Er, yeah, whatever Jew say.

Sorry, I meant you have more RAM 
You're confusing RAM with storage.

What? You have RAM that doesn't store data? I'd get some more.
Lilly Allen. Yes.

Random Access Memory - Not for general data storage.

Yes.
But the point of this discussion is regarding human long-term knowledge! Therefore the computer equivalent would be HDD not RAM. >_<
Fooools.

Yes it is. If you have an array, ie a piece of data, you need to allocate an address in memory for it - ie in the RAM.
But what I think you're getting at is the difference between that and a hard drive, which was never the point.
