Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1 GB specifies the RAM (Random Access Memory) of the computer. SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) is the specific type of RAM mentioned in the ad, with a speed of 400 MHz and a maximum capacity of 2GB. RAM is responsible for temporarily storing information that the computer is actively using, such as applications and open documents, to help them run more quickly and smoothly.
