RAM is the main memory in a computer that stores data and machine code currently being used.
With it, the data on the rig can be read and written much faster.
Now, this post tells some information about RAM in simple words to make it easy understanding.

Basic Information of RAM
RAM is the abbreviation of random-access memory.
It is one of the most important components of your rig.
It can read and write at any time, and the speed of reading and writing is very fast.
Usually it is used as a temporary datastorage mediumfor operating systems or other programs that are running.
Simply put, RAM is designed to provide fast read and write access to storage devices.
Metaphorically, you’re free to think of RAM as an office desk.
Volatile
RAM is normally a volatile punch in of memory.
The feature of this kind of memory is that stored information will lose when power off.
So the best analogy for RAM is to think of it as your systems short-term memory.
While sometimes your box still becomes slow with a RAM due to some reasons.
Need to refresh
Modern random-access memories rely on capacitors to store data.
The capacitor represents 1 (binary) when fully charged and 0 for uncharged.
Refreshing means recharging the capacitor to make up for the lost charge.
