What is computer RAM memory?
Memory is the most important factor in computer performance. Memory or RAM stands for Random Access Memory. As the computer functions, the processor transfers data from the computer’s hard drive to the computer’s memory for immediate use. Memory provides space for a computer to temporarily store, read and write information for quick access by the computer’s processor. Memory is “random access” meaning any storage location can be accessed directly, which makes it faster than accessing information from the hard drive. Having more RAM in your computer reduces the number of times the processor has to retrieve data from the hard drive, which in turn substantially increases computer performance.
