How Computer And Laptop RAM Works Together?
Whenever you play a game from your laptop hard drive or stream a movie from the internet, your computer loads the data from the Hard Drive into the RAM for processing the data. The CPU then uses this memory to solve the complex tasks required to deliver your preferred experience.
That’s why RAM needs to be fast—faster than the other storage devices like a Hard Drive offered by your computer’s disk drive. The speed of your RAM defines how fast the data flows in and out of your CPU. If your RAM is slow, you will get the result late.
You can think RAM is like short-term memory, which helps to store the immediate data you need for processing like remembering your items in a shopping list. If you lose your short-term memory, you won’t be able to remember anything for more than a few seconds. however having more short-term memory would allow you to do additional simultaneous tasks, and those tasks can be more complicated.
Higher the capacity of your RAM, the CPU can complete tasks quickly and your experience will be smoother. RAM enables you to open larger files, and demanding applications like video editing software.
Random Access Memory (RAM)
Random Access Memory (RAM) is a type of computer memory that stores data temporarily while a computer is running. It’s called “random access” because the computer can access any part of the memory directly and quickly. RAM (Random Access Memory) is very similar to memory in the Human Brain. The human brain’s memory is the most essential part played by the brain. Memory helps in remembering things, and people remember their past due to the memory present in the brain, similarly, computers have memory too.
RAM helps your computer run programs and process information quickly. When you turn off your computer, the data in RAM is lost, unlike data on your hard drive which is stored permanently. In this article, we are going to discuss about RAM and types of RAM in detail.
