HOW DOES RAM WORK?

* Doesn't matter the type of PC you have for when it comes to a PC data exists only as binary numbers meaning o and 1.
* For a computer binary numbers would be its language for even the most powerful and biggest computer is nothing but a bunch of switches with out binary numbers.
* Each key you hit has a code.
* When you hit a key the computer accesses a certain code that allows you to view the key you desire.
*Example:
* A has the decimal code number of 65.
* B:66 C:67 and so on.

WRITING DATA TO RAM

* Software and operating system sends a lot of electric pulse through the address line where it decides where to record data within many address lines in the RAM.
* In each memory location the electricity turns on the transistor ( which is a tiny electrical switch) that's connected to the data line.
* Transistor needs to be on, in order for the electrical pulse to pass and get to the capacitor.
When it reaches the capacitor, it gets stored and capacitor gets charged. The capacitor represents one bit. When the capacitor is charges it equals 1 but when it is not charges it equals 0.
