An [Acronym] for __D__ynamic [RAM].
-This is [RAM] which, if not "refreshed" (ie recharged, which can be done by reading it), looses
its state after a short while. Therefor
, some other circuitry has to continuously keep reading through memory over and over to preserve its state.

-This is one of the reasons that make [DRAM] comparatively slow. However, it achieves high packing ratios, ie a lot of storage capacity in little room and is therefor
cheap. A computer's main memory is therefor comprised of [DRAM].
