RAM stands for random access memory.
It's volatile memory meaning when you turn off your PC it goes away.
Many operating systems including windows and linux "page" memory to your hard disk which gives you virtually more RAM at the expensive of the slow speeds that are involved with access to your hard drive.
Some programs have temporary files on disk that are cleaned up regularly.
