What else can I help you with?
What stores data and programs while you are using them?
The computer's Random Access Memory (RAM) temporarily stores data and programs while your computer is on.
What computer memory stores programs to boot your computer?
Rom
What temporarily holds data and programs while computer is on?
The RAM (random access memory) usually stores temporary files and cache to help speed up your computer by not having to repeatedly load the same thing but is you do not restart your computer the RAM will become full and it will slow down your computer so every now and then just restart the computer for best performance.
What part of a computer stores data programs settings and the operating system while the computer is off?
The part of a computer that stores data, programs, settings, and the operating system while the computer is off is the hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD). These storage devices retain information even when the power is turned off, allowing for data retrieval when the computer is powered back on. In contrast, RAM (random access memory) only holds data temporarily while the computer is on.
What is storage of a computer?
The storage of a computer is in the hard drive. There is also the random access memory which temporarily stores data.
What stores programs and dat that are not currently being used by the CPU?
The component that stores programs and data not currently being used by the CPU is called RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM temporarily holds data and instructions that the CPU may need for quick access while executing tasks. When the system is powered off or when programs are closed, data in RAM is lost, as it is volatile memory. For long-term storage, data is saved on non-volatile storage devices like hard drives or SSDs.
What part of the computer temporarily stores meomry while its on?
It stores the temporary data in its RAM (random access memory). That's why higher the RAM, more is the temporary data that can be stored and hence more number of programs or softwares can be run concurrently (or a program with higher memory requirement will run faster)
What is the name of the device that stores programs and data in a computer?
File
When a computer is off what is in RAM?
Nothing. RAM only stores temporarily data which means when your computer shuts down or resets, all data in RAM is lost.
Difference between cache memory and ram?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is used to store information for the programs running now while the computer is powered. Cache memory is RAM that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM.
Size of computer memory refers to RAM or hard disk?
RAM (Random Access "Memory") stores information temporarily while the power is on. Hard Disk "Space" stores information permanently regardless of whether the power is on or off. Computer specifications usually specify RAM as system "memory" (like 2GB DDR2 MEMORY) and refer to Hard Disk storage as "Hard Drive(s)", system "storage", or "Disk Space" (like 320GB HARD DRIVE). Think of the Hard Drive as a storage shed and the RAM as the playground. The computer gets the programs/data from the hard drive and pulls them out temporarily into the playground for you to use, then stores them back in the shed when you are done.
What hardware component stores programs and data that are currently being used by the CPU?
UDSBXBSH
