The acronym "RAM" translates to "Random Access Memory". It is temporary storage place for data. When PC is turned off or rebooted, the RAM is emptied and data lost.

On the other hand, "ROM" (Read Only Memory) remains permanently programmed onto some chips and cannot be changed in any normal fashion without getting into the machine language code.

There are microscopic capacitors in the RAM chips which either store a charge (on, 1) or have no charge (off, 0). But RAM can hold all kinds of information that a computer uses. It can hold CPU instructions, hard disk information, graphics data, text, numbers, decimals, etc.

What is the full meaning of RAM?

The full form of RAM is random access memory. Ram is volatile. Volatile chips don't hold the same data. Program and data can be written to and erased from RAM as needed. RAM can be found various places in a computer system. RAM's job is to hold programs and data while they are in use. Now a days we also found NVRAM. The full form of NVRAM is non-volatile random access memory. Non-volatile chips can hold the data, even the main power is turned off.
