TYPES OF RAM
What is RAM?
People often draw parallels between computers and the human brain, and
sometimes, it’s an apt comparison. For example, both the brain and a computer
have short- and long-term memory. RAM is where a computer stores its short-
term memory.

 RAM stands for Random Access Memory.

There are two main types of RAM:

1. DRAM, is widely used as a computer’s main memory.
2. SRAM, is made up of four to six transistors.

1. (DRAM)
DRAM is a technical term for a type of random access memory (RAM) that can
retain its contents only for a very brief period (measured in milliseconds) and
must, therefore, be continually refreshed by reading its contents at short
intervals.

 stands for (Dynamic Random Access Memory).

2. (SRAM)
SRAM helps to store all data using of static technique. Static RAM is able to
retain all information into static form until the power supply is turned off, so
due to this nature, this memory is known as volatile memory.

 stands for (Static Random Access Memory).

 We have more like (SD-RAM, DDR-SD-RAM, RD-RAM, EDO-RAM),
But it would be long!
