"RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
Data is loaded into RAM from long-term storage (ie- the hard-disk drive) for execution/processing by the CPU. Having too little RAM can lead to performance problems as data is paged back to the hard drive in order to make space for data that is being loaded into RAM."
"ROM = Read Only Memory. Though a CD-R can be written to, generally, it's only once. Then the CD can only be read and being a form of memory, can be called ROM or CDROM when applied to a CD. All music CDs are basically ROM. Even an LP record could be considered a form of ROM as its content cannot be changed. But in general, ROM refers to electronic devices"

What is an electronic electrical and mechanical parts of the computer?
electronic - microprocessor, RAM, ROM, etc.electrical - power supplymechanical - hard disk head arm mechanism, fan blades
List 3 ways that configuration information can be stored on a motherboard?
CMOC RAM and ROM
Which of these is not a component of von neumann computer model - cpu core ram rom?
None of these are considered to be components of a von neumann/stored program computer. Their meanings are, or have been:CPU, central processing unit (a combination of ALU and CU)core, a now obsolete form of RAM using ceramic ferrite cores strung on a wire matrixcore, one CPU within a microprocessor IC containing multiple CPUsRAM, random access memory (capable of both reading and writing)ROM, read only memory (usually also capable of random access)The components of a von neumann/stored program computer are:ALU, arithmetic logic unit (processes data under control of the CU)CU, control unit (processes instructions)memory, storage for both instructions and data (may contain RAM and/or ROM)I/O, input and output unitsThe main difference between a von neumann/stored program computer and a harvard computer is that the harvard computer has two entirely separate memories: one just for instructions (that is only connected to the CU) and one just for data (that is only connected to the ALU and I/O). As a standard harvard computer cannot modify/write its own program the instruction memory is typically entirely ROM and requires special external means of loading it.
What are the Examples of RAM and ROM?
RAM stands for Random Access Memory and today it's mainly spread in form of semiconductors and used in computers and other electronica ldevices for randomly data accessing. Random because you can access anything in RAM in same time as other thing with no dependencies at all. They are volatile because they are easily and often changed and the content is lost after the power is turned off. ROM stands for Read Only Memory and its used for device firmware chips to store data in order they can be protected from modification.
What are the three basic components of every computer?
This is a simple and quite pointless question, but ohwell... Choose any three from below: * Graphics card - GPU * Processor - CPU * Random Access Memory - RAM * Motherboard/Mainboard * Sound card * Optical Drive - CD-ROM/DVD-ROM * CPU Cooler/CPU Fan * Hard Drive * Floppy Drive * and many more...
How much Ram and Rom does the computer system have?
If I was to purchase a computer that is a average desktop computer how much RAM and Rom should I have?
When the computer is turned on it contains instructions that start the computer when you turn it on is it RAM or ROM?
RAM
When the computer boots which memory does it use either the ram or rom?
The computer is pulling from the hard drive information and is putting into RAM by using software that is burned into the ROM.
Computer memory consists of?
Ram Rom PROM
What differenc between ROM and RAm?
ROM isn't erased when you turn the power off, whereas RAM is.
The factors that affect the speed at which the computer runs are RAM and?
ROM
Which ane is not a memory of computer d-ram rom ram t-ram?
D-Ram. It's a car, smartass.
When buying a computer should you be concerned about ROM or RAM?
When purchasing a computer, you need only be concerned with the RAM. All computers have ROM, but for the most part, the type or amount of it will make no impact on any aspect of the computer's operation. Since no applications you run are going to rely on ROM for storage, that leaves only RAM.
How do you give data to ROM and RAM?
ROM is burned with a ROM/PROM burner (small computer with pin outs for a lot of IC's) - RAM is filled by the motherboard/memory controller on a mainboard.
What do letters ROM stand for?
RAM stands for Random Access Memory or memory in your computer that can be read and written to by programs. The amount of RAM in a computer has a bearing on how much work it can do in a given amount of time, and how complex a program that can be run. The other type of electronic memory in a computer is called ROM, or Read Only Memory, and is the kind of memory that is programmed permanently at the factory that makes your computer a computer and not a toaster. ROM is fixed and usually a smaller size, RAM is expandable (to a point).
What does a computer remember?
ROM is memory the computer will remember. RAM is memory the computer will loss when you turn off the computer.
What are two characteristics of RAM and ROM?
Is to enable the computer to perform faster
