RAM AND ROM


The difference between Ram and Rom are given below:

  1. Ram stores data temporally and Rom stores data permanently.
  2. Ram is volatile type; on the other hand Rom is non volatile type.
  3. Ram holds data and program instruction while the CPU works with them; Rom holds data instruction that the computer needs to operate.
  4. When a program launched it is loaded into and run from memory for faster access; When computers power turned on it checks ROM for direct instruction or direction that helps it start up and inform about it hardware device.
  5. Rams data is always readable and rewritable; Rom’s data is non rewritable.
