The purpose of RAM is to allow your CPU faster access to programs. If your CPU had to go to the Hard Drive anytime it wanted a program your computer would run very, very slowly. So for example, if you click on internet Explorer, it is placed in RAM. Your CPU can access data out of RAM very quickly, like 1 million times a second. That's why if you have lots of RAM, then more of the Internet Explorer program can go into RAM, while if you have to little RAM, then your computer is slower because the CPU has to wait while more of the program is loaded into RAM from your hard drive.
