No RAM is not.

Open source products such as memtest86 found here http://www.memtest86.com actually overwrite RAM and then checks it for inconsistencies to see if memory is bad.

How long is information stored on the RAM?

To answer this question adequately, one must understand that information (on "computer chips", such as RAM, anyways) is kept using electrical charges, which are usually held in place by a battery of some sort. RAM does not have a battery, so it can only keep information until you turn off and/or unplug the computer. Also, since RAM is somewhat limited in size, it can only keep information until it is overwritten with new information. So if you do not turn off your computer, the time which it takes for the information on RAM to be overwritten (removed) will depend on A:the time you leave your computer on,B:your operating system (and the amount of background activity associated with it)C:how much stuff you do on your computer in any given time,andD: the amount of RAM you have in your computer.

How does static ram cell differ from a dynamic ram?

Static RAM is the RAM that usually is not part of the main memory, and it tends to be more expensive. When you shut off your computer, static RAM will erase everything from its memory. This kind of RAM can make a good extra for basic computer tasks, but shouldn't be used for things like gaming. Dynamic RAM is the main memory that's moslty found INSIDE your computer. It can store considerably more info that Static RAM. It keeps its data because it's constatly being overwritten. It's also cheaper. Nowadays, people use SDRAM though. It's much more advanced than SRAM or DRAM separately.
