First off, your computer itself has 2 types of memory. Ram and Rom. Ram is the place where your programs are loaded when you run them. Rom is the place where your programs are stored. When you run a program, the brain or processor loads the program from rom to ram. A flash drive is nothing more than an electronic storage device that allows you to store files or data on it. It isnt much different than the ram your PC uses other than it keeps data stored until its erased. Ram in your PC however differs slightly, it will dump its memory contents to load a new program or when you shut down your PC.

Without getting into architecture differences, the main difference is one is volatile (system RAM) and the other is non volatile. The other difference is that system ram can run at significantly higher speeds than flash memory. (at this time)
There are already laptops coming that will use flash for system memory and even sooner flash instead of hard drives. This practice will increase as the price of flash continues to go down.

The flash memory gamers have a tendency to be smaller and thinner than the difficult disk gamers and that i think of the flash gamers are a splash extra fragile. The flash gamers at this factor frequently purely pass as much as approximately 8GB the place because of the fact the difficult disks pass as much as 100GB its purely a count of what you desire i very own a 30GB Zune and a 8GB iPod.
