Ram and Rom
  1. Ram: Random access memory
    1. Computer memory available to the user for creating, loading, or running programs and for the temporary storage and manipulation of data, in which time of access to each item is independent of the storage sequence. As a storage medium, RAM is volatile, so its contests are lost when the power fails or is turned off.
      1. Volatile
        1. programs are open and the instructions are waiting to be processed
          1. Applications and data are stored
            1. On the Ram every time you open a program or data you are changing the Ram automatically
            2. Rom: Read only memory
              1. Computer memory in which programs instructions, operating procedures, or other data are permanently stored, generally on electronic chips during manufacture, and that ordinarily cannot be changed by the user.
                1. non-volatile
                  1. contains all of the instructions needed to start the computer
                    1. On the Rom you can change the instructions but its a very bad idea as you could crash you computer
