RAM: 

Random Access Memory is the physical hardware inside a computer that temporarily stores data, serving as the computer's "working"memory. Additional RAM allows a computer to work with more information at the same time, which usually has a dramatic effect on total system performance.

                                                          Ram can be read and written quickly in any order. Normally, the random access memory is in the form of computer chips.

Over the evolution of the computer there have been different variations of RAM. Some of the more common examples are DIMM, RIMM, SIMM, SO-DIMM, and SOO-RIMM. 

History of RAM:

• The first form of RAM came about in 1947 with the use of the Williams tube.
• The second widely used form of RAM was magnetic-core memory, invented in 1947. Frederick Viehe is credited with much of the work, having filed for several patents relating to the design.

NOTE:

The RAM slots are adjacent to the CPU socket. Look for the big heat sink at the top of the motherboard, and you'll see either two or four memory slots next to it. These are the motherboard slots you insert your RAM into. Before you can install the new memory you've purchased, you have to remove the old kit.
