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.
