RAM is Random Access Memory. The iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch, iPod Touch second generation all have 128mb of RAM. The operating system and applications are loaded into the RAM when launched for quick access as the hard drive or SSD drive is not nearly as fast. When you shut down your phone or computer, your RAM is wiped. If your computer is running slow, the best thing in nearly all cases you can do is upgrade your RAM (after running the usual tune ups of course).
Then you have the SSD drive, which is similar in operation (but not build) to a hard drive. It permanently stores files like your music and movies and applications.

yeah another 2 year old thread bumped!!!
True, but it's an important thread and the new post added so much information!
When I initially stumbled upon this post, I was indeed curious on if it was possible to install more ram into the Iphone. Yes, yes...I know what RAM is. I want more of it. I want my Iphone to run at its potential when connected to a large bandwidth connection and not be restricted by lag.
