Random access memory (RAM) module

The random access memory (RAM) stores the program the computer is executing as well as any data the program needs. Our breadboard computer uses 4-bit addresses which means it will only have 16 bytes of RAM, limiting the size and complexity of programs it can run. This is by far its biggest limitation.
