RAM or Random Access Memory is the temporary area that computers use to load and process data, and is limited. Think of it as the area on top of your desk; it can only hold so many papers before it's full. In people, Short Term memory is that part of your brain where you store temporary items, like phone numbers. Most people can hold seven plus-or-minus three items in short-term memory, which is why phone numbers are divided into three-three-and-four digits.
Memory techniques, like mnemonics or visualization, can improve the performance of short-term memory.

1. Calculator has temporary memory & Computer has temporary and permanent memory. 2. Calculator can store short amount at data & Computer can store large amount at data. 3. It can't support Internet & Computer can support Internet. 4. It can't support graphics & Computer can support graphics. 5. Calculator has only math calculation but Computer has all type calculation. Etc
What type of memory is erased when the power goes out?
whenever power is removed all the information which is temporary saved is lost.
What is buffered memory?
Memory modules that utilize temporary storage areas (known as buffers) to help manage the data sent to the memory by the memory controller. Buffers act as current regulators keeping the amount of current flowing to and from the chips at optimal levels. The purpose of this is to allow for more memory chips on modules by keeping the memory from being overloaded by the chipset. It can also be used to allow more modules to be used in the system. Not all systems can use buffered memory; the type of memory required is dependent upon the computer's memory controller. Buffered memory is an older term for registered memory. However, some new large systems use "fully buffered memory". In normal registered/buffered memory only the control lines are buffered, in fully buffered memory the data lines are buffered as well.
