Random Access Memory (RAM)
Random access memory (or simply RAM) is the memory in a computer that is used to store computer programs while they are running and also any data the programs need to undertake their task.
Information in the RAM can be read and written quickly in any order - hence the words 'random access'
RAM is emptied every time the computer is turned off. It is also known as volatile memory.
