RAM (architecture)

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that temporarily stores data and programs currently in use. Its architecture allows the computer’s processor to quickly read and write information, enabling smooth operation and multitasking. RAM is volatile, meaning it loses data when the power is off. It is organized in a grid of cells, with addresses that allow rapid access to specific data. The more RAM a system has, the more applications it can handle simultaneously, improving performance and responsiveness during active tasks.
