=== RAM stands for R andom Access Memory. RAM is where you can put info on it and you can change it, but when you turn off the computer it doesn,t store any of the info. That is why you need to save. ===

RAM is a random access memory device in the computer that is easier to access by using the processor. RAM is much faster to get to than other memory storage like the hard drive, floppy disk, and CD-ROMS. This might sound good but the data only stays on as long as the computer is on.When you turn off the computer you lose all of your data. RAM can be compared to a person's short term memory, and the hard disk to a person's long term memory. If the RAM fills up the processor will have to repeatedly go to the hard disk and overwrite old data in the RAM. This process causes the computer to slow down. RAM is small physically, and in the amount of data it can hold.

=== <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">Ram – or random access memory, main memory or system, is commonly used to describe the memory in the computer. Unlike ROM, RAM does require the computer to have power, if your computer loses power, you've also lost all of your data. ===

===<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> RAM-Computer memory that the user can create. Loading or running programs, and for the user to make temporary storage is the RAM. But what Ram stands for: R-RANDOM A-ACCESS M-MEMORY. So I think that the RAM is kind of cool because, you know like when you draw a picture in paint and you want to save it well that is what the RAM does. The RAM saves the data for you so if you did not have the RAM you couldn’t save nothing. The other thing that you can do is that you can create a file, like most teachers use the creating part of the RAM. But some students use it, so the RAM is very useful when you need it. === <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> ===<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> ===
