This episode is all about RAM. The part of your computer that holds everything it’s working on right now. What it is, how it works, and why more of it can mean the difference between smooth operation and constant lag. Plus a look at DDR4 vs DDR5, memory speeds, and why RAM is still way faster than your SSD.
