What would be the result if a computer had only RAM and no secondary storage device?

Modern RAM (Random Access Memory) is a high speed semiconductor storage media that only retains information as long as power going through it. In any device that has no form of hard memory (ie. Solidstate or Disk drives), it will not keep information. As soon as the computer is turned off all the information on the RAM will be lost and you wont be able to get it back. There is some RAM that will keep information, however the amount kept is simply enough for your computer to know where the chips on the motherboard are and computer statistics.
The result would be a computer with no operating system. With no operating system you could not load a web browser or do anything on your computer except play with the boring menus you see when you start up the computer.
