10 Characteristics of RAM
RAM
Its acronym in English stands for Random Access Memory.
It is a random access memory that allows specific data to be stored for short times, which generates a fast execution when transferring information.
This information transfer is carried out in order to speed up the procedure between the hard disk , which is a component in charge of storing data, and the processor, which is the unit in charge of processing said information.
RAM memory features
- Information acquisition times are very short times.
- They do not store information.
- It is considered of vital importance within the computer.
- It processes the information that is of importance to the hard disk.
- It is called random access.
- It works based on the voltage path ; when losing it the information is lost.
- They use a bus number that must match both the processor and the motherboard.
- It is used in electronic devices.
- It is responsible for supporting both the operating system and the processes that are carried out on the computer or device.
- It must be distinguished from ROM . The RAM loses information when it loses power, with the ROM the same does not happen despite fulfilling similar functions between them.
