The Main and Secondary Memories: Understanding Their Functions Better

Imagine the personal computer as an “electronic” city. As the user sends commands to the computer, all the computer parts inside are working together to complete the single task the user sent.

Some of the parts’ roles are clear: the motherboard acts as the brain of the computer; the USBs are for additional ports, the LAN is for the internet and so on and so forth. However, do you know the purpose of the RAMs? The computer has two kinds of RAMs, the main and secondary. The main RAM sends the information to the secondary RAM, and the sole purpose of the secondary RAM is to store these said pieces of information. Have you ever wondered why gamers choose high RAMs? Because the speed of the game (graphics, sound etc.) is dependent on how high the RAM is.
