It's temporary memory.
When you run a program such as a word processor or an internet browser, the CPU in your computer pulls the executable file(.exe) off the hard disk and loads it into RAM. Large programs like Microsoft Word or Excel use large amounts of memory The microprocessor also pulls in a number of shared dynamic link libraries (DLLs) -- shared pieces of code used by multiple applications. The DLLs take many more megabytes.
ÂThen the microprocessor loads in the data files at which you want to look, which might total several megabytes if you are looking at more than one document or browsing a page with a lot of graphics. So a big application can easily take 100 megabytes of RAM or more, which can slow your system down significantly if there isn't enough memory. On your machine, at any given time you might have the following applications running:
* ÂÂÂA word processor * A spreadsheet * An e-mail program * A drawing program * Three or four browser windows * A fax program * A Telnet session

RAM: random access memory
Random Access Memory
Random access memory.
Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory
Random Access Memory.
RAM, or random access memory.
RAM is the abbreviation for Random Access Memory.
This is done as because you can access the memory at any random point i-e randomly.
There is no such thing. random access memory maybe? RAM ROM = Read Only Memory, not Random Operating Memory.
Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) entries are constant and fixed, the information stored in this type of memory does not degrade over time. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) slowly leaks over time and must be refreshed from time to time.
