Notes

Random Access Memory is a volatile memory which stores data temporarily for use. RAM is fast in accessing and processing data because it stores data in a non-sequential format. Having large RAM size equips the computer to run sophisticated software and programs that require high processing power. Examples of such are video editing, 3D rendering and gaming.



RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer hardware that is used to store the information and then process that information. The processing speed of RAM is much faster than a hard disk but Ram is a volatile device which means when a computer system is shut down all the information stored is wiped out from RAM whereas hard disk is non-volatile which means it stores the data permanently in it. The data can be easily stored in RAM and can be easily fetched from RAM. The fetch process of data is very fast in Ram compare to hard disk. There are two types of RAM SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) and DRAM (Dynamic random access memory). The use of SRAM is in a cache memory of CPU. And the DRAM is mostly used in modern computers.
