∙ 15y agoComputer Memory is a type of Computer Storage. Storage refers to all the methods the computer has to store data, including the hard drive, and memory. Memory is used to store data that is needed for current applications so it can be accessed very quickly by the processor. The hard drive, on the other hand, is used to store long-term data that the computer is not currently using. Typically, the hard drive is vastly larger than memory, and takes much longer to read from and write to.

1.Both RAM and ROM are used to store things

How do you use a memory stick as RAM storage?
Plug in you USB flash drive to the USB port and go to MY COMPUTER, then RIGHT CLICK on the DEVICE and click on READY BOOST
Similarities between ram and rom?
There are none as RAM allows random write access while ROM only allows read access (the very reason why it's called ROM because it stands for Read-Only Memory).

What is the difference between single port ram dual port ram and pseudo dual port ram?
The difference between single port RAM and dual port RAM is that single port RAM can be accessed at one address at one time, thus you can read/write only one memory cell during each clock cycle. Dual port RAM has ability to simultaneously read and write different memory cells at different addresses. SPRAM uses a 6 transistor basic ram cell, while the dual port ram cell uses 8 transistor cell for memory. so the area of spram is much smaller than the area of dpram cell. To gain the advantages of both spram (less area) and dpram ( high speed) Pseudo dual port ram is introduced. which can read and write the data in the same clock, using rising and falling edges for the operations respectively, and using spram memory cell for the storage of data.

What is the difference between flash ram and flash rom?
Flash RAM is used for temporary data, such as in a USB drive. Flash ROM is used for bios and system files.
Difference between ram and flash drive?
RAM is volatile, which means when you shut your computer off any data that is in RAM will be erased. For instance start typing a letter in word and shut your computer down after typing 2 sentences and do not save it. When you bring it back up the letter will no longer be there because it was not saved to the hard drive, it was in RAM. A flash drive is non-volatile, which means the data stays in the flash drive even if there is not power to it. It's just like a hard drive.
Can data be copied from a flash drive to RAM memory?
yes
Is it possible to use a flash drive instead of physical ram on a computer that doesn't have ram?
No, you can not use a flash drive in place of RAM. Even if you could, it would not be a good alternative to RAM. Flash drives have a much slower data transfer rate, and a longer access time. Even if this were possible, it would drastically slow your computer down. Windows Vista does have the capability to use a flash drive to improve the computer's performance - it is a feature called ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost allows a flash drive to be an intermediary between the RAM and Virtual Memory. Virtual Memory is stored on your hard drive - it is used to swap items stored in RAM that are not being used to speed up the memory access time for things that are being used. Since Flash Drives are usually faster than hard drives, if you have a small amount of memory on your PC, it can speed it up.
Which has the largest storage capacity ram flash drive dv or hard disk?
12000000 tb
How is Flash Ram different from the other types of Ram?
it has the word "Flash" before Ram
What would give a better increase in performance adding more RAM or adding an equal amount of reserved space on a flash drive?
adding more RAM
What does flash drive means?
The amount of data/information the flash drive can store at one time.
What are the examples of internal memory?
Flash drive, HDD with USB cable, any SD card
How do the hard drive and ram work together?
It is not possible to have your hard drive and RAM to work together. This is because they are different types of memory. Flash memory (the kind in hard drives) are made to retain memory for a long time, even after the device has been powered down. RAM is designed to encode memory quickly, and delete it just as fast. Some amount of the total flash memory is lost when information is deleted. If flash worked in the same conditions as RAM the total memory would quickly start to disappear (along with other unspeakably awful things). And you would never be able to load a file after you turned your computer off if RAM worked in the same conditions as Flash. In Windows 7, you can use what is called ReadyBoost. You designate a specific amount of space in a flash drive or SD card and it functions as pseudo RAM memory. It won't make a huge difference, but it'll hold slower changing RAM values while the actual RAM card deals with faster changing information.
What is an example of a USB flash drive?
Non-volatile storage ram. Ram which remains persistent even when removed from an active power source. Hope this helps.
Does Windows 7 make your computer faster?
It all depends on how much RAM (Random Access Memory) you have. Windows 7 runs smooth with at least 2GB (Giga Bytes) of RAM. I personally have a small laptop with Windows 7 which only has 1GB of RAM and it still runs fine. But if you want your computer to have more RAM on Windows 7, simply insert an external flash drive into your computer that at least has 1GB available. After you insert it, a message on your computer will pop up asking you what you would like to do with the flash drive. One option says "Speed Up My System Using ReadyBoost". Click on that and another box should pop up. Click on the button that says "Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost" and click "Apply". As long as you have the flash drive in, you should have more RAM. I personally have an 8GB flash drive which I use with ReadyBoost and my laptop runs really fast!
