You never hear people talking about “memory banks” now, when referring to their computer’s random access memory storage capabilities.
It’s always “RAM” this, or “SDRAM” that. Never “memory banks”.
I think using the word “memory banks” makes your computer seem much larger than life and more mysterious than something like “Single In-line Memory Module”.
As a challenge, I’d like you to use the phrase “memory banks” all of next week when referring to your computer.
