RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It
is also called the main memory or direct Access Memory, Random Access means
that each individual byte in the whole memory is directly accessible. A
program loads into RAM before execution. When the Power is turned off, the data
during this memory is lost, so it's referred to as volatile memory. CPU will scan
information from RAM and write information to RAM. CPU read data from RAM
and writes data to RAM. That’s why RAM is also known as read/write memory. It
is used to store data and instruction while it is being executed. RAM plays
very significant role in the processing speed of a computer. A big Ram size
provides larger amount of space for processing. So processing speed is
increased. The amount of data that can be stored in RAM is measured in bytes. Most
desktop computers have 1GB and allow the addition of more if necessary.
