Why does information go from the hard drive to RAM and go to the processor?

The Hard Drive may also be called "Storage" or "Disk Space" and it is measured in Megabytes (MB) or Gigabytes (GB).
A Hard Drive consists of a metal platter which spins very fast. As it spins, the hard drive "head" moves along the platter and can "read" and "write" information.
Information in RAM is stored based on electrical signals... so to change information simply requires sending a different electrical signal to the chip. This happens very quickly. Remember, the hard drive is a physical object that is spinning. It takes time to start it spinning, and move the hard drive "head" to the right position. what is the correct proportion of RAM vs disk space in icomputer performance in mega or giga bytes

What can you use to find information about the installed processor and its speed how much RAM is installed and free space on the hard drive?
System Information Utility. The System Information tool is a utility that displays information that is specific to your computer. It displays the Product Name and Product Number which you will need to download drivers or software. It lists some of the hardware specifications for the computer, such as processor type and processor speed and amount of RAM.
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)
