Morphology
The meaning 'extra random-access memory added to a computer to improve performance' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'additional' (supplementary) with 'RAM' (computer memory). This adjective + noun composition follows a standard, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Additional RAM comes from the idea that RAM is the computer's short-term 'memory' or working space. Adding additional RAM is like giving the computer a bigger desk to hold more papers at once, so programs can do more and run faster.
