What I know about RAM is that it's the memory you use when you open programs and do stuff with your PC. So when you run out of RAM, your computer stops working, and you need to restart it.

The amount of RAM you have determines how many programs you can have open at one time. The more programs you have open the more ram you are using.

It serves as temporary storage. Your computer uses it to store instructions and data for processing. The more you have, the more it can store and process.

RAM is the memory that the computer uses to store the data it is currently working with. When you install programs, they are placed onto the hard disk, which can usually store tens or (or even hundreds) of Gigabytes.

I hope that helps!

RAM is a form of integrated circuits that allows the stored data to be accessed in any order . That is the reason why it is being pronounced as random. The data retrieval time varies depending on the physical location of the next item in the RAM. RAM size is always used as a speedometer to find the speed of the PC.

That's simple. RAM is used for memory storage by your computer, temporarily that is. Also, its the current usage of your memory whatever it is that you're doing.

Ram is needed to store temporary data to be fed to the CPU. It needs these files to be easily accessed as it is faster than the HDD.

Ram helps to put applications' data in a fast lane. If you run out of ram, your OS will start using your HDD but it will be excruciatingly slow.
