there no need to maintain ram.
It means Random Access Memory
when you open a program you cpu loads it into the ram it can then use from there as it is faster than tking it from you hard drive all the time. when you switch off you computer everything in ram is lost.

The only "maintenance" you can do for RAM is to reboot your system. Windows has never been good about recycling resources when you close programs, so at times parts of RAM are unusable due to inefficiency. But as long as your computer is running okay, I wouldn't worry about it.

ram requires the least maintenance.. that's why it comes with a lifetime warranty coz its less likely to fail compared to other components.. juz make sure ur heat dissipation in ur case is good and ur ram is less likely to give up on u..
