RAM and ROM
Ram stands for Random Access memory. RAM is a component in the computer that is volatile. This means that the data is lost when the computer is tuned off. RAM is a provides a form of memory that has the same access time has ROM. Access time is the length of time that RAM takes data to read and write once the request has been received from the processor, which is located on the motherboard. The time is measured in nanoseconds (NS). Shorter the time the faster the RAM.
ROM stands for read only memory. ROM is the opposite of RAM in the sense of that it is non versatile This means that the data is not lost when the computer is turned off.
An example of Random Access Memory and Read only memory is when the computer crashes and the user has to turn it off and turn it on again (restart). Whatever changes was made to a document since it was last saved will be lost.
Like other memory RAM and ROM are measured in Megabytes but in most cases it is gigabytes.
