Computer Memory Basics Although memory is technically any form of electronic storage‚ it is used most often to identify fast‚ temporary forms of storage. If your computer’s CPU had to constantly access the hard drive to retrieve every piece of data it needs‚ it would operate very slowly. When the information is kept in memory‚ the CPU can access it much more quickly. Most forms of memory are intended to store data temporarily. As you can see in the diagram above‚ the CPU accesses memory according
