I was asked this question for class I will give you what I got but not sure this is what the answer is.

The Question:

When you buy new software packs, why does it state the minimum RAM and hard drive space your computer must have for you to run this program.

My Answer:

Because you need to know how much space is required in order for the software to run the way it should.

Also a question that I am having trouble researching is:

If your computer does not have RAM, what types of files will you be unable to open and Why? If someone knows where I can get this answer please help me

If your computer does not have RAM, what types of files will you be unable to open and Why?
You won't be able to do anything as the machine will NOT boot.
