What Is The Function Of ROM And RAM?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    ROM - read only memory, is used to store the information that will never be changed/ cannot be changed by the user, such as instructions to make the computer properly boot (start up).  This does not get erased when the computer's power is lost.

    RAM is random access memory, which contains the information that the computer is using at that moment.  This will get erased if the computer's power goes off.  For example, the text you type in a word document will be stored in RAM, until you close the file.  Then it will be stored in the hard drive.
