What else can I help you with?
The bios chip for ecsd bios is a special ram chip called?
PRAM (permanent RAM )
What type memory is used by bios and devices drivers?
BIOS and drivers use RAM (random access memory) however, in different forms. The BIOS is essentially a small chip of RAM that houses the code for running the operating system and the hardware. This hardware is controlled by the device drivers which run on the operating system which uses separate RAM which has a far greater capacity than the BIOS. this RAM is also shared by the operating system and is usually found in sticks that plug into the motherboard. the BIOS can operate without RAM but not the other way around
Is bios an example of a rom or ram?
The BIOS is stored on ROM.
Where does SCSI host a adapter store its BIOS?
option bios
Can bios upgrade enable me to exceed maximum ram?
Very unlikely. The amount of RAM that is supported is determined by the chipset, not the BIOS.
What is the purpose of cmos ram?
The purpose of CMOS RAM is to hold the BIOS program as it is executed by the processor. BIOS is the first program to be loaded when a computer is powered on.
Where is the CMOS RAM typically located?
Memory Modules
What is the kernel called when it stays in RAM?
BIOS file
Is BIOS volatile or non volatile?
BIOS is a program (stored in ROM), not a memory.However the BIOS uses a battery backed up RAM to store a variety of settings and parameters. This BIOS RAM is itself volatile (it can only store data when powered), however the battery backup provides power to this RAM when the main power of the computer is off (making it act as if it were nonvolatile). When this battery dies the BIOS RAM will lose its data and (after the battery is replaced) the machine may have to be reconfigured from scratch before the machine will startup correctly.

What does ram and rom stores?
BIOS, OS, communication protocols,...
Why is programming code that is stored in ROM BIOS sometimes copied to RAM What is?
Programming code stored in ROM BIOS is sometimes copied to RAM to enhance system performance and speed up execution. RAM is significantly faster than ROM, allowing the CPU to access and execute the BIOS code more rapidly. This practice also enables the system to modify or update the BIOS settings dynamically during operation, facilitating better management of hardware components. Additionally, accessing BIOS functions from RAM can reduce wear on the ROM, extending its lifespan.
