RAM

Rationale: Random-access memory (RAM) is a type of temporary computer memory. It allows data items to be accessed (read or written) very quickly. Most modern operating systems use extended RAM known as "virtual memory", in which some of the hard drive is set aside for fast RAM usage, but this may slow the overall speed of the computer because of demands placed upon the hard disk drive.
