subject: DRAM Memory Manufacturers [print this page] RAM or Random Access Memory of the computer enables the PC to temporarily store all the data in it, so that the one does not have to go to the CPU again and again to retrieve information. If the PC had to do that frequently then there would not have been any speed imparted to the system and the PC would have slowed down dramatically. RAM in that respect performs the same function that is performed by the brain in human body. It enables the data to be made more usable for the computer. Imagine having all the memories stored in the brain without the brain having the capacity to remember if the memories are there or not, or even if they are there what do they pertain to? Similarly the PC RAM performs the same function of temporarily remembering the data stored in the system and making it readily available in order to increase the efficiency of the users and also enabling the computer to not slow down or compromise on its productivity.
So the basic functionality of RAM has been explained above, and on the basis of utility there are many kinds of RAM that are available. There is DRAM, which stands for Dynamic Random Access memory; which is the common most form of memory that is available in the market. DRAM memory manufacturerssay that this kind of memory is able to impart efficiency to the computer as the speed of the computer increases and the users are able to open multiple functionalities at the same time without impacting the speed and the performance of the computer. That way you would be able to multitask and you would not have to wait for the computer to respond every time you click on the buttons. The speed of the system can just do so well that there would not be any problems in multitasking on your system at all.
The other forms of RAM that are used in the system are SRAM that stands for Static Random Access Memory. SRAM is much faster than the DRAM but it is also very much expensive than it as well. VRAM is still another form of RAM that stands for Video Random Access Memory. This kind of memory is basically used for video cards and as memory for the monitors or as on board video memory for monitors. Now; one has to consider about the method of functionality of the same. When one clicks on the programme, the CPU retraces the data back from the hard disk and stores it into the RAM of your system. On accessing another program, it piles the same information on top of the previous command. That is where the effectiveness of the RAM comes into being, the higher the amount of RAM the more would be the amount of applications that would be able to run simultaneously and efficiently. However it has to be considered that RAM does not have the capacity to retain the information once the system is shut down, therefore in case any mishap happens then you should be able to take stock of the situation and have saved data with yourself.
