what is ram?

 

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is a type of computer memory that allows data to be accessed quickly in any random order, hence the name "random access." RAM is used by the computer's operating system

and applications to temporarily store data that is being actively used. The more RAM a computer has, the more programs it can run simultaneously without slowing down. RAM is different from storage devices like hard drives or solid-state drives, which are used to store data permanently even when the computer is turned off.
