Explain 2 diffrences between Rom and Ram?

Answer 1

Read Only Memory
Read And write Memory
clear enough?

Answer 2

Random access memory (RAM) is the best known form of computer memory. RAM is considered "random access" because you can access any memory cell directly if you know the row and column that intersect at that cell.

Read-only memory (ROM), also known as firmware, is an integrated circuit programmed with specific data when it is manufactured. ROM chips are used not only in computers, but in most other electronic items as well. In this article, you will learn about the different types of ROM and how each works. This article is one in a series of articles dealing with computer memory, including:

* How Computer Memory Works
* How RAM Works
* How Virtual Memory Works
* How Flash Memory Works
* How BIOS Works

Answer 3

RAM is faster, which is why computers use it for main memory. PCs use ROM only for the initial boot program


Random access memory or RAM most commonly refers to computer chips that temporarily store dynamic data to enhance computer performance

ROM At the most basic level, non volatile memory stores data without ower. Two examples of devices that use non volatile memory are hard drives and CMOS chips (the chip that holds your BIOS information).



Random access memory is volatile memory, meaning it loses its contents once power is cut.

Read Only Memory doesn't lose its contents once the system is shutdown, It stores the data id HDD or other Media



Random access memory is categorized by architecture and speed. As technology progresses, RAM chips become faster and employ new standards so that RAM must be matched to a compatible motherboard. The motherboard will only support certain types of random access memory, and it will also have a limit as to the amount of RAM it can support. For example, one motherboard may support dual-channel Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), while an older motherboard might only support Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMS) or Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMS).

There are a few advantages to products using nonvolatile memory. They are typically less costly to produce than volatile memory (such as RAM), data can be stored up to ten years (sometimes longer) without a power source, and it allows hardware to become upgradeable. This allows developers to both adjust to new technologies, and helps to stave off complete hardware upgrades.

Answer 4

ROM: Read Only Memory
Non Volatile
Data Stored here cannot be rewritten(unless using special techniques)

RAM: Random Access Memory
:Volatile Memory
:Data can b change by the user

Answer 5

well RAM means RANDAOM ACCES MEMORY , ROM is read only memory or you can say that the SPEED , ACCCESING , RUNNIG OF PROGRAMS depend on RAM ( higher the RAM powerful the COMPUTER ) it will store data temporarily and help you for quick access. AS SOON as u switch of pc you data will be erased. ROM is used to get input data for example reading of CD , DVD is done by ROM , Data stored in it can be editted or delted !! where u put YOUR CD IS A example of ROM !!

Answer 6

Rom is memory whose contents can be accessed and read but cannot be changed.
Ram is the most common computer memory which can be used by programs to perform necessary tasks while the computer is on; an integrated circuit memory chip allows information to be stored or accessed in any order and all storage locations are equally accessible.

Answer 7

ROM=Read Only Memory
It cant be erased or changed, a video game cartridge is an example

RAM=Random Access Memory
It can be erased and changed and is erased when you turn your computer off

Answer 8

ROM > Read Only Memory

this type of memory data can be only written once and it can be read any amount of times.


RAM > Random Access Memory

this type of memory data can be written - read - erased - and re-written several times

Answer 9

RAM:1) u can read and modify anything on the RAM.
2) Everything in RAM gets erased when power goes off.

ROM:1) U can only read...can't modify
2) No info gets erased when power goes off.

Answer 10

One has an O and one has an A...sorry but that was the only diff. I could think of.
