Read-only memory, or ROM, is a form of data storage in computers

and other electronic devices that can not be easily altered or

reprogrammed. RAM is referred to as volatile memory and is lost when
the power is turned off whereas ROM in non-volatile and the contents
are retained even after the power is switched off.
Random-access memory, or RAM, is a form of data storage that can
be accessed randomly at any time, in any order and from any physical
location in contrast to other storage devices, such as hard drives, where
the physical location of the data determines the time taken to retrieve it.
RAM is measured in megabytes and the speed is measured in
nanoseconds and RAM chips can read data faster than ROM.

RAM
Definition Random Access Memory or RAM is
a form of data storage that can be
accessed randomly at any time, in any
order and from any physical location.,
allowing quick access and
manipulation.
ROM
Read-only memory or ROM is also a form of
data storage that can not be easily altered or
reprogrammed.Stores instuctions that are not
nescesary for re-booting up to make the
computer operate when it is switched off.They
are hardwired.

Stands for Random Access Memory Read-only memory

Use RAM allows the computer to ROM stores the program required to initially
readdata quickly to run applications. boot the computer. It only allows reading.
It allows reading and writing.

Volatility RAM is volatile i.e. its contents are It is non-volatile i.e. its contents are retained
lost when the device is powered off. even when the device is powered off.

Types The two main types of RAM are The types of ROM include PROM, EPROM and
static RAM and dynamic RAM. EEPROM.
