Random access memory (RAM)

Random access memory (RAM) is one of the key components of a computer, which is used to store temporary information processed by the processor. RAM is responsible for storing data used in the current computer session, such as operating systems, programs, applications, and data.

RAM allows the computer to quickly access data, which reduces the waiting time for programs and the operating system to load, and also ensures fast execution of computing processes. RAM also allows you to perform larger and more complex tasks.

The amount of RAM you need in your computer depends on the user's needs. For everyday use, such as working with office programs and browsing web pages, 4-8 gigabytes of RAM is enough. However, to perform complex tasks, such as video or graphics processing, it is necessary to have significantly more RAM.
