What memories are used to store variable quantities or dates?
That all depends on the circumstances. While an application is running, variable data is stored in a section of computer memory dedicated to active processing. Because this memory is shared among all active programs, this is one reason why programs can run slower the more that are running at the same time and can occasionally result in the dreaded 'out of memory' crash is it's all used up. Between runs, variable data is stored in files on the computer hard drive, cloud storage, thumb drives and other similar long-term storage devices.

Do you get all your ram back if you restart your Computer?
Your RAM does not go anywhere, but is only used by programs. As you close programs, the ram the programs was using becomes available again. If your computer is running slow, try cutting off or uninstalling unneeded programs. The more you have running at any given time the slower your computer will be. If the programs that use up all your ram are on your startup list go to < Start - All Programs - Startup > and remove the programs that you do not want starting with windows. They will still be on your computer so if your have no need of them at all, uninstall them to help increase speed.
