A computer motherboard normally contains two types of storage.
the most important in use is the RAM which is 'volatile storage'.
This memory is said to be 'volatile' because when the computer is switched off and there is no power available to the memory all the stored information is lost.
A computer motherboard also has a quite small amount of 'non-volatile memory' which is used to store the BIOS programs and settings. The advantage of non-volatile memory is that when the power is removed the data remains as it was and can be accessed again when power is restored. However this type of storage is both relatively slow and relatively expensive.
