Surfing the secret of RAM (Random Access Memory)

Memory (RAM)

 

With the growth of computer technology, the operating system and supporting application, the requirement of the memory (RAM) on your PC (Computer) is also increased. Adding the memory or we use to know as RAM is one of the effective upgrade for our PC component to increase the PC performance. Also if we see from the expense that we have to spend, upgrading RAM is one of the best solutions for our PC. And here Inside The Computers will explain everything and lets Surfing The Secret of RAM.

But, there is also so many options if we want to buy a RAM. Because there is so many term of RAM that we don’t fully understand. To know how to upgrade or to know it better, please continue to read these articles more. Because this is the time to Surfing and expressing the secret of RAM.

What is the main Function of Memory (RAM) on PC?
What we call memory on PC, actually relate on RAM (Random Access Memory). A computer needs a Ram to save the data and instruction which needed to execute a command (task). Data or an instruction which available on RAM it’s enabling the processor or CPU (Central Processing Unit) to do quick access.
When CPU opened a program or application from hard drive such as a word processing, spreadsheet or game, it will loading to memory. This will enabling the application will work faster comparing if it has to access directly to hard drive which much slower.

Because the function of the hard drive only as storage data, not as a memory. With accessing data or application which available on RAM, that will make your PC faster to execute the task.
This simple analogy is to understand this thing, much easier if we take on the real situation every day. For example at the workplace, there is a work table and archive locker. Archive locker we can assume same as hard drive (hard disk), where in that locker we can find file and information that we need. When we start to work, all the information binding and file, we will make them out and we place it on the work table. Of course, we do that to make easy and faster our access to the information that we need. So, work table we can assume as RAM on PC.

With this simple analogy, I believe we can imagine the different of speed between memory and hard drive (harddisk).
