RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It holds the program (sequence of instuctions) and data that the CPU is presently processing. RAM is much faster to read from and write to than the other kinds of storage in a computer, the hard disk, floppy disk, and CD-ROM. When you turn on your computer, your operating system and other files will automatically load into RAM again, normally from your hard disk. It is wiser to save your document every few minutes.
