Forthworth Technologies - Importance of ram for the computer system
1.
2. Many of us think that processor speed is the only important
factor for good speed of a computer however it is only a
myth. A good Random Access memory (RAM) is equally
important since it is a reason for increasing the speed of a
computer along with the processor. According to the
Computer support Fort Worth, RAM plays an important role
along with the processor. Before knowing about the value of
RAM for the computer it is very necessary to know the exact
meaning of RAM or What the RAM is?
3. RAM is the main and primary memory of the system. It is a
hardware device and a part of the central processing unit
which allows information to be stored and retrieved on a
computer. It is volatile memory. Volatile memory requires
constant source of power to retain information. RAM keeps
the data until you do not save your information and data
permanently on ROM. It does not store any information or
data permanently. When power is lost or turned off, RAM will
lose the information and data stored on it.
4. RAM is a type of chip used in computer and other devices. It
allows us to store and run programs on the computer. It is one
of the fastest memories in our computer system. If you are
using internet browser on your computer, the pages you will
see on the screen and pages that have been loaded into
memory are run on RAM. However, as mentioned in previous
paragraph that, If the power is interrupted, the RAM will lose
ALL the values in it. Thus the name RAM.
5. For example: - if you are working on Microsoft word the text
you are typing and formatting is currently stored in the RAM
chip until you do not save it on your system permanently. If
power goes out of your computer, you lose everything that
was in RAM. This could be bad. This is why it is so important
to save your work frequently when working on a computer.
6. If you are thinking about speeding up your computer then
adding more RAM to your system will help you. RAM directly
affects the computer speed. The more RAM you will install in
the system the faster it will run. Adding more RAM increases
the size of that work space. More RAM will allow you to do
more tasks and complex tasks easily with the speed. Adding
more RAM allow to do multiple-tasks at a particular time on
the system with the good speed. Adding RAM is one of the
fastest and easiest upgrades that boosts up your computer
speed. It’s so easy in fact that virtually anyone can do it.
