Question

back in 1995, the windows 95 computer came with 4 mb of ram (random access memory). these days, most windows computers come with at least 8 gb of ram. thats 2000 times more ram. what becomes possible with that increase in memory? choose 1 answer: a the computer can store larger files for later use, like movies and games. b the computer can run more applications at once, since it can store their instructions in memory. c the computer can store files from farther back in time, like 10 - year - old files. d the computer can store 2000 more files.

Explanation:

RAM is used for temporary storage of data and instructions that the computer's processor needs to access quickly. More RAM allows the computer to run multiple applications simultaneously by storing their instructions in memory. Storing larger files for later use is more related to hard - drive capacity, not just RAM. Storing files from further back in time is not a function of RAM. And the amount of RAM doesn't directly translate to storing a fixed number more of files.

Answer:

B. The computer can run more applications at once, since it can store their instructions in memory.
