Sure, RAM in computer terms stands for Random Access Memory. It's like your computer's short-term memory. It temporarily stores (remembers) everything that runs on your computer, like your operating system, your programs, or any data you're working with. Now imagine RAM as a physical workbench – it's the space where you're actively working on something; the larger the space, the more projects you can have out, and the more tasks you can perform simultaneously without having to clear up things and get new ones out. That's why more RAM often equals better performance!
