brief: A router essentially determines which way is the shortest or fastest in a network, and routes packets accordingly. It works at layer 3 of the OSI model, moving packets from one port to another based on L3 addresses - ie. IP addresses, IPX addresses, etc. A bridge connects one point to another in a network permanently. It works at layer 1 and 2 of the OSI model.

Whats the difference between copy running-config startup-config and Write Memory On a Cisco Switch or Router?

The difference is that the write mem command is being discontinued. It is being replaced by the copy command and is the one you should use on the cisco tests. I still use this command on some routers such as 831, 871, 3002, 2950, 2600 however it appears that as of IOS 12 it will be gone. Hope this helps!
