An abbreviation for Read Only Memory. ROM is used to hold programs and data that must survive when the computer is turned off. Because ROM is non-volatile; data in ROM will remain unchanged the next time the computer is turned back on. As the name implies, data cannot be easily written to ROM; depending on the technology used in the ROM, writing may require special hardware, or may be impossible. A computer's BIOS may be stored in ROM.

READ ONLY MEMORY..... computer memory on which data has been prerecorded. Once data has been written onto a ROM chip, it cannot be removed and can only be read.
Unlike main memory (RAM), ROM retains its contents even when the computer is turned off. ROM is referred to as being nonvolatile, whereas RAM is volatile.
Most personal computers contain a small amount of ROM that stores critical programs such as the program that boots the computer.

ROM stands for Read Only Memory. Basically it is information that is stored that you can view, but not modify (i.e. DVD ROM videos, CD ROM audio CDs).
Edit: Danny, computers actually use RAM (Random Access Memory) to store info temporarily, not ROM.

You need rom memory for programs, the more programs you have open at one time the more rom memory you use and the slower your computer will be
