- Computer system memory is essential for storing data and instructions that the CPU needs to access quickly.
- There are different types of memory, including primary memory (RAM and cache) and secondary memory (hard drives and SSDs).
- RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory used for temporary data storage while the computer is running.
- Cache memory is a small, high-speed memory located close to the CPU to improve processing speed by storing frequently accessed data.
- Secondary memory provides long-term storage and retains data even when the computer is powered off.
