Computer memory can store information as long as there is power to the computer, that means when you turn the computer off you loose the information in the memory. Computer storage, which includes, floppy disks, the hard disk, cd's, rewritable cd's all store information that remains safe when no power is applied, similar to RECORDS and VIDEO tapes. It can be changed and edited by the system as needed but remains safe. So when you go back to the computer later it's still there available.

∙ 16y agoHere is a link to some information on computer memory. I went to crucial.com to add 1GB of memory to my computer a couple of years ago, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you are looking to upgrade your PC, Crucial can scan your computer and make recommendations.
