Random Access Memory, or more commonly recognized as RAM is a place data is put and taken out quickly. This is used so that a computer can access data without reading it off a hard drive, which takes longer. When you're actively using data, it's stored in the RAM so that it can be accessed quickly. Memory modules come in various capacities and variations. Modern memory modules can be purchased in 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16+ GB sizes. Some examples of the different types of memory modules include DIMM, RIMM, SIMM, SO-DIMM, and SO-RIMM.
