memory modules

Memory modules are hardware components inside a computer that temporarily store data the system is using, allowing quick access and efficient processing. Think of them as a computer’s short-term memory, holding information like open files or running programs so the processor can quickly retrieve it. Common types include RAM (Random Access Memory), which impacts how fast the computer runs, and others like SD cards or USB drives for storage. Memory modules are installed on the motherboard and come in different sizes and speeds, directly affecting overall system performance and multitasking capabilities.
