RAM AND ROM

RAM AND ROM

1. RAM stand for: Random Access memory

2. This means you can access your stuff without touching bytes

3. ROM stands for: Read Only Memory

4. This means that is a type of storage medium that permanently stores data on personal computers

5. There is one major difference between a ROM and a RAM chip. A ROM chip is non-volatile storage and does not require a constant source of power to retain information stored on it. When power is lost or turned off, a ROM chip will keep the information stored on it. In contrast, a RAM chip is volatile and requires a constant source of power to retain information. When power is lost or turned off, a RAM chip will lose the information stored on it.

6. Volatile memory is computer storage that only maintains its data while the device is powered

7. A type of physical memory used in most personal computers. The term dynamic indicates that the memory must be constantly refreshed (reenergized) or it will lose its contents. RAM (random-access memory) is sometimes referred to as DRAM (pronounced dee-ram) to distinguish it from static RAM (SRAM).
