RAM: Random Access Memory
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. RAM is a computer’s short-term memory. RAM is used to read and write into memory. RAM stores files and data of programs that are currently being executed by CPU.
It is the main memory of a computer or mobile phones. You can change or erase your data in RAM.
Your computer speed will increase with the increase in the capacity of your RAM.
RAM can be further divided into two classifications:
- Static RAM (SRAM):Static RAM is much faster and more expensive than DRAM. It often functions as cache memory. Information in SRAM is volatile. It stores a bit of data using six transistor memory cell.
- Dynamic RAM (DRAM). Dynamic RAM is slower than Static RAM. It stores a bit of data using a transistor and capacitor pair. As it is less expensive, most computers use DRAM. It is also a volatile memory.
