My Favorite Program!

Howdy guys, I’m currently doing a small video on what’s my favorite program and why I think you guys should look into using it in your everyday life! Please check it out within the week, hope you guys enjoy it.

How RAM works (In a simplistic point of view)

 

Computers exist everywhere, plain and simple, nowadays everything needs a computer so that you can get things done. Whatever you’re on reading this article, is most likely a computer. (If not please leave me a comment of what exactly your using). The idea of computers exist everywhere, we got that, but what exactly goes on inside that machine of yours? It would be too much, and also complicated to explain what everything does, the last thing I need is this blog turning into a text book, so this article is going to narrow it down to what is RAM.

RAM means "Random, Access, and Memory" and the computer uses this "RAM" in order to do certain tasks that require random memory such as starting up a program, moving around the mouse, and so on. A lot of people like to refer RAM to a desk, the more RAM you have the more desk space you have which means you can do things a lot faster since you have more space to do it, and also run a lot more applications. If you think that concept is confusing, try picturing a bucket with water, now pour water into it. The water that you pour into that bucket is the processes that you’re doing on the computer. The more you do the more water you pour into the bucket. The more RAM you have the bigger the bucket.



 Memory Chips

 The memory chips on a RAM module looks something like a square. These are the chips that store that random data at any given time during your session on your computer.



Hard drives store "memory" why do you need RAM?

 RAM is a lot faster than memory on an actual hard drive, mostly because a hard drive has moving parts, which means that the data inside can only transfer at a certain speed. RAM on the other hand does not have any moving parts, which only limits its speed based on how fast the component can put out which is a lot more reliable than a moving part.

The Process

1) The moment you turn on your machine the actual computer motherboard checks all the parts to make sure they are running, for example, if you have the RAM in wrong slot, it gives you a beeping noise, after that process the computer boots up normally if it has an operating system.

2) Processes that you do on your computer will be put on the RAM temporary for basic functions

3) When you turn off the computer, the RAM that was stored gets deleted.


Understanding Component

Understand that both RAM and a Hard Drive are two different things. Usually they are both referred too as "memory" but they are two different types of "memory" that you have in your computer.

Conclusion

This is a very basic introduction to RAM, what RAM looks like, what exactly is RAM and most importantly the basic process of RAM.
