Understanding RAM: Quick Access Memory

RAM temporarily stores data that the CPU is actively using so it can be accessed quickly, rather than needing to retrieve it from slower storage locations like the hard drive. RAM loses any data it holds when a computer is powered off since it requires constant power to maintain the stored information. RAM provides faster access to frequently used data for improved computer performance.
