What is RAM? How it is important for the efficiency of computer

Random Access Memory (RAM)

RAM (pronounced ramm) is an acronym for random access memory, a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes. RAM is found in servers, PCs, tablets, smartphones and other devices, such as printers.

How it Works?

Random access memory (RAM) is the best known form of computer memory. ... SAM works very well for memory buffers, where the data is normally stored in the order in which it will be used (a good example is the texture buffer memory on a video card). RAM data, on the other hand, can be accessed in any order.

How it effects the efficiency of Computer?

Generally, the faster the RAM, the faster the processing speed. With faster RAM, you increase the speed at which memory transfers information to other components. Meaning, your fast processor now has an equally fast way of talking to the other components, making your computer much more efficient.

How RAM affects the Internet Connection?

These factors are affected by both your ISP and your computer's hardware. If theInternet is slow, you may be tempted to upgrade the RAM to try to increase speedand reduce lag. However, while RAM does play a part in how well your Web browser can operate, it may not increase your loading speed much,
