Thread: How does RAM affect your computer

Random access memory (RAM) is a temporary memory set in a computer. This is where programs, the OS and data in current use are saved in the computer for the processor to access.
Data in RAM
Data in RAM only keep on there when your computer is running. When you turn off the system, anything saved in RAM goes into the HDD.

Hard Disk
Memory is saved in RAM when the machine is in use in addition to the HDD. It is a lot speeder for your machine to access data using RAM than by using the HDD. RAM access time is expressed in NS, while HDD time is expressed in MS.

Speed
How fast your system operates is directly linked to how much RAM it has. The more RAM, the more space your computer has to save what you are working on.

Back and Forth
If you don’t have sufficient amount of RAM, your system will have to go back and forth to the HDD to access programs, which slows down the system.

Access Time
The amount of time ROM takes is called the access time. This ranges from 9 ns to 70 ns. Less ns are better.

Ram gives totally effeects the computer speed and computer performance that means of how can faslty you can run computer and open more than one or two progrmas on same time in computer.our all data like programs and all inforamtion save in ram that's why ram is most useful part of computer.

It's true that ram plays an important role, specially when you are running more then one task or multiple task on your computer, the greater the ram the fast you can operate on multiply tasks.

Choosing the ram depends upon the hard disk as the hard disk capacity goes up you need to have the equally compatible ram for that.
