What else can I help you with?
When you've run out of space in memory and the computer has to resort to using the much slower hard drive to trick the system into thinking there's additional memory what is being used?

What are the recent developments in computer memory?
Computer memory has well improved over the ages, as a result of all the new technology that is being made everyday. Computer memory has been improved by smaller size and faster processing of memory.
What type of memory is being used when software is being loaded into the computer?
RAM
What is the difference between physical memory and available memory?
Physical memory is how much total memory your computer actually has. Available memory is what memory you have that is not being used.
How A Computer Memory Is Being Addressed?

Your computer freezes when opening document from flash memory?
This is due to the file being corrupted on the flash memory. It can also mean your flash memory is infected by a virus and it spreading it to your computer.
How are Computer memory and algorithms connected?
In order to be more efficient, algorithms may be designed with the organization of computer memory in mind. Especially important is being away of, not main memory, but the cache and register sizes of the CPU.
What are two types of computer memory and their function?
The 2 types of computer memory are ROM and RAM. These stand for Read Only Memory and Random Access Memory, respectively. Read Only memory is the type of memory that is non-volatile, which means that the data contained here is never lost, even when the computer is shut down. RAM on the other hand is the type of memory which is volatile-- which can be lost the moment the computer is turned off. It temporarily just stores the data that's being processed when the computer is on.
What component of the computer holds data that is currently being processed?
The data is held by RAM(random access memory) or primary memory when it's being processed.
General Information On Computer Memory?
Computer memory is also known as Random Access Memory, or RAM. It’s a relatively fast type of memory that serves as a temporary storage area for the CPU to work with. It saves the CPU from having to access the much slower hard drive, since whatever programs it is currently working with are being stored in the faster RAM. Not only are programs being stored in the RAM, but so are critical parts of the computer’s operating system. The reason computer memory is often called “temporary memory” is that when the computer is turned off, the RAM chips lose any and all information that was held prior to shutdown. To conserve RAM, only the most essential parts of an active program are loaded, with other parts being loaded into a “virtual memory” space located on the hard drive. As a general rule, the virtual memory is often twice as large as the actual amount of RAM installed. In some cases, there is enough RAM installed that a virtual memory space is unnecessary and is turned off accordingly. When a computer acts sluggishly or constantly displays “out of memory” errors, it may be time for the amount of memory in the computer to be upgraded. A memory upgrade can make a computer run more efficiently, since it now has more RAM to work with, requiring the operating system to use the virtual memory space less. Adding more memory into your computer is often a very easy way to upgrade your computer’s performance, along with upgrading the size of your hard drive. Before you purchase computer memory, you should know what kind of computer memory your computer actually uses. The type of memory used often varies by the type of motherboard used and the age of the computer. The best solution in this case is to use the owner’s manual to find out this important information. The manufacturer of the computer or in many cases, the motherboard, should have additional information on what type of memory should be used. It is important to know which type is used, as most types are not compatible with one another.
What does the acronym RAM stand for?
Random Access Memory, the temporary or "working" memory of a computer.(see the related question below)RAM stands for Random Access Memory.random access memory
What does these letters mean RAM?
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is a type of computer memory that is used to store data and machine code that is currently being used or processed by the CPU. RAM is volatile memory, meaning it loses its contents when the computer is powered off.
