Good morning people of steem skillshare, I'm new to this community and I saw that this community focuses on the Sharing of knowledge and skills, knowing this I decided to join here is my achievement 1 link is at the comment section. Today I'll teach you all the the different types of ram and their uses and I hope you all will learn something from it.


What Is RAM


RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory and it's a hardware storage used for storing temporary files on the storage. Any information stored on the RAM will be erased when the computer is switched off. The RAM is also called a temporary memory or volatile memory of a computer device.


Types of RAM


There are two types of RAM in a computer device;

DRAM is an acronym for dynamic random access memory. In this type of ram, it stores little Data in two separate capacitor in a Integrated Circuit (IC). DRAM is mostly built in modern computers. p


Differences Between The Two Ram

SRAM has a low densityDRAM has a high density
It offers less storage to other hardwaresit offers more storage to other hardwares

Conclusion


This is everything I know about RAM, I hope you enjoyed reading till the end.
