Techopedia Explains Random Access Memory (RAM)
RAM is used to increase the speed of applications by loading information into it to be accessed as quickly as possible. It is also used to increase the availability of previously-accessed data. For example, when a program is launched for the first time after a reboot, it takes more time since the computer is loading it from long-term storage.
