Operatiivmälul

Operatiivmälul, also known as RAM (Random Access Memory), is a type of computer memory that can be read from and written to in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code. It is a volatile memory, meaning that its contents are lost when the power is turned off. Operatiivmälul is essential for the performance of a computer, as it allows the processor to quickly access the data and instructions it needs to execute programs.

The speed and capacity of operatiivmälul have a significant impact on how smoothly and quickly a computer can run applications. More operatiivmälul allows a computer to handle more tasks simultaneously and to run more complex software without slowdowns. Different types of operatiivmälul exist, such as DDR3, DDR4, and DDR5, each offering improvements in speed and efficiency over its predecessors. The amount of operatiivmälul installed in a device is a key specification when purchasing or upgrading a computer, smartphone, or tablet. It is distinct from long-term storage devices like hard drives or solid-state drives, which retain data even when the power is off.
