Programs or stored on the computers hard drive, where its permanently stored. So when you click to open a program, the computer loads the needed files from the hard drive and then sends them through to the RAM where its then temporary stored until no longer needed. When its not needed anymore it gets saved back to the hard drive. The advantage to this is really about speed and performance. Ram is much faster to load from then the hard drive, so it make since to just keep the files stored there and have the CPU processor then process the information directly.

You have Windows XP installed as your Operating System. Once loaded, Windows XP may use 256 MB of RAM. Now that gives you only 256 MB of RAM left. Next you want to access the internet with Mozilla Firefox as your internet browser. Once Firefox is loaded and you start using the web, it will then start to cache some of the web site files to RAM as well making run and load sites quicker. Now you dont have much of any RAM left for the computer to use. Your computer become sluggish and run badly. This because when there is no more RAM to be used by the current opened applications, your computer has to move the files that arent being used as much from ram back to the hard drive in a temporary storage file called the page file. This greatly reduces performance to a standing still. So you may hear people say that the best and most cost effected way to increase a computers performance is to just add more RAM, well there are correct. you canwow goldkaufen from online shop with safe transaction.
