<h2>Understanding RAM (Random Access Memory)</h2>
<p>RAM is your computer's short-term memory. It's where your
computer stores data that active programs need to access quickly. Unlike long-term
storage (hard drives or SSDs), RAM is volatile—it loses all stored information when
the power is turned off.</p>

<div class="info-box">
<h3>Key RAM Functions:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Provides fast access to data (measured in
nanoseconds)</li>
<li>Allows the CPU to directly access any memory
address</li>
<li>Stores running programs and their data temporarily</li>
<li>Enables multitasking by providing space for multiple
programs</li>
</ul>

<h2>How RAM Works in Detail</h2>

<h3>1. Memory Addressing</h3>


<p>Each location in RAM has a unique address. The memory
controller uses these addresses to find and retrieve data quickly.</p>

<h3>2. Data Transfer Process</h3>


<p>When the CPU needs data:</p>
<ol>
<li>CPU sends the memory address to the memory
controller</li>
<li>Memory controller locates the data in RAM</li>
<li>Data travels through the memory bus back to the CPU</li>
<li>CPU processes the data</li>
</ol>

<h3>3. Write Operations</h3>


<p>When storing data in RAM:</p>
<ol>
<li>CPU generates data and specifies a memory address</li>
<li>Data travels through the memory bus to RAM</li>
<li>Memory controller writes the data to the specified
address</li>
</ol>

<h3>4. RAM Types</h3>


<p><strong>DRAM (Dynamic RAM):</strong> Stores data in
capacitors that need constant refreshing. This is the most common type used as
main memory.</p>
<p><strong>SRAM (Static RAM):</strong> Faster but more
expensive, used for cache memory.</p>
