Build a computer: RAM

General information

 The Random Access Memory (RAM) is the "shortest-term" memory part of the computer if you would compare it to a brain.

The RAM is the stores data that is actively being worked on by the CPU. RAM can read and write data extremely fast (much faster than any permanent storage solutions) but can't retain information once the power is turned off.

RAM kits consist of RAM Modules such as the 4 colourful Modules you can see in the image above.
You can get just one Module, 2 Module, 3 Module, 4 Module, or even 8 Modules and more as long as your Motherboard has sufficient RAM Slots.
A Motherboard has RAM  Slots where RAM gets plugged in to. RAM comes in differences capacity starting around 4GB and going up to 64GB per Module on modern systems. Having more Modules, of course, will multiply your RAM capacity.
Find out what RAM performs best for your future PC build, and take look at our guide to see how much you'need.
This a example of a Ram of 64GB:
