The motherboard has a lithium battery on it that is juuuust strong enough to keep the memory from losing its data.
No it's not. It's volatile memory (That which looses it's data if the power is interrupted).
forget me not
RAM (random access memory) looses all data when the power goes off. ROM (read only memory) never looses its data ... but it can't be changed either.
USb Drives based on flash memory and other flash memory are not volatile. Volatile means erases or looses memory when shut off or disconnected.
RAM is volatile, because whenever the computer looses power then all of the data that was stored in the RAM is erased. Non-volatile would be a hard drive, because even after the computer looses power the memory still stays.
Yes, DRAM is a short term memory. It is Dynamic RAM, which means when the power goes off, it looses its contents. SRAM would be Static RAM, which means it saves its memory contents after power supply has stopped.
inactive
RAM, or Random Access Memory, is volatile memory, which means it temporarily stores information while there is power to the system. However, it looses all information when the system is powered down.
