Most types are volatile, meaning the data is lost when the power is turned off.
Because of addressing issues on 32-bit operating systems, most computers can only support 4096 megabytes of it. The performance bottleneck caused by the growing disparity between its speed and the speed at which CPUs can perform, is referred to as the memory (*) wall. When there is not enough of it, swapping must be used. The static type stores information in flip-flops, while the dynamic type uses transistor gates. Most types are volatile, meaning the data is lost when the power is turned off. It is usually sold in modules known as sticks. FTP, name this type of computer storage, which allows the data to be read in any order.
