What component of the computer is responsible for temporary storage of information?
RAM (Random Accessed Memory) is "temporary" storage. It is temporary because the type we use in desktops PC's is called, volatile. This means, when power is lost, so is all data stored in memory.
Where would the information be stored to start a computer?
Some is stored in ROM; most of the information is typically stored on the hard disk, from where it is loaded into RAM.
Where the information need to start a computer be stored?

Area of the computer that stores temporary info internally while the computer is on?
the ram memory and the kernel cacheRAM
After cutting the information in computer where it is stored temporarily?
It saves temporarily in the RAM, and when you save any information it goes to HDD.
What is need of RAM if Rom is there?
Information stored in RAM can be accessed far faster than information stored in ROM. Thus, a computer might store its boot-up instructions in ROM, but store program files in RAM after initial boot-up.
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). In the RAM information like operating system and programs are run. When you turn off the computer the information in the RAM is either saved back to the hard drive or deleted. (That's the short version)
Where would the information needed to start a computer be stored?
Most of the programs and info the CPU and computer uses to Boot are mostly from the Hard Drive. The Hard Drive is mostly where all of the instructions come from.

Why ram is called volataile memory?
RAM is called volatile memory, because data can only be stored within the RAM when there is constant power to the computer. Meaning as soon as the the computer looses power then all of the data that was stored within the RAM is erased.

RAM
When you change RAM cards from a lower amount to a higher amount will changing it remove anything stored in memory in my laptop and is RAM a place where any info is actually stored?
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.
