volatile memory
Volatile memory is a type of memory that loses its data once power to the memory chip is switched off or interrupted.
it used as main memory. It acts as a temporary store for program instructions and data. It can only store things temporarily because it is volatile
Read Only Memory (ROM) is a type of main memory because it is directly accessed by the CPU. Just like RAM, memory locations in ROM can be accessed in any order.
RAM has billions of memory locations but sometimes even that is not enough room for all the data the CPU needs to handle. When RAM gets too full, the computer operating system can help out by temporarily marking sections of secondary storage for the CPU to store data on.
Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is what you will find in a RAM module
Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is commonly used for the cache. This is because it is much faster to access than DRAM.
