Differentiate between Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM)
Answer
| Random Access Memory (RAM) | Read Only Memory (ROM) |
|---|---|
| Data or instructions can randomly be read as well as written onto it. | The stored information can only be read but new information cannot be written onto it. |
| Any information stored in it is lost when the power supply is switched-off. | The information in ROM remains intact even if the power supply is switched-off. |
