It's so called random access memory. RAM is by itself a type of memory. Ram is a type of memory architecture that allows data to be stored temporarily as long as an electric current is supplied. As soon as power is lost, the content of the memory module is lost.
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the primary (yet temporary) processing space where all the application software and results from any data processing is stored until you either print, save or otherwise output it to some more permanent media (like paper or a CD.)
It is temporary because typically no battery backup function is available, by which to save any stored applications and their associated data should the computer lose power. (There are RAM chips available for military applications which do not suffer from this; however they are very expensive and have limited I/O capability (IE, they have a very short life expectancy and would not be usable in any business or home use environment.))
I think the link, in related links below, has pretty good information for you.
ram is random acess memory and is wiped each time the computer is turned off. a typical home computer has 2 gb of ram. a hard drive is the memory that does not get wiped when the computer is turned off. a typical computer should have atleast a 300 gb hard drive.
RAM (Random-Access-Memory) is the memory used to run most of the computer's processes. What the RAM does is when a program saves information, the info is temporarily stored on the RAM and it is transferred to the hard drive in the background. This speeds up the computer because without RAM the operating system of the computer would have to pause every couple of seconds to save information to the hard drive, not to mention programs like Video Games.
Ram memory stands for Random Access Memory.
Computer chips come with two types of internal memory, Ram and rom. Rom is Read Only Memory and Ram is Random Access Memory.
Rom memory is installed in the factory and is not changed. Ram can be changed constantly. Ram can contain information typed into the computer, downloaded by the internet, or resulting from actions within the computer.
Random-access memory (RAM) is a type of volatile memory. This means that the information is lost when the power is switched off.

Random Access Memory (RAM) is a volatile memory. Once the computer is switched off, the RAM memory is automatically cleared.
RAM (random access memory) is a type of removable storage. A hard drive, on the other hand, is stationary storage.
By "main memory" I assume you mean Primary Storage. This would be your RAM (Randon Access Memory)
ram is primary storage
its computer memory

The primary means of storage of a computer is the RAM memory which is a volatile memory.
Temporary storage is usually referring to RAM -- Random Access Memory. Data stored in RAM only exists while the computer has power (nothing is saved).
RAM is the abbreviation for Random Access Memory.
RAM (Random Accessed Memory) is "temporary" storage. It is temporary because the type we use in desktops PC's is called, volatile. This means, when power is lost, so is all data stored in memory.
No. RAM is "volatile" memory which means when you turn off the computer it loses the information. a Hard Drive is the device that stores your documents and files and retains this information even when the power is turned off. RAM is much faster than a hard drive and it used by the computer as temporary memory that it works to/from.
