what the difference between processor and ram??

ok!!!! will give you in detail !!! firstly processor : A central processing unit (CPU), or sometimes simply processor, is the component in a digital computer that interprets computer program instructions and processes data. CPUs provide the fundamental digital computer trait of programmability, and are one of the necessary components found in computers of any era, along with primary storage and input/output facilities. A CPU that is manufactured as a single integrated circuit is usually known as a microprocessor. Beginning in the mid-1970s, microprocessors of ever-increasing complexity and power gradually supplanted other designs, and today the term "CPU" is usually applied to some type of microprocessor. The phrase "central processing unit" is a description of a certain class of logic machines that can execute computer programs. This broad definition can easily be applied to many early computers that existed long before the term "CPU" ever came into widespread usage. However, the term itself and its initialism have been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s (Weik 1961). The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation has remained much the same. Early CPUs were custom-designed as a part of a larger, usually one-of-a-kind, computer. However, this costly method of designing custom CPUs for a particular application has largely given way to the development of mass-produced processors that are suited for one or many purposes. This standardization trend generally began in the era of discrete transistor mainframes and minicomputers and has rapidly accelerated with the popularization of the integrated circuit (IC). The IC has allowed increasingly complex CPUs to be designed and manufactured in very small spaces (on the order of millimeters). Both the miniaturization and standardization of CPUs have increased the presence of these digital devices in modern life far beyond the limited application of dedicated computing machines. Modern microprocessors appear in everything from automobiles to cell phones to children's toys. now RAM : Random access memory (usually known by its acronym, RAM) is a kind of data store used in computers. It takes the form of integrated circuits that allow the stored data to be accessed in any order — that is, at random and without the physical movement of the storage medium or a physical reading head. The word "random" refers to the fact that any piece of data can be returned quickly, and in a constant time, regardless of its physical location and whether or not it is related to the previous piece of data. This contrasts with storage mechanisms such as tapes, magnetic disks and optical disks, which rely on the physical movement of the recording medium or a reading head. In these devices, the movement takes longer than the data transfer, and the retrieval time varies depending on the physical location of the next item.

RAM is a fast memory device that stores data related to the programs that r currently running on the machine. Processor is the brain of your computer.It processes the data stored in the memory.it performs all the calculations and executes instructions.like "minimize window", "close window", "2+2=4" etc.

there is too many diff. between Processor and ram . Processor is in computer for the handling of your prob and solve it. but the Ram is Random Access memory which is only for take a large data from your harddisk or your keyboard and gives it to Ram. Ram is non volentile memory.

processor is the mother board and ram is random access memory means the memory to operate the mother board...

Thats two full different things.Cpu is proces data while RAM just help for that she is temporary memory.I don't know to explain but have a big difference.

Processor takes data from RAM, if RAM is working greatly then only processor can address data resides in RAM.So RAM is an important factor that effects the speed of a computer

Processor reads or executes any command or instruction. RAM is a storage of command or instruction or data to be executed by processor.

The processor (CPU) is what determines the speed of your computer. The CPU is responsible for figuring equations and grabbing data from memory and putting it where it is supposed to put it, the better the CPU the faster the computer. RAM is the computers memory, how much RAM you have determines how much your computer can hold in its memory for the CPU to play with. They work togethor, if you have a great CPU and 64 MB of RAM, then you're not going to be able to play around with any rich applications. All you would be able to do is grab data quicker then ever, although it won't seem so quick because so little can be held in memory without alot of RAM. If you have alot of RAM and a crappy CPU, then you can hold alot in memory, it just will take forever for the CPU to grab the data and place it where it needs to be. So if you have a good cpu and are experiencing major system overhauls or increased slowness from products like Flash or Photoshop, then you need more RAM. Hope this helps

RAM Random Access Memory that Used to Store Data that to be Processed in the near time. RAM is also Storage Like Hard Disk. But it can Store Data when Power is Sypplied. The RAM is Faster than Hard Disk and So it can Speed up the Data Transfer. [ it Stores Data like a Water Tank So that Full Forced transfer can be possible] CPU is Entirely Diff From RAM. CPU is made up of transistors and it Accepts the Data from RAM and Process to get Output. It is Brain of Computer, And it Control the RAM too. All Components Controlled by CPU.

Well the processor is the unit that proceses the tasks while the RAM is just a memory used to store often used files during a session (it is emtied when power is turned off).

processor is brain and ram is just like temprary tank
