The main memory of a computer can also be called Primary memory.

Primary storage, also known as main storage or memory, is the area in a computer in which data is stored for quick access by the computer's processor. The terms random access memory (RAM) and memory are often as synonyms for primary or main storage.

Primary storage is volatile and can be contrasted with non-volatile secondary storage, also known as auxiliary storage.
