Where is the saved BIOS configuration data stored?

All the settings from the BIOS are stored in a chip which is located on the motherboard. That chip is called EEPROM (electrically erasable PROM).BIOS configuration setting is store in special memory called CMOS. Which is little powered by a battery. RAM is volatile so when computer turned off, all data lost.This can also happen with CMOS but due to this purpose it is powered by battery. It consumption of power is very low and it can store data for 1 year.CMOS stand for "Complementary Metal Oxides Semiconductor".

Where is the saved BIOS configuration data sotred?

BIOS configuration data is stored in CMOS memory. That is where all the basic hardware settings are kept. CMOS has traditionally been volatile memory, so a battery is required. Newer BIOSes often use NVRAM.

What is swapping in operating systems?

When you load a file or program, the file is stored in the random access memory (RAM). Since RAM is finite, some files cannot fit on it. These files are stored in a special section of the hard drive called the "swap file". "Swapping" is the act of using this swap file.Aswapping is a mechanism in which a process can be swapped temporarily out of memory to a backing store and then brought back into memory for continued execution.
