A computer has two types of memory, RAM or random access memory and ROM or read only memory. With read only memory, the computer can read the memory but can not change it. It tells the computer how to work. Random access memory is memory that can be changed. It tells your computer what to do. Once you are finished with the random access memory, you can use the space it occupied for other tasks.
The two are analogous to the way your body works. You have both kinds. If you tell your hand to pick up a pencil, you are using random access memory. You are telling your hand to do one of many possible different instructions. You do not need to tell your hand which tendons, muscles, veins, arteries, nerves, and bones to use in the process. Those instructions are built in. That is analogous to read only memory.
Soon after you picked up your pencil, you have forgotten you picked it up. You have started to draw a picture or add some numbers. You are using your short term memory for something else. It does not matter what. Soon you will forget that also. You will forget the start of a project. You will remember the finished product. You may save that. You can not save that in random access memory but you can save your drawing or math homework.
Your computer erases the RAM when it is shut down.
DDR RAM is the slowest type of RAM and can cause the computer to run slower
Computer Term "RAM" Stands For 'Random Access Memory'.
No, it is not possible to add unlimited RAM to any computer. Each computer has a maximum amount of RAM it can support, determined by its hardware limitations.

RAM speed is how fast your computer goes. The more RAM, the faster your computer.

The amount of RAM depends on the computer.
Give two uses of RAM in a computer.

Yes it is possible to have 5 GB of RAM on a computer, because I have had a computer that has had 6 GB of RAM on it.

A Ram is the male sheep. RAM is computer memory.
If you want to know if your RAM is working properly you could look on you computer information to see if the amount of RAM that is in you computer matches up with what your computer tells you. For instance if you know that you've installed 8GB of RAM in your computer and when you turn it on the computer tells you that you have 8GB of Ram in your computer it should be working correctly. Also there are tests that will look at your RAM to make sure that it is running properly.
