How do you run the data on your computer?
Information on a computer is stored in the hard drive. When you turn on your computer it takes information from the hard drive and puts it in the RAM (random access memory).

(That's the short version)

Computer RAM is used only during operation. It's called "volatile memory", meaning that every time the computer is turned off, everything that has been stored on RAM is deleted. Computer disk is a "non volatile" storage medium, meaning that programs and data will (hopefully) be available next time you turn on the computer. RAM is necessary for normal operation of the computer. Programs and data that are essential to the immediate operations of the computer are loaded into RAM as the computer starts and when you start applications. Insufficient RAM may cause the computer to run very slow, if at all. Since nothing is stored on RAM when the computer is turned off, increasing the amount of RAM should not negatively affect any data that is currently stored on your computer.
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.
