-**Random ​access memory ​(RAM)** is a type of data storage used in computers that is generally located on the [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​m:​motherboard|motherboard]]. This type of memory is volatile and all information that was stored in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off. Volatile memory is temporary memory while [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​r:​rom]] is non-volatile and holds data permanently when the power is turned off. +**Random ​Access Memory ​(RAM)** is a type of data storage used in computers that is generally located on the [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​m:​motherboard|motherboard]].
