Ram usually contains a copy of the
application software
you are using,
data
, and the
operating system
. Most software is stored on your
hard drive
and is only loaded into RAM when your PC needs it.
So what about that
document
you are working on in your
word processor
? How do you store it permanently if RAM forgets everything? You must save or copy your work to your
floppy disk
or to your
hard disk
first, BEFORE you turn off your PC.
