What Is The Definition For Random Access Memory?
A part of a computer’s memory is random access memory which is a form of silicon chips. Program and data are always loaded into this memory. Random access memory is one in which the contents can always be over-written. Secondly the access time of any memory location is independent of the location address. This form of memory is called semiconductor memory because it is made from semiconductor material. A semiconductor material is one which is used to make transistors and integrated circuits. One of such materials commonly used is silicon. This type of memory provides increased storage capacity and low access time. Each memory location is capable of storing 32 bits which we call a word. Program instructions and data values are loaded in random access memory. So if a computer has 64kilo byte memory it will have 64×1024 addressable locations. The data items stored in each location will be 32 bit and address of each location will be 16 bits or 4 hexadecimal digits referring to our discussi
