RAM allows the computer to read data quickly to run applications. It allows reading and writing.
ROM stores the program required to initially boot the computer. It only allows reading.
RAM is volatile i.e. its contents are lost when the device is powered off.
It is non-volatile i.e. its contents are retained even when the device is powered off.
The two main types of RAM are static RAM and dynamic RAM.
The types of ROM include PROM, EPROM and EEPROM.
