Games are stored on ROM cartridges because ROM (Read-Only Memory) provides a non-volatile storage solution that retains data even when power is off, making it ideal for permanent game storage. In contrast, RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile and loses its data when power is turned off, making it unsuitable for long-term game storage. ROM cartridges also allow for easy distribution and consistent performance across different gaming systems. Additionally, ROM is typically more cost-effective for manufacturers compared to RAM.
ROM
The BIOS is stored on ROM.
Information stored in RAM can be accessed far faster than information stored in ROM. Thus, a computer might store its boot-up instructions in ROM, but store program files in RAM after initial boot-up.
No. In modern computers, programs are not stored on a ROM chip, but on the hard drive.
A microwave oven according to the invention have one-chip microprocessors including a ROM, a RAM and an I/O port. In the ROM a permanent program for controlling the RAM, a data input unit and a display unit is stored. Data is coupled from the data input unit and stored in the RAM according to the permanent program.
CMOC RAM and ROM
Some is stored in ROM; most of the information is typically stored on the hard disk, from where it is loaded into RAM.

ROM, as in CD-ROM, refers to the way in which you access the stored data, i.e. Read-Only Memory. RAM (Random Access Memory) is the amount of memory a computer can access to complete a given action. The more RAM, the quicker the action can be performed.
