A new laptop has lots of RAM but only a small HDD. The user says 'programs run fast but I can't install many games'. Explain why.
HDDs cause slow programs regardless of RAM.
Lots of RAM means programs currently running have plenty of space to load into — so they feel fast. A small HDD means little long-term storage for installed files, so new games fill it up quickly.
It's impossible to have more RAM than storage.
More RAM means no games can be installed.
