RAM & ROM

Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM) Memory is the most essential element of a computing system because without it computer can’t perform simple tasks. Computer memory is of two basic types – Primary memory(RAM and ROM) and Secondary memory (hard drive, CD, etc ). Random Access Memory (RAM) is primary-volatile memory and Read Only Memory (ROM) is primary-non-volatile memory. 1. Random Access Memory (RAM) – It is also called read-write memory or the main memory or the primary memory . The programs and data that the CPU requires during the execution of a program are stored in this memory. It is a volatile memory as the data lost when the power is turned off. RAM is further classified into two types- SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) and DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) . 2. Read Only Memory (ROM) – Stores crucial information essential to operate the system, like the program essent...
