Mano (1991) has a nice explanation of RAM. Stallings (2000) also gives a very good explanation of RAM. Hamacher, Vranesic, and Zaky (2002) contains an extensive discussion of cache. For good coverage of virtual memory, see Stallings (2001), Tanenbaum (1999), or Tanenbaum and Woodhull (1997). For more information on memory management in general, check out the Flynn and McHoes (1991), Stallings (2001), Tanenbaum and Woodhull (1997), or Silberschatz, Galvin, and Gagne (2001) books. Hennessy and Patterson (1996) discuss issues involved with determining cache performance. For an online tutorial on memory technologies, see http://www.kingston.com/tools/umg/umg06.asp. George Mason University also has a set of workbenches on various computer topics. The workbench for virtual memory is located at cne.gmu.edu/workbenches/vmsim/vmsim.html.
