What is the Difference

Between RAM and ROM?


RAM, which stands for random access memory, and ROM, which
stands for read-only memory, are both present in your computer.

RAM is volatile memory that temporarily stores the files you are
working on. ROM is non-volatile memory that permanently stores
instructions for your computer.

What is computer RAM?
RAM is volatile memory, which means that the information
temporarily stored in the module is erased when you restart or shut
down your computer. Because the information is stored electrically
on transistors, when there is no electric current, the data disappears.
Each time you request a file or information, it is retrieved either from
the computer's storage disk or the internet. The data is stored in
RAM, so each time you switch from one program or page to another,
the information is instantly available. When the computer is shut
down, the memory is cleared until the process begins again. Volatile
memory can be changed, upgraded, or expanded easily by users.

RAM.

What is ROM?
ROM stands for non-volatile memory in computers., which means the
information is permanently stored on the chip. The memory does not
depend on an electric current to save data, instead, data is written to
individual cells using binary code. Non-volatile memory is used for
parts of the computer that do not change, such as the initial boot-up
portion of the software, or the firmware instructions that make your
printer run. Turning off the computer does not have any effect on
ROM. Non-volatile memory cannot be changed by users.
