What is Computer RAM?

Computer Random Access Memory (RAM) is a type of computer memory that is used by programs when they are loaded, and during task execution for storing data temporarily. This type of memory is addressable, and therefore data can be accessed directly and randomly.

Why upgrade Computer RAM?

RAM upgrade is mostly about being able to run many programs at once, and it is also about speed of computations for certain programs that require a large amount of space. While a RAM upgrade does not necessary speed up processing, it can be a performance bottleneck if you have too low an amount of RAM. The reason for the bottleneck is that your programs will have to rely on your slow hard drive for swap space and temporary storage during execution.
