Answers That I've Given
Question:
I kinda unerstand the difference between RAM and Memory and i was just wondering can RAM be used up like Memory?? Ram is rapid access memory and memory is where files/ect are stored and i want to know if RAM can be depleted so my question is can ram be used up???
My Answer:
First, no, you do NOT understand the difference between RAM and memory.
RAM is Random Access Memory. ("random," not "rapid.") RAM is a type of memory! It is the volatile type of memory. RAM is constantly be use by your computer while it's running and once you shut down your computer, all memory in the RAM is deleted (or lost).
And about your question, yes, RAM can be used up if you run too many programs at once, but if you turn off unnecessary programs or reboot (restart) your computer, the RAM will be all clear again.
Open your computer's task manager and check the processes. You should be able to see a list of programs and services that are running on your computer.
