A computer memory chip is the device that replaced (in the early 1970s) the magnetic core memory in computers (that had been used since the early 1950s). Magnetic core memory replaced a variety of other forms of memory (e.g. Williams tube CRT memory, selectron tube memory, flood gun CRT memory, Mercury delay line memory, magnetostrictive delay line memory, rotating magnetic drum memory, long shift register memory) used by earlier computers.

Computer memory (of any type) serves the function of storing instructions and data inside the computer that it will need frequent and rapid access to.

What is the differencebetween on-chip and off-chip memory?

On-chip memory is a memory that resides on microcontroller itself. e.g RAM. It may be one of the Internal RAM or Special Function Register (SFR). Off-chip memory is external ROM or EPROM.

Is memory size of mini computer is higher than micro computer?

Yes, with a small disclaimer. A micro computer, also known as a computer chip or chip is tiny, generally smaller than your finger. The memory available here is contained inside the chip. Size generally around kilo Bytes to mega Bytes. A mini computer is big. It is like a personal computer on steroids but still not as good a super computer. When referring to the memory here we usually think of separate memory modules, just like what you have in your home computer. Size generally from Giga Bytes and up. A mini computer does however consist of chips and this is where my disclaimer comes in. Chips interface external memory (which is also built of chips..) and the only limit here depends on how much the chip can address. Forgive my sloppiness and note that a micro computer chip is quite different from a memory chip, as the memory chip mainly stores and trancieves data while the micro computer can also execute a man made program...
