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.
The speed of the clock is measured in Megahertz (MHz). Well, the frequency is essentially how fast something processes in a computer. In this case(memory), it determines how fast information is going to go to your memory and back. DDR, DDR2, DDR3 memories follow the DDRxxx/PCyyyy classification.
