yes you can't change the information
ROM Chips. Read Only Memory.
If you want to store information that you do not want changed then transferring the information onto a CD or a DVD will do that. Information stored on these ways cannot be erased so once the information is on there it is read only
If you cannot change information in a computer, that information is in a type of read-only memory (ROM). The system BIOS is one such type of information. That contains the code needed to allow the computer to operate at all. CPU opcodes and microcodes are another type of data that cannot be changed by the user. These are usually hard-wired and are electrical in nature. Then there are typical CDs. WORM-type (write-once, read many) CDs and pressed CDs cannot be changed after they are created.
ROM (read only memory) for example boot manager
named constant
ROM, which is short for Read Only Memory, is a type of memory that cannot have information written to it.
Nope - 'ROM' means Read Only Memory. The information is permanently written at the time the computer is built - think along the lines of a music CD. Once it's written, it cannot be changed.
Files that can only be read (data can be retirieved) are called read-only files. You cannot write any data into a read-only file (you cannot edit it).
Anything held in ROM. ROM stands for Read-Only Memory, meaning that it can't be changed.
rom (Read only Memory)
ROM or "read-only memory" cannot be altered. Once a ROM chip or other ROM media is created, it cannot be changed by user-accessable means and is therefore inflexible.
A RAM Chip (Random access memory) loses it's stored information when power is lost. A RAM chip can have data written to it. A ROM Chip (Read Only memory) does not lose it's information when power is lost, but it cannot be written to* * There are different types of ROM... ROM (Read Only memory) gets "burned" and cannot be changed. PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) (not sure if they're used much any more) can be erased by exposing to ultra-violet light and re-programmed. EPROM (Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory) - can be re-written electrically with special software.
