ROM: Read Only Memory is used to provide a set of basic system functions, including a power-on self-test (POST) and the ability to boot into more sophisticated system software (the operating system).
RAM: Used by the computer to store software and data in an area easily accessible to the CPU (central processing unit). It is called Random Access Memory, because the memory can be accessed in any order using an addressing scheme. Only data and software stored in RAM can be directly accessed by the CPU.

Compare and contrast RAM and ROM?
RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory; ROM is an acronym for Read Only Memory. Both RAM and ROM are random access; that is, each cell in memory is directly accessible. The cells in RAM can be both read from and written to. The cells in ROM can only be read from. The bit pattern in ROM is determined at the time of manufacture or burned when the computer is assembled. Once a ROM has been burned (written), it cannot be changed. Another major difference is that RAM is volatile and ROM is not. This means that RAM does not maintain its bit patterns when the power is turned off, but ROM does.
