RAM is a computer's random access memory (RAM)
RAM is a special type of memory. It stands for "random access memory". RAM - one of the main elements of the computer. From its volume and speed depends on the number of tasks that can be simultaneously launched on your PC or laptop.
The main feature of RAM is energy dependence. This means that the information in the cells is stored as long as there is power. At loss (even short-term) of a feed all information is nullified (disappears). So RAM is a temporary store of current information.
RAM can be of two types: static and dynamic. Dynamic RAM makes it possible to repeatedly rewrite information, but it requires frequent renewal (about every 15 milliseconds). Static RAM stores the recorded data all the time while power is supplied, and does not require rewriting.
Physically RAM looks like a set of chips or modules with microcircuits. They are usually connected to the motherboard. RAM can have different characteristics, and when you select it, you need to take care of compatibility with the installed system. Usually on the box in which the motherboard was sold, the types of memory that can work with this model are indicated. Of RAM of this type, you need to choose the best option.
If problems arise during the operation of your PC, for example, programs are loaded for a long time and hang during work, one of the reasons is the lack of RAM for too many working programs. There are only two outputs: run fewer programs at a time, and if this approach does not suit you, then buy more RAM.
