A memory chip is an integrated circuit (IC) made of millions of transistors and capacitors similar to a microprocessor
. The most common form of computer memory is dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a transistor and a capacitor are paired to create a memory cell, which represents a single bit of data and the capacitor holds the bit of information. Transistor acts as a switch that lets the control circuitry on the memory chip read the capacitor.
Computer RAM stands for Random Access Memory which means Information can be retrieve and store at any order by the computer. Computer RAM gives your computer a temporary place to process electronic data which means that, Computer RAM chips continue to store information only as long as computer has electricity supply so when you shut off your computer, all the data is lost which is stored in RAM. CPU starts all the actual computing.
CPU is supported by the chipset and contains several controllers that control how information travels between the components in the PC and the CPU. Memory controller is a part of the chipset establishes the information flow between the CPU and the memory. CPU, memory and other devices are connected by a bus that consists of parallel wires. Architecture of the bus determines how much fast data can move around the motherboard and the memory bus goes from the memory controller to the computers sockets of memory. Systems which are new have front side bus from the CPU to main memory. This is how the Computer RAM works.
