The hard drive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It puts fragmented files on the drive back together in an orderly way so that the HDD can read them faster. In other words your files and programs open smoothly without lags and the startup is faster than on a fragmented drive.

What computer compacity do I need for 500 MB of hard disk space would a 8 Gb 750 ram be big enough?
I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean 8 gigabyte Hard disk, yes, that's sufficient. If you mean 8.75 RAM, maybe. RAM and Hard disk are different things. RAM is memory that is volatile - it's deleted when you switch your computer off. The hard disk is non-volatile: It stays there forever, until you delete it.
What is R A M in coumputer science?
RAM is "random access memory", often simply called "memory". It is basically where running programs and the data they need are stored. RAM is faster to access than hard disk space, but it is volatile - if the computer is turned off, the contents of RAM are lost. If you "run" a program, it is first copied from the hard disk to RAM. If you open a Word document, it is also copied from the hard disk to RAM. Any changes you do are done in RAM. If you "save" the document, it is copied back to the hard disk (for long-term storage).
Why ram is expensive then hard disk?
This is not true. RAM can be quite cheap, it all depends on the make of the RAM and type (DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 etc).
