What is DRAM? In which form does it store data?

DRAM is the Hershey's chocolate of readable/writable memory: it's not the best, but it's cheap, does the job, and is available almost everywhere you look. DRAM data resides in a cell made of a capacitor and a transistor. The capacitor tends to lose data unless it's recharged every couple of milliseconds, and this recharging tends to slow down the performance of DRAM compared to speedier RAM types.

DRAM forms the Physical Memory of the PC. The process of recharging described in the earlier post is know as a Refreshing Cycle.
