RAM alowes the computer to load the computer things faster Another answer:

Ram stands for Random Access Memory. A disk loads data into ram. Rather than have the disk return to one spot for the disk drive spot to pick up the next piece of data, the central processing unit can simply go to the RAM and get it. It is not restricted by the speed of a piece of machinery.

Does the OS remain in RAM even if the computer is turn off?

no, nothing remains in ram after your computer is turned off (unless it's static ram but hardly anyone has that anymore) in sleep mode your OS does remain in ram but your computer isn't off in hibernate mode, your computer is off and your OS state is written to the hard drive, so that it can be loaded back into RAM more quickly


What ram is used for give example?

The purpose of RAM is to allow your CPU faster access to programs. If your CPU had to go to the Hard Drive anytime it wanted a program your computer would run very, very slowly. So for example, if you click on Internet Explorer, it is placed in RAM. Your CPU can access data out of RAM very quickly, like 1 million times a second. That's why if you have lots of RAM, then more of the Internet Explorer program can go into RAM, while if you have to little RAM, then your computer is slower because the CPU has to wait while more of the program is loaded into RAM from your hard drive.

What is a RAM stick?

RAM (random access memory). this is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer's processor. RAM is much faster to read from and write to than the other kinds of storage in a computer, the hard disk, floppy disk, and CD-ROM. However, the data in RAM stays there only as long as your computer is running. When you turn the computer off, RAM loses its data. When you turn your computer on again, your operating system and other files are once again loaded into RAM, usually from your hard disk.
