Computer Memory RAM for Scrap Gold Recovery

One of the most confusing sets of terms in everyday computer usage is “‘Memory’ & ‘Storage’.” People often use one term when they mean to refer to the other thing. It can be confusing because both memory and storage are measured in the same units: bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc. This is because both memory and storage are places to hold your data, but they do very different things with it.

The two components that ‘memory’ & ‘storage’ refer to are RAM & the hard drive.

The memory is known as RAM. It is is a part of your computer that it uses while it’s powered on. Your computer stores everything that it’s thinking about in RAM. If you’re running a program, it’s in RAM. If you’re looking at a webpage, it’s in RAM. RAM contains everything that’s currently going on with your computer. And when RAM is in a computer that isn’t powered, the RAM is empty. It’s just waiting for something to think about.

The more memory your computer has, the more it’s able to think about at the same time. More RAM allows you to use more complex programs and more of them.
