What is the difference between Hard Drive space and Memory (or RAM)?

Many times you hear people talking about the amount of disk space or memory their computers have.
At times your IT support person may have suggested that your computer is slow due to low memory.

The short answer is hard drive space or disk space is not the same as memory or RAM.
