Final answer:

RAM is a type of memory that provides quick access to data for the computer's processor. When not enough RAM is available, the computer may use the hard drive as virtual memory, leading to system slowdowns and potential program crashes.


Explanation:

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of volatile memory that stores data that the computer's processor needs quick access to. When there is not enough RAM available, a computer may start using the hard drive as virtual memory through a process called 'swapping,' which can drastically slow down the system performance. This slow down may lead to lagging, freezing, or crashing of programs as the computer struggles to manage the limited memory.
