∙ 14y agoYes RAM that is used on the computer is integrated within the motherboard itself. RAM is needed to run every application on a computer or web Browser so every motherboard has a set amount of RAM that is integrated within it when it is built. You can increase the amount of RAM for your computer by putting in RAM cards in rectangular expansion slots that are on the motherboard itself.

∙ 13y agoThe only type of memory directly on a motherboard is read-only memory or ROM. This type of memory usually has the BIOS or Basic Input/Output System burned into it. The BIOS gets a computer started, checks the computer and then hands off to the operating system. The memory is usually termed Flash ROM because it can be changed with a special program.

∙ 12y agoThere are multiple types of memory found on a motherboard. RAM is the primary memory which can be added and removed. Imbedded in the motherboard is cache memory which comes in L1, L2, and L3. Very minute amounts of information are also stored in certain capacitors on the motherboard but these are usually not considered memory by the normal definition.

The chips located on the motherboard that store memory are typically called the "system memory" or "random access memory" (RAM). RAM is a type of volatile memory, meaning that it requires power to maintain its contents. When the computer is turned off, the data stored in RAM is lost.

Are the memory chips and the hard drive the same thing?
No, the memory chips are RAM, Random Access Memory. These are actual chips that fit into slots on the motherboard. This type of memory is temporary memory that your computer uses for current operations. This can be compared to active consciousness. This is what you're aware of at that moment, what's currently happening. The hard drive is memory storage. This is long-term memory. Data can be retrieved from here & brought into RAM, & data can be stored here from RAM. But this is long term memory, and is stored on a disk drive separate from but connected to the motherboard.

If there is L2 cache in the processor housing and additional cache on the motherboard the cache on the motherboard is called cache.?
The motherboard doesn't contain cache. The chips do, but the motherboard contain RAM modules. Like when you hear a PC has 512MB of memory. The cache (memory on the chip) follows lines called a bus to the RAM (memory on the motherboard).Answer: Level 3
