RAM stands for Randon Acsess Memory , the more you have the faster you computer can be though this also greatly depends the processor and other stuff. HDD stands for Hard Drive Disk, this stores large pieces of information.

ram: fast acsess to memory,loses when turned off.

hdd: slower , keeps when turned off.

How much music and movies can a 4GB DDR 3 laptop hold?

what you are reading probably is the RAM not the HDD (hard disc drive).
