13 Differences Between RAM and ROM

Thirteen Differences Between RAM and ROM
Thirteen Differences Between RAM and ROM

Sr # RAM ROM
1 RAM stands for Random Access Memory ROM stands for Read Only Memory.
2 RAM is a temporary memory. ROM is a permanent memory.
3 RAM is a volatile memory. ROM is a non volatile memory.
4 When computer is turned off, all data and programs are
erased from RAM. 		 When computer is turned off, all data and programs are
retained in ROM.
5 RAM is a Read / Write memory. Data can be read and written
to RAM.		 ROM is a read only memory. Data from ROM only can be read
and not written.
6 Data and programs in RAM can be changed. The contents of ROM cannot be changed.
7 Data or programs in RAM can be deleted. Contents of ROM cannot be deleted.
8 The instructions and data  are written (loaded) in RAM
at execution time, when computer is working.		 The instructions in ROM are written at the time of
manufacturing.
9 RAM is used to load data and programs currently running. ROM contains the instructions that help the computer to
start-up and make it ready for work.
10 RAM is much faster than ROM. ROM is slower than RAM.
11 RAM has two main types: Static RAM and Dynamic RAM ROM has three types: PROM, EPROM and EEPROM
12 Physically RAM chip is larger than ROM chip. Physically ROM chip is smaller than RAM chip.

Types Of Network Topology

Today, we will types of network topology . What is a Network Topology? Definition of Network topology is the shape of the network . It is the physical layout of connected devices in a network. It tells us how a network will look like. Network Topology ( Definition 2) : The way in which the connections are made among all the network entities is called the topology of the network. Network Topology ( Definition 3) :Network topology specifically refers to the physical layout of the network, e.g., the location of the computers and how the cable is run between them. Network Topology ( Definition 4) :The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers, and other peripherals. The characteristics of a network depend upon the network topology selected. types of network topology Explain different types of network Topology Different network topologies are as follows: 1. Bus Topology 2. Ring Topology 3. Star Topology 4. Tree Topolo...
