Is it true that the main memory is used to store data permanently?
No. It is usually used to help run the programs your are running at that moment and store other associated data.
What the functions of the main memory?
to store data
Distinguish between primary and secondary memory?
Computer memory is categorized into primary and secondary memory. While primary memory is the main memory of the computer which is used to store data or information temporarily, whereas secondary memory refers to external storage devices that are used to store data or information permanently.
When we store data in computer where does it store?
Temporarily DATA is stored in Primary Memory (RAM - Volatile in nature). Permanently DATA is written to Secondary Memory Storage Devices (HDDs, Optical Disks - Non Volatile in nature).
What memory of a computer that stores data permanently?
The CPU
What type of memory can permanently store data until power is removed from the IC without the need for stored data to be refreshed?
the answer would be the SRAM because it store until information is changed or power removed
Is cache memory necessary?
The cache memory is used to store the frequently used data in the main memory in order to avoid the elapse of the seek time taken to read that data in the main memory.. So, to improve the performance of a PC, its necessary to have cache memory.
What is difference between RAM and harddisk?
RAM means Random Access Memory. It store data temporaly. It called primary storing device. The two main forms of modern RAM are static RAM (SRAM) and dynamic RAM. Harddisk is the primary storing device within the computer. It can store data permanently (until you delete the data). It can retain data even after the computer itself "dies". Therefore, one harddisk can be switched to a different computer of similar size. An external harddisk can store huge amounts of data within a desktop unit. It can store data permanently (until you delete the data).
Is any long-term data stored on ram?
Not unless you power it permanently. RAM can only store data as long the power is turned on.
Difference between static memory devices and dynamic memory devices?
static memory devices are those which stores data permanently as long as power is applied. and dynamic memory devices are those in which data is not permanently stored even with power applied,unless data is periodically rewritten into memory.
Used to store data when the data is not being used in memory?
A storage device is used to store data when data is not being used in memory.
Read only memory?
Memory hardware that allows fast access to permanently stored data but prevents addition to or modification of the data.
