True.
Although RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory, both RAM and ROM are in fact examples of random access memory. That is because random access memory is memory that can be read or written in any arbitrary order, as long as you address the correct unit of memory. By contrast, sequential access memory, such as a tape, must be accessed in sequence - you must read or write through, or mechanically position, the tape until you reach the unit of memory you wish to access.
In computers, RAM is typically (but not always) both volatile and read/writeable. ROM is typically (but not always) read-only and non-volatile. Volatile means the stored information is lost when the computer is shut off, non-volatile means the stored information persists, usually indefinitely, even after the computer has been turned off.
DDR and DDR2 RIMMS
Yes, or at least Mostly Yes. RAM is random (RAM=Random Access Memory) and most forms of RAM today are volatile. But magnetic core memory (from the 1950s, now only available in museums) is not.
A MB of RAM is one Megabyte of Random Access Memory .Basically a computer only understands bits and bytes so a computer uses GB, MB, TB, and KB, as forms of measurements and it is associated with an amount of data.
Advantages: One of the cheapest forms of data storage. Disadvantage: low density (bulky), not random access (slow).
Non-volatile memory, nonvolatile memory, NVM or non-volatile storage, is computer memory that can retain the stored information even when not powered. Examples of non-volatile memory include read-only memory, flash memory, most types of magnetic computer storage devices (e.g. hard disks, floppy disk drives, and magnetic tape), optical disc drives, and early computer storage methods such as paper tape and punch cards.Non-volatile memory is typically used for the task of secondary storage, or long-term persistent storage. The most widely used form of primary storage today is a volatile form of random access memory (RAM), meaning that when the computer is shut down, anything contained in RAM is lost. Unfortunately, most forms of non-volatile memory have limitations that make them unsuitable for use as primary storage. Typically, non-volatile memory either costs more or performs worse than volatile random access memory.'''Volatile memory''', also known as '''volatile storage or primary storage device''', is [[computer memory]] that requires power to maintain the stored information, unlike [[non-volatile memory]] which does not require a maintained power supply.Most forms of modern [[random access memory]] are volatile storage, including [[dynamic random access memory]] and [[static random access memory]]. [[Content addressable memory]] and [[dual-ported RAM]] are usually implemented using volatile storage. Early volatile storage technologies include [[delay line memory]] and [[Williams tube]].RAM=Volatile memoryROM=NON-Volatile memory
Although memory is technically any form of electronic storage, it is used most often to identify fast, temporary forms of storage. If your computer's CPU had to constantly access the to retrieve every piece of data it needs, it would operate very slowly. When the information is kept in memory, the CPU can access it much more quickly. Most forms of memory are intended to store data temporarily.
False. It forms in the Athenosphere!!
A processor is a chip that is designed to process instructions given to it. It does have onboard memory, but it's not enough to store a large amount of data as it's for temporarily storing information that it will be processing almost immediately (also known as a cache). The user will NOT have access to this form of memory at all. There are two forms of memory that you will see in personal computers: RAM and permanent storage. RAM is short for random access memory. It also works as a cache, but is capable of storing larger amounts compared to the several megabytes a processor has. It stores temporary-use information (and it will stay there until overwritten or if the computer turns off) for the processor to retrieve in the case if it doesn't have it within its onboard caches. Again, the average user will not be able to access this type of memory without special knowledge. "Permanent" storage will stay around even if you turn off the computer. The only way to get rid of the information is to erase it (overwrite) it. Compared to the other two forms of memory, this will usually be one of the slowest forms of memory, but it will have lots more space compared to the first two.
A quad-core processor-based system typically uses various types of memory, primarily dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) for the main system memory, which allows fast access for running applications. Additionally, it utilizes cache memory, such as L1, L2, and L3 caches, which are smaller, faster types of memory located closer to the CPU cores to enhance processing speed by storing frequently accessed data and instructions. Other forms of memory, like solid-state drives (SSDs) or hard disk drives (HDDs), may be used for long-term storage but are not directly tied to the processor's core functions.
Memory is not a verb and does not have participle forms.
