Detailed explanation-1: -RAM is a temporary memory bank where your computer stores data it needs to retrieve quickly. RAM keeps data easily accessible so your processor can quickly find it without having to go into long-term storage to complete immediate processing tasks.
Detailed explanation-2: -RAM is volatile memory, which means that the information temporarily stored in the module is erased when you restart or shut down your computer. Because the information is stored electrically on transistors, when there is no electric current, the data disappears.
Detailed explanation-3: -RAM is a temporary data storage domain, whereas ROM serves as a semi-permanent storage domain.
Detailed explanation-4: -With faster data access/read speeds, RAM boosts the processing speed of the computer. RAM is also faster and easier to write to than ROM.
