Unlike Health, Mana or Strain, Damage and costs that would reduce your R.A.M. instead [Reserve] that much R.A.M. until the start of your next Turn when it is then restored to its maximum. A Characters R.A.M. may also be [Reserved] for longer periods of time by certain Abilities, such as those that summon Programs from the Netcraft Mastery .

Please Note: D'jinn Characters, while unable to intall a NeuroCore, still gain R.A.M. due to their Electromagnetic Form Ability.
