Primary memory is that which is directly connected to the motherboard for the CPU to process, meaning your RAM modules. Secondary memory is located on the hard drive in a virtual memory (called a page file or swap file) when the RAM modules have no more room to store data that is still running, but still needs to recall some as soon as it can swap out what processes have the higher priority.
When the RAM and page file are full, you will notice a lag in computer performance as it struggles to process so much data at one time. If it exceeds the limits of your memory and processor, the system may crash. A fixed large swap file and more memory makes the CPU work less and a better, faster CPU will keep the memory demands lower. This is why more memory and a faster CPU is needed for more complex data processing. To reduce processing even further, a dedicated graphics card with it's own memory and built in CPU that handles the graphic processing allows for the RAM and CPU to work much less, making the computer much more faster.

What are the primary colors and secondary colors on a color wheel?
The traditional primary colors of the color wheel are red, yellow, and blue. The secondary colors are formed by mixing any two of the primary colors, making orange, green, and purple (or violet). Confusingly, different primary and secondary colors exist on the spectrum of light (such as on your TV screen or computer monitor), and they are red, green, and blue, having secondary colors of cyan, yellow, and magenta.
Can a secondary resource be a primary resource?
No a Secondary Resource is totally different from a Primary Resource so it can't be the same. Primary Resource-The person who was there on that occasion Secondary Resource-The person who was not there on that occasion but knows a lot about it
