To load applications and files

Flash memory is faster and used for SSDs compared to traditional HDDs due to its non-volatile nature and faster read/write speeds.

When there is not enough system RAM available for applications, virtual memory is used to extend memory space, allowing the applications to continue running by utilizing disk space as additional memory.

Virtual memory is also referred to as swap file or swap space, allowing the system to use disk space as an extension of RAM when needed.

Because disk transfer rates are slower than RAM transfer rates

To supplement RAM and protect the operation and integrity of the PC

In a single channel memory controller configuration, the data bus is typically 64 bits wide, allowing for faster data transfer rates.

The maximum addressable memory limit for a 32-bit CPU with a 32-bit address bus is 4 GB, as each bit in the address bus doubles the memory capacity, resulting in 2^32 = 4 GB.

Dynamic RAM stores each data bit as an electrical charge within a single bit cell, distinguishing it from other types of RAM like Static RAM, Flash Memory, and ROM.

Its speed is synchronized to the motherboard system clock.
