Grade 11 ICT Short Note

RAM temporarily stores data and is volatile, meaning data is lost when power is removed. There are two main types of RAM: DRAM and SRAM. ROM permanently stores low-level instructions for starting the computer and is non-volatile. There are three types of ROM: PROM, EPROM, and EEPROM. Cache memory acts as an intermediary between the CPU and primary memory to improve performance.
