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.
Once you have the memory part number, you can download specifications from the memory manufactures website. In the description of our example memory we can see that this memory has a tested and published speed of 2133. The standard speed which the BIOS will detect from reading the memory module is 1333. In the example below, the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) programmed speed is 1333.
