    If you want to support us, then liking the video, writing a small comment, and sharing this video with others on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, or elsewhere help a TON! Doing this will enable us to create much more in-depth content on how computers work!
    Why is it called Dynamic Random Access Memory? Also, why didn't we just call it RAM or just Memory throughout the video? Well, Random Access, means the computer can access any section of data with an equal amount of time before the data is read or written compared to any other section. The opposite is Linear Access Memory, which like a cassette tape. It's 'Dynamic' because the data cells lose charge over time, and thus have to be refreshed multiple times a second. Finally, we didn't call it RAM, because there are many types of RAM. SSDs are technically NVRAM [Non-Volatile RAM] Cache memory in the CPU is SRAM [Static RAM], GPUs use VRAM [Video RAM], which is VERY close in design to DRAM, and additionally there lesser known ones like MRAM [Magnetoresistive RAM] , and many more. Also, why not SDRAM [Synchronous Data RAM]? Because all DDR 1,2,3,4,5 is SD, and non-SDRAM for computers is obsolete by 20ish years- although I'm sure there is non-SD RAM for other applications.
    Also- did you spot that we use a DDR4 motherboard? That's because we had to purchase a motherboard and do a very thorough and destructive teardown, and thus we didn't have funds to splurge on the more expensive DDR5 motherboard.

      Knowing how this stuff works can also be absolutely essential in optimizations. API's are fantastic for fast development and increased overall compatibility across hardware/software configurations, but being familiar with how the bare metal works, at least in theory.

      This is true, today's CS curriculum completely skips computer engineering and this will only victimize CS students. However CE students have the advantage to know CS easily and not be victimized of improper education. CS people only knows logic and good software but do not know how to make their software more useful, efficient, faster, cheaper, creative, and practical using custom hardware or knowing the low level details of computer hardware.

This explains a lot of details that are normally neglected, and it takes only 30 minutes.

      Yep the Bios is loaded first which tells the CPU what channels and address all your hardware is on the motherboard a Bios is a roadmap to the Motherboard for your CPU, than it loads the boot loader and than the operating system that tells the processor the addresses to all directories and programs on your computer so the operating system is a map of the hard drive or SSD and shows your CPU the operating system your directory structure and prints it out in a easy to understand user interface for the end user you.

    Having these visualizations is really helpful for understanding a conceptual model of everything involved here. Different abstractions can fill in detail where needed. As someone who does a fair amount of coding, having an understanding of these components does wonders for my understanding of bottlenecks in a system, and how to optimize for them, such as ensuring writes to disk are done in high enough quantities that it makes sense rather than constantly attempting to write to disk, for example.

OR You quickly feel "lost" at early points during descriptions of this technoidial babblish, meant as Educational, high quality explanations of the basic components, working together, which grant us these powerful machines, that just organize packs of information/data... Maybe you think you've been kicked in the head by a psychotic garbage truck, which not only sent you into ORBIT- But you got a speeding ticket as you passed Mars, which you also couldn't figger.
      OK, so NOW You might be wondering if you possess all the mental acumen, and intelligence of the average "Claw Hammer". Listen Bubba. You got that, Rubba DUCK!? You CAN speak Right? If so, and if you can walk, talk, recognize friends, find yer bum, flush a toilet, or go from waking up, to bedtime, without getting killed by walking into oncoming traffic...? HELLO!
      IF a Clock at home CORRECTLY indicates that the local time is 3:44 PM - You think you would know what time it is? Then YOU have ALREADY learned things over a THOUSAND times more complex than a machine made of nothing but billions of tiny on/off switches. That's about all there is to it. So I'll say this one more time... You just need to LISTEN. As many times as it takes. That means Shut Up. And attend. OK? You got that Bubbalooba? Alright now Get The FFK Outta Here!
