How to make a computer use more RAM?

Do websites make use of computer memory (RAM) for performing internal calculations?

  • Answer:

    Yes, if it uses a client side scripting language such as java script. Such languages help web servers pass on some of the load to the client (browsers) and hence some part of the code is executed and its output is delivered by the browser itself. This is done so that there is no postback to the server and hence the response is almost instantaneous (example games) There are also other platforms such as flash / applets on the browser that do a fair bit of computation (and hence use RAM) on the client side. A snapshot of task manager will tell you the story well enough. This is the same reason why your computer tends to get slow when you have a lot of tabs open on your browser. Browsers (web pages in turn) are monster consumers of RAM. The calculator app mentioned by you uses javascript which is evident from the source code.
