Yes, ROM (Read Only Memory) retains its contents even when the computer is turned off. RAM (Random Access Memory), on the other hand, loses its content the instant power is switched off.

What is the permanent memory that remains in the computer even when it's turned off?
ROM, read only memory.
How do prom and eprom differ from each other?
Ans. Read Only Memory (ROM):Another important part of main memory is Read Only Memory (ROM). Instructions can only be read from ROM. Instructions once written on ROM chip cannot be changed. It is a permanent or non-volatile memory of a computer, i.e. the contents of this type of memory are not lost when the computer is turned off. As soon as the computer is turned on, a program that resides in ROM automatically makes the computer ready for use. ROM is a semiconductor memory generally programmed by the manufacturer.Difference between PROM and EPROM:(Programmable Read Only Memory):It is a non-permanent memory of a computer. It is programmeable read only memory.EPROM (Erasable and programmable Read Only Memory):It is a non-permanent memory of a computer. It is programmeable and erase able read only memory.
What is the Difference between prom and RAM?
PROM is "Programmable Read Only Memory" RAM is "Random Access Memory" Prom is used to retain data even when the computer is turned off. RAM is used by the computer to run applications when the computer is running. RAM is high speed memory that can be read/written while the computer is running. Applications and data are loaded into RAM every time your computer is turned on. PROM, ROM, EPROM are all versions of memory that typically contain the same data every time the computer is turned on.
What is computer memory all about and its function in a computer?
Volatile memory is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information. Non-volatile random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off. There is random access memory, cache memory, read only memory, virtual memory and flash memory.
What are two types of computer memory and their function?
The 2 types of computer memory are ROM and RAM. These stand for Read Only Memory and Random Access Memory, respectively. Read Only memory is the type of memory that is non-volatile, which means that the data contained here is never lost, even when the computer is shut down. RAM on the other hand is the type of memory which is volatile-- which can be lost the moment the computer is turned off. It temporarily just stores the data that's being processed when the computer is on.
How do you read memory on computer?
Computer memory chips, or you can ask your local technician
Does ROM stand for?
In computer science ROM, stands for Read-Only Memory. A type of fixed data storage device that is manufactured with fixed contents. ROM is a non-volatile storage. It keeps its contents even when the power is switched off. It is mainly used in part as fixed storage of the lowest level bootstrap software (firmware) in a computer. Horse Isle Answer: Read Only Memory - Emma Rom stands for Read only memory. ROM has the memory the computer uses to boot up. ROM won't delete unless manually erased.
What is PROM stands for in computer?
powertrain read only memory Programmable Read-Only Memory
What is EPROM in computer terms?
It stands for Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. It's basically a computer chip that can have information programmed onto it - which stays on the chip even when the power is turned off (unlike RAM which is erased when you turn the computer off) The EPROM can be re-programmed by erasing the current information and re-writing new information to it.
What is PROM in a computer?
PROM stands for programable Read only memory. it is a nonvolatile memory.
ROM memory is Non vollatile memory?
Yes. Read Only Memory remains on a chip or a disk. You can not change it. It does not vanish when the computer is turned off. Some programs can access ROM. Sometimes disks crash. You should have backups.
Examples of auxiliary or secondary memory of a computer?
