What is RAM?.............. huh?

Today the class got an opportunity to work on our computer component project. Down below you can see all the research me, Basant and Monjoini did today.

WHAT IS RAM?

* stands for “Random Access Memory”
* Type of computer memory
* Best recommended
* Accessed randomly
* Most common type found in many computers.

Types of RAM

* DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) which is the most common form of energy memory. In the DRAM there is a combination of the transistor and the capacitor, which creates the memory cell. The transistor is designed like the switch that’s controls and allows the circuitry on the memory chip to read or change the capacitor (which stores electrical energy.)

* SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) The static Ram is faster and more expensive then the dynamic Ram. Static ram is used to create the CPU’s cache function faster, while on the other hand the dynamic Ram can store more space.

Static Ram is a lot faster than Dynamic Random Access memory, but is a lot more expensive.
