User:Page master84/RAM vs ROM

RAM or Random Access Memory, stores information that you can access in any order at any time. It's used to run programs and applications. It is the physical memory of a computer. It is measured in megabytes(MB) and gigabytes(GB). There are many different types such as: Dynamic Random Access Memory(DRAM), Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory(SDRAM),and Static Random Access Memory(SRAM) and there are also Double Data Rate(DDR), two times the Double Data Rate(DDR2), and three times Double Data Rate(DDR3).

ROM or Read Only Memory is memory that holds the instruction for the start up of a computer. These instructions are burned into the Network Interface Card (NIC) and cannot be erased.
