How to Build Your Own Personal Computer - RAM Introduction

Random access memory (usually known by its acronym, RAM) is a type of computer data storage. Its takes the form of integrated circuits that allow the stored data to be accessed in any order. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computers and other devices, such as printers.
There are two different types of RAM: DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and SRAM (Static Random Access Memory). The two types differ in the technology they use to hold data, with DRAM being the more common type. In terms of speed, SRAM is faster. DRAM needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second while SRAM does not need to be refreshed, which is what makes it faster than DRAM. DRAM supports access times of about 60 nanoseconds, SRAM can give access times as low as 10 nanoseconds. Despite SRAM being faster, it's not as commonly used as DRAM because it's so much more expensive. Both types of RAM are volatile, meaning that they lose their contents when the power is turned off. In common usage, the term RAM is synonymous with main memory, the memory available to programs. Source : Wikipedia.Org and Webopedia.Com
