Computer Basics Columns - Getting It Right Memory
You already know that the computer has memory. What you may not know is that most of the electronic items you use every day have some form of memory also. Here are just a few examples of the many items that use memory: cell phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Game consoles, Car radios, VCRs, TVs. Each of these devices uses different types of memory in different ways. The computer uses memory for the following purposes: when the computer boots up, the boot loader loads the Operating system files required to present the OS to the user into the main memory (RAM). When your computer is in normal operation, its memory usually contains the main parts of the operating system and some or all of the application programs and related data that are being used.
