wats the difference between hard drive memory space RAM memory space and processor memory space?

Question

wich one is the most important wich one is the bigger one and is there any other

wich one does it make my computer faster

Answer 1

Think of your Hard as a lake where the water can be stored indefinitely. When you turn your computer off the Hard keeps the data, like a lake would water. Think of your RAM as a force fed channel of water leading to a windmill. If you turn the power off, the pump forcing the water from the lake to the channel dries up. Think of the processor as the Wheel with tiny buckets of data. It can carry small amounts of water to work with rapidly.

So your hard drive stores data in a semi-permanent fashion but isn't particulary fast compard to the RAM. The RAM is exceptionally fast but can't hold too much data at once. The processor cache is even faster but holds thimbles full of data.

Hard drive buffers are 8-16Megs typically. The drive itself can hold 250G or more of data. Ram is often 1G these days. And most processors have 1Meg of cache or 2M.

Answer 2

The hard drives's memory space is where all your programs and such are stored.
The RAM's memory space is used by working applications to perform faster by having pertinent information close at hand.
The processor's memory space is cache. This is used by the processor as a kinda back pocket. The processor can reach into it to grab information about it's processing procedures.

The term "memory space" is actually inacurate.
Storage space is the more acurate term.

Each of these storage spaces is used by a different part of your pc, and the hard drive holds the most of the three.

I hope this helps

Answer 3

Answerer 1 managed to answer without giving any info, well done.

"hard drive" memory ( is not really memory, it's sstorage) is a physical disc used to store data, and the operating system. Sizes currently range from about 30GB to 600GB

RAM is "Random Access Memory" the main working space for all th eprograms, wiped clean if a PC is reset.

CPU memory, is a small area of memory that is very fast memory actually in the processor to do calculations.

importance . . . depends.
RAM : Working Area, More is better, for Vista 2GB is a good "base level"

HDD : Long term storage. : Depends what you plan to do, want to store lots of songs and video files, you want more space

CPU : Built in at CPU factory, can't be changed, so better to focus on the speed of processor

Answer 4

Hard drive memory is where digital information is recorded in a static state until the data area is written over.
RAM is where digital information is held in a dynamic state until it is written over OR the electrical power is removed.
Processors do not really have memory space. They mainly use RAM memory, and some hard drive memory.

Answer 5

Simple answer. Hard Drive memory space is found in the hard disk. RAM memory space is found in the RAM card. Processor memory space is found in the CPU which needs the space for calculation.

They have their own types of importance.

Answer 6

ram is used for instant memory needs and hard drive saves stuff for long term
