Ram

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a computer's short-term memory, temporarily storing data and programs you're actively using. It allows the processor to quickly access information, facilitating smooth and fast operation. When you open an application or file, it loads into RAM for quick access; when you close it, the data is cleared. More RAM typically means the computer can handle more tasks simultaneously without slowing down. Unlike permanent storage (like a hard drive), RAM is volatile, meaning it loses all data when the computer is turned off. It plays a crucial role in a computer's performance and responsiveness.
