RAM is "random access memory", often simply called "memory". It is basically where running programs and the data they need are stored. RAM is faster to access than hard disk space, but it is volatile - if the computer is turned off, the contents of RAM are lost. If you "run" a program, it is first copied from the hard disk to RAM. If you open a Word document, it is also copied from the hard disk to RAM. Any changes you do are done in RAM. If you "save" the document, it is copied back to the hard disk (for long-term storage).
