x86 CPU operating in real mode which control how the segment registers...

magnetic-core memory is a form of random-access memory. It predominated for roughly 20 years between 1955 and 1975, and is often just called core memory, or, informally...
