Application Based Question. In this chapter, you read about the types of RAM and Memory Module. Look inside the system unit of your home or school computer. Identify and write the type of RAM and Memory Module, inside the computer system.
Answers
Answer:
memory, also called "main or primary memory" refers to memory that stores small amounts of data that can be accessed quickly while the computer is running.
External memory, also called "secondary memory" refers to a storage device that can retain or store data persistently. They could be embedded or removable storage devices. Examples include hard disk or solid state drives, USB flash drives, and compact discs.
What are the types of internal memory?
There are basically two kinds of internal memory: ROM and RAM.
ROM stands for read-only memory. It is non-volatile, which means it can retain data even without power. It is used mainly to start or boot up a computer.
Once the operating system is loaded, the computer uses RAM, which stands for random-access memory, which temporarily stores data while the central processing unit (CPU) is executing other tasks. With more RAM on the computer, the less the CPU has to read data from the external or secondary memory (storage device), allowing the computer to run faster. RAM is fast but it is volatile, which means it will not retain data if there is no power. It is therefore important to save data to the storage device before the system is turned off.
