5 facts about RAM
- RAM stands for Random Access Memory
- It is volatile memory, meaning that the things saved on it are deleted when the power shuts off.
- It can be read and written in any order and can access things much faster than a hard drive.
- It is needed in all computers, otherwise they would run very slowly.
- The two main types of RAM are DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) and SRAM (static random-access memory). DRAM is the most commonly used one.
