What component of the computer is responsible for temporary storage of information?
RAM (Random Accessed Memory) is "temporary" storage. It is temporary because the type we use in desktops PC's is called, volatile. This means, when power is lost, so is all data stored in memory.
The temporary storage location for text or graphics to be copied to another location within a document?
The clipboard.
Difference between internal storage and external storage of a computer system and give examples of each?
Internal storage of a computer means the memory type that resides inside the computer primarily the internal hard disk drives (or more modern solid state drives). External storage devices include the USB memories, External or network storage drives on which data is stored outside the main computer body.
The greatest nonvolatile storage capacity in the computer system is found in the?
The greatest nonvolatile storage capacity in the computer system is usually found in secondary storage and mostly on the hard disk. RAM on the other hand represents the greatest volatile storage capacity on a computer.
If you have 256mb on a computer and replace it with 2g because that is the total capacity will you lose your information?
Presumably you are talking about replacing (upgrading) system RAM, as its been a long time since 256mb or 2 gb hard drives were common. That being said, replacing the RAM in your computer will have no effect on the data stored on your computer. Long-term storage of user data is done with the hard disk. System RAM is temporary storage only, and is wiped every time the computer is powered down.
The component of the computer that is responsible for temporary storage of information is known as?
RAM
What component of the computer is responsible for temporary storage of information?

Which parts of computer performs storage operation?
Permanent storage on a hard drive Temporary storage on ram memory.
A computer's temporary memory is called?
Temporary storage in a computer is designated as RAM (Random Access Memory), and gets reset every time the computer is shut down; unlike permanent storage (Harddrives, Flash Drives). RAM allows a computer to run programs without bogging down the harddrive, which is much slower by comparison.
Where is a byte's temporary storage location in memory?
A byte's temporary storage location in memory is RAM. The process of translating instructions into signals the computer can execute is a tower.
What is parts of computer provide only temporary storage of file?
RAM memory.
What are hard disks?
The storage component of your computer, where all your files and operating system are stored.
What is the temporary storage unit on a computer?
Programmers often think of a computer as having only one temporary storage area, the random access memory (RAM). People using a computer often use a temporary storage location called the "clipboard". See "The what is a temporary holding area in your PC's memory that holds information you want to cut or move from its current location?" for details. The people who write operating systems and the computer architects that design computer systems and CPUs often use many different temporary storage areas, each one with a different name. Many of these temporary storage areas are stored in chips of silicon -- see the "What is temporary storage on chips called?" for details. Other temporary storage areas are stored on the hard drive -- such as the web page cache, the hibernation file, and the virtual memory swap file.
Which programming component provides a temporary named storage location in computer memory that cannot change during program execution?
The programming component that provides a temporary named storage location in computer memory that cannot change during program execution is called a constant. Constants are used to hold fixed values that remain the same throughout the execution of a program. They enhance code readability and prevent accidental modification of critical values. Examples include numeric literals, string literals, or named constants defined using specific syntax in various programming languages.
What is one use for a flash drive?
To transfer files from one computer to another computer in a different location. Also can be used as temporary storage.
What is the biggest computer storage space?
If you are asking what the largest storage component in a personal computer is, that would be the hard drive. The hard drive is a non volatile storage medium. Meaning it holds its data, even when the power is turned off.
Which storage is temporary?
Temporary storage is usually referring to RAM -- Random Access Memory. Data stored in RAM only exists while the computer has power (nothing is saved).
