Random Access Memory (RAM) is a device on the computer used to store temporary data that are likely to be retrieved by the user often. Besides RAM, the other way a computer stores data is through cache or storage. Storage is often mistakenly referred to as the actual memory that is permanently stores data on the hard drive or solid state drive while the CPU cache is a small amount of memory that is stored in the CPU chip.
Cache is data that is used very frequently. Both RAM and CPU cache is a temporary storage (memory) to be deleted when the computer is turned off. Problems in the computer’s memory are actually rare because memory cards have no moving parts so it is relatively more durable and reliable.
Here are some signs indicative of problems in the computer’s RAM: 1. When turned on, the computer appears to be fine. However, with more use you might feel the computer’s performance decreases. This may be displayed, for example, when a webpage takes an unusual amount of time to load.
