Name one way BIOS and drivers are them same Name one way they are different?
1. Both relate to hardware, but device drivers are stored in hard drive
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

What is the difference between the BIOS and a device driver?
Well,the basic input/output system (BIOS) on a computer is a simple yet important program on a personal computer (PC) that helps the computer properly boot and run an operating system (OS) during startup. BIOS drivers are typically used in reference to the program itself, and how the program runs and interacts with other devices on the computer. The BIOS drivers on a computer are saved on a small battery located on the motherboard and allow for the proper initialization and startup of a computer when powered on. In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.
