Info:
The working memory or main memory is the memory of a PC or computer. This is where the programs are executed and data is stored for processing and can be called up at any time. This happens many times faster than from an HD or SSD hard drive . It should be noted that when the computer is switched off or restarted , the information stored in the main memory is automatically deleted.
The exception is the hibernation mode, in which case the data is temporarily stored on the hard disk beforehand and restored after a restart.
