Question

Difference between random access memory and read only memory

Answer 1

Explanation:

There is one major difference between a ROM (read-only memory) and a RAM (random-access memory) chip: ROM can hold data without power and RAM cannot. Essentially, ROM is meant for permanent storage, and RAM is for temporary storage

Answer 2

Answer:

ROM

ROM is non-volatile, not requiring power to store data.

ROM is often used to store the BIOS program on a computer motherboard.  

ROM chips often have a storage capacity of 4 to 8 MB.

ROM can vary in size from less than an inch in length to multiple inches in length and width, depending on their use.

RAM

RAM is volatile, requiring power to store data.

RAM is used in computers to temporarily store files in use on the computer.

RAM chips often range in storage capacity from 1 to 256 GB.

RAM is available in two primary sizes, whether used in a desktop computer or a laptop. Desktop RAM is about 5 ½ inches in length and 1 inch in width. Laptop RAM is about half the length of desktop RAM.
