text: RAM is a depository for a variety of information - typically that information includes processor instructions that a program might need to use while that program is running, data being stored by running programs in order for that program to operate (for example, when playing a game the game will need to store a lot of different numbers that are being changed and checked as the game is played), and can occassionally contain parts or entire files that may need to be edited or read during the execution of a program (for example, when you're opening a zip file, winzip or your zip program needs to unencrypt the file, this is typically done at least partially in RAM).
