RAM is all-important in computer

By now the term RAM has become one of the most popular or most commonly used words in the global scenario. What is RAM then?  Well, Random access memory, or RAM, happens to be a sort of memory that is willy-nilly available in preference to sequential memory, which can be accessed in sequence only. Tapes and videocassettes make use of sequential memory in the form of electromagnetic tape and RAM is used in computers but is temporary in nature.
How many types of RAM are there? There are only two types of RAM, namely static RAM and dynamic RAM. Among these two the dynamic RAM is stored in a chip that consists of capacitors and transistors and these capacitors are akin to small vessels that act in the form of storage spaces for temporary memory. Bear in mind that these capacitors need to be refreshed all the time so as to confirm the inbuilt leak that these devices contain, for this reason the term dynamic RAM has been provided.
Static RAM, on the other hand, makes use of entirely different type of technology through using flip-flop switches instead of capacitors. This precludes any refreshment, strengthens both speed and efficiency of the computer. Typically, superior versions of dynamic RAM are used rather than static RAM owing to its high price. These versions contain FPM (fast page mode), ECC (error correcting code), EDO (extended data output), and SDRAM (synchronous dynamic RAM). ECC RAM is an exceptional error-correcting RAM, used in servers.
