Main memory, also known as RAM (Random Access Memory), is the temporary storage location where a computer stores a program and the data that the program is working with while the program is running. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) processes the instructions and data stored in main memory. The disk and microprocessor are storage and processing components, respectively, but they do not store data while a program is actively running.
