RAM is temporary memory, while hard disk space is more permanent memory.

When you save a file, you save it to your hard disk, but when you call up the interet, it uses temporary memory, RAM. The more windows you have open, the more RAM you will use up. Proccesses that the computer preform take up RAM, while saved files and programs take up hard disk space.

Hard disk space is usually a whole lot larger than RAM. For instance, a laptop may have 250GB (gigabytes) of hard disk space, and only 2GB of RAM

AnswerRAM is the computers memory, where as hard disk is the storage of the memory.

information stored in RAM can be accessed and utilized much faster than information stored on a hard drive. The RAM is therefore generally used to store information in the short-term, for example for programs and processes you are currently running that will need a certain bit of information very quickly in order to function. The hard drive is generally for more long-term storage and for files which are required to run programs. When you run a program many files required for function may then be copied to RAM for use while running this
