What is the biggest difference between a RAM and a ROM?
Answer:
Ram is erratic access memory. Rom is read only memory.
Ram memory you can write to while rom you can solitary read from.
RAM = random access memory
Rom = Can't remember?
Random Access vs Read Only and one is volitile.
RAM= memory (makes your computer faster) (128mb, 256mb, 512mb, 1gb, 2gb, etc)
ROM= CD-ROM (unit where on earth you put your cds)
RAM is short for Random Access Memory, and comes from hardware components wired into or attached to the motherboard, the main circuit board of your computer. RAM is used to run abiding basic programs and functions that your computer wishes to operate correctly, and functions only while the computer is acceptance power.
ROM is an acronym for Read Only Memory, a type of unchangeable memory residing in chips on your motherboard. ROM contains the exposed minimum of instructions needed to start your computer. Because it's used for critical functions, it can't be removed short of ripping it out of the motherboard
ROM cannot be written to.
RAM (random access memory) can be edited while ROM (read only memory) is protected from change (unless you do some more involved work).
RAM is Random Access Memory. This means that respectively individual byte can be accessed minus accessing the proceeding bytes. There are two types of RAM: Dynamic (DRAM) and Static (SRAM). Dynamic RAM have to be refreshed lots times per second whereas Static RAM doesn't. This makes SRAM faster than DRAM. RAM is commonly referred to as primary memory when talking in the order of a computer. This is the memory that is available to programs that you are running. When you close a program the RAM that it be using is released to be used by other applications. RAM is also volatile which means if the power is shut stale to the system the RAM is erased or cleared.
ROM is Read-Only Memory. This is memory that has facts prerecorded on it. This data cannot be modified, with the sole purpose read. Unlike RAM, ROM is non-volatile and will not be erased or cleared when the power is shut off. ROM is used to store critical programs and information such as the program that boots the computer. There is a type of ROM that you can modify the data it contains. This is call Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM). These chips are blank and can have notes written to them with a special device call a PROM programmer.
