WHAT IS A RAM?
RAM is an acronym of Random Access Memory,it is a hardware device which temporary stores data.

Just like in a phone when we minimize an application or anything ,what is been minimized is temporary stored by the RAM. Each motherboard manufacturer and model has its maximum RAM capacity, when changing a ram we have to check for it's maximum capacity by either checking online or through the reader's manual.

TYPES OF RAM
There are two types of RAM namely;

• Dynamic RAM(DRAM)
• Static RAM(SRAM)
  Every RAM Consist of both the DRAM and SRAM. A SRAM Stores less data,access data faster and uses more power while a DRAM Stores more data,change data faster and cost less.
