resonator. n. 1. (Electronics) any body or system that displays resonance, esp a tuned electrical circuit or a conducting cavity in which microwaves are generated by a resonant current.. resonator-a hollow chamber whose dimensions allow the resonant oscillation of electromagnetic or acoustic waves. cavity resonator, resonating chamber. chamber-a natural or artificial enclosed space. soundbox, body-a resonating chamber in a musical instrument (as the body of a violin).
The other method of classifying the modules is by their bandwidth rating in megabytes per second. 1600MHz memory can run at a theoretically speed of 12.8 gigabytes per second or 12,800 megabytes per second.
Countless of times I've heard and read that RAM-memory can have different speeds-denoted as MHz (e.g. 1066 MHz). However, what this frequency really is has never been explained to me and I'm having trouble finding an answer.
