| memoria disponible | available memory (Memory that is not allocated to any program) |
| memoria EEPROM | electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (A type of EPROM that can be erased with an electrical signal. It is useful for stable storage for long periods without electricity while still allowing reprogramming. EEPROMs contain less memory than RAM, take longer to reprogram, and can be reprogrammed only a limited number of times before wearing out) |
| memoria expandida | expanded memory (Type of memory that can be added to IBM personal computers. The use of expanded memory is defined by the Expanded Memory Specification (EMS), which supports memory boards containing RAM that can be enabled or disabled by software) |
| memoria extendida | extended memory (Memory beyond one megabyte in 80286, 80386, 80486, and Pentium computers) |
| memoria física | physical memory (The amount of RAM memory in a system, as distinguished from virtual memory) |
| memoria no paginada | nonpaged memory (Memory that cannot be paged to disk) |

| memoria principal | main memory (The amount of memory physically installed on your device (as opposed to on a storage card)) |
| memoria reprogramable de solo lectura | reprogrammable read-only memory (A nonvolatile memory chip that is programmed after it is manufactured) |
| memoria virtual | virtual memory (Temporary storage used by a computer to run programs that need more memory than is physically installed on the computer) |
| memoria virtual de la impresora | virtual printer memory (In a PostScript printer, a part of memory that stores font information. The memory in PostScript printers is divided into two areas: banded memory and virtual memory. The banded memory contains graphics and page-layout information needed to print your documents. The virtual memory contains any font information that is sent to your printer either when you print a document or when you download fonts) |
| metabase en memoria | in-memory metabase (An image of the Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase that has been loaded from disk into the computer's random access memory (RAM) and is used while IIS is running) |
