Everything your computer does, and every program your computer runs uses memory. Games on nick or cartoon network won't use as much as a game that is resident on your hard drive, but they will use memory.

Any software has to be resident on your system to be ran. This is the case whether it's a "net game" or a traditional game you install from a CD or DVD.
Having said that, most net game downloads are either tiny flash or java applications, and take very little space (primarily because they tend to be far less sophisticated than "real games").

You are confusing Ram to storage. Yes the games use your ram and your hard drive. Most internet games write a "cookie to your drive to record your preferences and such. Be warned though, most free games also install a tracking cookie( Spyware ) which will slow down your computer. Be sure you have a spyware sweeping program installed and scan your drive daily to keep your privacy and efficiency of your machine.

They do, but it accounts for very little. I think it's worth pointing out the difference between Memory and Storage. When you download something - even temporarily in a browser, they are usually cached to your hard drive in addition to being loaded in RAM.

Of course they do. If you have gigabytes of memory you will have no problem. I don't think you know what you are talking about.

nah, website games don't use any memory if u have Shockwave already downloaded.
shockwave is all you have to download and it is a 1 time deal.
free, and plays all interent games (on websites such as newgrounds.com or nick.com)

one extra puzzling force in simple terms potential extra area. not extra speed. you % extra Ram. inner memory stick. attempt shutting down issues on the backside suitable of the show screen in the job bar. The extra issues you have working on the comparable time, the slower each and every little thing else runs (makes use of extra Ram)
