    RAM is used to store information for every program that is currently running on a computer. For example, before a program is started by clicking its icon, it sits on the hard drive and not in RAM. When the program starts, the computer code for the program is transferred to RAM along with any information the program needs to function. This is done because RAM is much faster than the hard disc.
