RAM is a form of volatile computer memory that temporarily stores data and machine code currently being used by a running program, allowing fast read/write access compared to disk storage. Unlike storage drives, its contents are lost when power is removed. Understanding RAM capacity and speed is a core concept for hardware engineers, IT technicians, and software developers optimizing application performance.
