A random access memory is used to temporarily store programs or memory that is currently in use.  The memory can also be delete or erased from the computer when the computer is turned off or restarted. It acts as a temporarily and a permanent memory storage device.

Sound Cards

            If I was given the choice to choose one out of the three sound cards from the different manufacturers, I would purchase the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer because I use my computer very often to watch movies and listen to music. I would want a full audio sound and this product offers an amazing surround sound and enhances the sound effects. There are other users that do not need the enhanced sound system, so I would recommend the Diamond Xtreme Sound 5.1/16 sound card to them. It is a reasonable price and offers the users a high level, theater sound quality also. For those that do not want to spend an extra $60 on a sound card and just want sounds, the Xtreme Sound 5.1/16 is just right for all households, because the X-Fi version is made for gamers.
