    1. Storing data: RAM is used to store data that is being accessed or used by the computer’s processor. This data can include program instructions, as well as information being entered or used by the user.
    2. Improving speed: RAM helps to improve the speed of a computer by allowing the processor to access data more quickly. This is because data stored in RAM is much faster to access than data stored on a hard drive or other type of storage device.
    3. Enhancing multitasking: RAM allows a computer to run multiple programs or processes at the same time, which is known as multitasking. This is because RAM provides the computer with additional space to store and access data for each of the programs or processes that are running.
    4. Improving virtual memory: When a computer runs out of RAM, it can use a portion of the hard drive as temporary storage, known as virtual memory. This helps to improve the performance of the computer, as the hard drive is slower to access than RAM.
