Random Access Memory
Random Access Memory (RAM) - The physical memory used to store data while a computer is operating.
Thanks to an awesome gift certificate given to me on my birthday by The Garstka’s and a memory sale at The Mac Store, I was able to add an extra 1 GB of RAM to my MacBook Pro for next to nothing.
Since adding the new memory, I have noticed a huge difference, especially when running Parallels. That makes me happy.
