To my knowledge the answer is no. Ram(sdram, ddr, ddrII, rdram) loses all stored data when power is lost.

no sparkmaker am not talking about old freeze, I know that if i turn off the pc the data will be lost bet what if i take the ram while the pc On
That is not a good idea. Where did this method come from,I have never heard of such a thing and doing it would probably render the motherboard useless.
That wouldn't work either, power would be lost as soon as you removed the ram and you would most likely damage the ram and the motherboard. Ram is not hot-swappable.
the only memory you can retrieve data from are ROM, or PROM, EPROM.
...or a memory stick
