what is the difference between ROM and RAM types of memories?

Answer 1

if i remember right, ROM is Read Only Memory and RAM is Random Access Memory. Rom is for permanent storage, like a bios or something, and Ram is for temporary storage, like when a program loads from your hard drive. it is stored there because it is quicker to access there than from the drive. plus it keeps the drive from spinning all the time, saving on noise and wear on the drive. hopefully that helps.

Answer 2

ROM = Read-Only Memory
RAM = Random Access Memory

Answer 3

The hint is in the acronym.

ROM stands for Read Only Memory. This is used to keep programs that change very little or are used to say start a computer.

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is used to place applications in while it is running and can be updated many times during the operation of a computer.

Answer 4

Rom is "Read only memory" and Ram is "Random access memory" The difference is that the Rom can only be cleared if you flash it, where the Ram is cleared every time you shut off your computer.
