The motherboard has a lithium battery on it that is juuuust strong enough to keep the memory from losing its data.
RAM (Random Access Memory). It's also 'loses' and not 'looses'. Enjoy.
ROM
Volatile
Yes, DRAM is a short term memory. It is Dynamic RAM, which means when the power goes off, it looses its contents. SRAM would be Static RAM, which means it saves its memory contents after power supply has stopped.
that's true! ...and NON-volative, by contrast, does lose its contest when the power is removed from the computer.
No it's not. It's volatile memory (That which looses it's data if the power is interrupted).
wich memory type does not loose its data contents when power is removed from the unit
That's called RAM (Random Access Memory). It is what's called 'volatile' memory - in that if power to the chips is removed, they lose their contents.
RAM (random access memory) looses all data when the power goes off. ROM (read only memory) never looses its data ... but it can't be changed either.
flash memory
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the kind of memory that loses its content when the computer power is turned off.
RAM or Random Access Memory
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the kind of memory that loses its content when the computer power is turned off.
inactive
Non-volatile memory can retain its contents through a loss of power, assuming the shutdown was properly performed.
