RAM is the computer's 'volatile' memory. Data is rapidly transferred in and out of the RAM (Random Access Memory) all the time. When the computer is switched off, the RAM is empty.
Insufficient RAM capacity makes the computer run slower. Keyboard instructions take longer to have effect. Sometimes the screen freezes if things are getting really bad. More RAM, the easier and quicker it is for data to be processed by the PC.
If the RAM gets temporarily full with data being processed, the system has to take alternative action, maybe by using unused space on your hard drive. All this takes extra time. It is better to have sufficient RAM in the first place. Many computers now have at least 2 GB of RAM, but with software, especially graphics packages, becoming more and more sophisticated, 4GB of RAM will soon become the norm.
Find out how much RAM your PC has, and, if necessary, you can purchase RAM which can be slotted into your computer. It may not be too expensive. Enquire at a computer shop. Take your computer with you, if you can. It will help them determine the best type of RAM for your machine.
