When someone is referring to memory they are usually referring to the computer's RAM. RAM is an Acronym for Random Access Memory. Memory is what the computer uses to run programs and other things on the Computer. When a Program runs it uses the computer's RAM to store files it needs while it runs, but does not need when it's not running, hence the name Random Access Memory.
Every Computer needs RAM to run because the Operating System also uses a portion of it.
