What is RAM?

In this blog article, we talk about RAM.



Random-access Memory


Random-Access memory (RAM) is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed; it is used to store working data and computer machine code.

In all modern computers random-access memory is present in the form of integrated circuit (IC) chips.


  • RAM is read/write, that means data can be read from and written to.

  • RAM is primary storage that is directly connected to the CPU and holds the data and instructions that are currently in use (temporary).

  • For the CPU to access/process the data and instructions they must first be copied from secondary storage.

  • RAM is volatile, which means the contents of RAM are lost when power is turned off.

  • RAM is very fast working memory, much faster than secondary storage.

    Compared to ROM, RAM has much larger capacity.

  • RAM capacity can be increased; increasing RAM capacity leads to improved computer performance.
