It looks just like any silicon chip.
They usually come in black plastic or ceramic packages. The "chip" inside is completely covered, so any picture of a chip will do - As long as it is not a presentation to a bunch of electronic engineers, who would recognize that the white numbers printed on the outside of the chip make it a different sort of chip!
ROM chips rarely have more than 40 legs, so perhaps best to stay away from a picture of a computer's microprocessor. Any small chip really should do!
I hope this helps?!
Good luck!

Read Only Memory (ROM) is a "solid state" form of an area on a microchip. It is programmed by being told to be in a state of "on" or "off" or "1" or "0". The ROM is programmed usually only once unless a special device or very special software tells a special device how to re-program or "flash" the ROM. It is long-term or permanently programmed and not usually meant to be changed. Often confused with RAM which is temporarily programmed.

.
The term "Read Only" applies to FILES that can not be changed
UNLESS you "resave" the file, and rename it, to work with making changes.
ROM
is a type of memory, (as on your computer hard drive)
that normally can only be read,
as opposed to RAM which can be both read and written.
A RAM (Random Access Memory) "memory" CHIP is a piece of hard ware inside your computer that has physical electrical components that
speed up the performance of your computer being able to access files.

i've got self assurance intercourse in the past marriage is misguided, yet I nevertheless think of that entire cow/milk word is so incorrect and offensive. Does she comprehend that "paying for the cow" is if truth be told agreeing to sell your intercourse for a cost. in case you're negotiating the value than you're a WHORE. in case you will bypass with the full barnyard good judgment, then why could the lady purchase THE PIG if all she needs is somewhat sausage now and then!??

No it is not a "chip". Most desktop memory is about the size of a pocket comb. It is green and has little black chips on it.
