RAM is volatile memory, it is gone when the power is switched of, it is also referred to as primary memory or physical memory.
Hard disks, memory cards, floppies, etc., are non-volatile memory, it is retained when the power is switched off, it is also referred to as secondary memory.
Hey Simon... I'm completing my A+ Cert. I used your info as a quote to described RAM to my online class.
Cheers lad!
