I am new in the computer world. I am started to use computer before one month. I hear that RAM is the important part of the computer. But I am unaware of the RAM. Please could you tell me what is RAM. Please friends provide information about RAM.

RAM is Random Access Memory. Recent types of DRAM are unable to random access due to DRAM data is read in fracture. Several types of SRAM, ROM, OTP, and NOR flash are random access. Mostly all type of ROM and type of flash memory called NOR-FLASH. NOR-FLASH is type of non-volatile memory. RAM is a type of Computer Data storage

RAM is frequently linked by volatile types of memory. DRAM memory modules is the example of volatile memory, where its stored data is lost if the power supply is unplugged. In 1951 the RAM module was introduced that was the first module and was sold in between 1960s to 1970s.

RAM can use the storage data in any sort but other memory devices are unable to use storage data any sort. They are able to access the storage data only in a determined order, due to limitations of mechanical design. Magnetic tapes, disks are the example of this limitation.

There are main types of RAM:-
• SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)
• DDR (Double Data Rate SDRAM)
• Rambus DRAM (RDRAM)

RAM is fundamentally a short term memory of computer. Ram stores the data which is required by the program during execution of that program. This data is momentary stores in the ram. RAM runs at very high speed compare to the speed of hard disc since the ram is used maximum time. The Computers speed is mostly depend on the size and speed of RAM. RAM plays important role to increase the speed of computer than the CPU.

RAM runs at a very high speed compare to hard disc but we cannot be used to store data for long term. However when the computer is switch of the data which is stored in RAM is lost. RAM stores DATA/ information temporary.

One can read and over-write data in RAM.
When any program is start then the information/data related to that program is stores in RAM. And when that program is terminated or after completion or when closed that information/data is releases from the RAM memory and this space is provided for any other program which is ready for execution RAM also serves working space for the operating system and its applications.
