RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (ram)
- RAM is installed inside computers. RAM is also known as a working memory.
- The data in RAM can be read (retrieved) or written (stored).
- RAM is volatile which means the programs and data in RAM are lost when the computer is powered off.
- A computer uses RAM to hold temporary instructions and data needed to complete tasks. This enables the computer's CPU (Central Processing Unit) to access instructions and data stored in the memory very quickly.
- RAM stores data during and after processing.
