Random Access Memory (RAM) is physically connected to the motherboard by way of RAM slots in most cases. In some models of computers in the past (though I have not seen this configuration in well over a decade), the RAM was actually placed on a special card called a daughterboard that was installed in a dedicated (aka proprietary) slot on the motherboard. This was done to reduce the size of the motherboard itself and allow for a smaller footprint on one's desk.
As for the logical "connection" of RAM, it is most commonly associated with the execution of applications, storage of data that is currently being manipulated (such as a Word document that one is currently composing), etc. This saves wear and tear on the mechanical hard drive and allows for faster access than a hard drive can provide. (Hard drive access times being measured in milliseconds while RAM access times are measured in nanoseconds. This equates to RAM being on the order of 1 million times faster.)
If this does not answer your question adequately, feel free to drop me a line and I will be glad to assist further. I am always glad to help.
