What is a built in memory that can be read from but not written to?
(ROM) Read only memory. example boot manager.
Rom is internal or external memory?
Read Only Memory is the internal memory computers use to start up reliably
What types of memory do notebook computers use?
Hard drive, ROM (read-only memory) and RAM (random access memory)
What is memory reading?
Read Only Memory or ROM, is a type of memory that normally can only be read. As opposed to Random Access Memory or RAM, which can be both read and written.
What is PROM in a computer?
PROM stands for programable Read only memory. it is a nonvolatile memory.
What is PROM stands for in computer?
powertrain read only memory Programmable 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 type of system memory that provides permanent storage for data and instructions that do not change?
Read only memory (ROM)
What Difference between programmable read-only memory erasable programmable read-only memory and electrically erasable read-only memory?
i think programmable read-only memory are chips programmed with content that cannot be erased and erasable programmable read-only memory are chips programmed with content that cannot be erased but can be replaced by using electrical devices with strong ultra violet rays
What are the main differences between ROM and RAM?
RAM is random access memory which can be written to and read. ROM is read only memory which is programmed to do a specific job, it can not be edited after it has been burnt ROM-- When viewing on a computer, Read Only Memory is information you can read and cannot click or cannot make it operable. It is not accessible. RAM--When viewing on a computer, Random Access Memory is information you can access and you can click and you can make it operable. It is accessible.
