What is RAM and Why Your Computer Needs It

Matthew from Computer Help NZ

RAM, which stands for Random Access Memory, is a type of computer memory that is used to store data that is currently being used by the computer's operating system, applications, and processes. It is a volatile memory, meaning that its contents are lost when the computer is powered off or restarted.

RAM plays a crucial role in the overall performance of all computer types – laptop, desktop, all-in-one. When you open a program or file, the data is loaded from the storage device (such as a hard drive or solid-state drive) into the RAM for quick access by the processor. The processor can read and write data to and from the RAM much faster than it can access data from the storage device, which helps to speed up the overall operation of the computer.
