Answer:

Random-access memory (RAM) is a type of computer data storage. A RAM device makes it possible to access data in random order, which makes it very fast to find a specific piece of information. Certain other types of storage are not random-access. For example, a hard disk drive and a CD will read and write data in a predetermined order. The mechanical design of these devices prescribes that data access is consecutive. This means that the time it takes to find a specific piece of information can vary greatly depending on where it is located on the disk.

RAM devices are used in computer systems as the main memory. RAM is considered volatile memory, which means that the stored information is lost when there is no power. So, RAM is used by the central processing unit (CPU) when a computer is running to store information that it needs to be used very quickly, but it does not store any information permanently.

Present-day RAM devices use integrated circuits to store information. This is a relatively expensive form of storage and the cost per unit of storage is much higher than for devices like a hard drive. However, the time to access data is so much faster for RAM that speed outweighs cost. A computer, therefore, uses a certain amount of RAM for fast-access, temporary storage of information and a much larger amount of non-random, permanent mass storage, like a hard disk drive. For example, a typical computer system may have two to eight GB (gigabytes) of RAM, while the storage capacity of the hard disk drive can be several hundred GB or even one TB (terabyte).

WHAT IS ROM ?

As the name suggests, read-only memory, or ROM, stores information that can only be read. Modifying it is either impossible or very difficult. ROM is also a type of non-volatile storage, which means that the information is maintained even if the component loses power.

ROM is often used to store the BIOS program on a computer motherboard. ROM was used as the storage media in a Nintendo, Gameboy, and Sega Genesis game cartridge. RAM is used in computers to temporarily store files in use on the computer. ROM chips often have a storage capacity of 4 to 8 MB.
