Compare the two major categories of physical memory: ROM and RAM.

What will be an ideal response?


The two major categories of physical memory compare as follows:
·      RAM - Random access memory is volatile because any data stored in it is lost after you turn the computer off; therefore, it depends on a constant source of power. It's used to store data accessed by the CPU.
·      ROM - Read-only memory (ROM) is nonvolatile memory containing permanent data, such as boot instructions and the system clock. It's considered static and doesn't need a power source to store data.
