Exploring Computer Memory

What is computer memory?

• Computer memory refers to the computer's power supply.

• Computer memory is the software that runs applications.

• Computer memory is the physical hardware of a computer.

• Computer memory is the component that stores data and instructions for processing in a computer.

Name the two main types of computer memory.

• Primary memory and secondary memory

• Cache memory and virtual memory

• Flash memory and hard disk

• RAM and ROM

What does RAM stand for?

• Random Access Memory

• Rapid Access Module

• Read Access Memory

• Random Allocation Memory

What is the purpose of RAM in a computer?

• To permanently store the operating system files.

• To increase the computer's internet speed.

• The purpose of RAM in a computer is to provide temporary storage for data and instructions that the CPU needs for quick access and processing.

• To manage the power supply of the computer.

What does ROM stand for?

• Read-Only Memory

• Rapid-Only Memory

• Random-Only Memory

• Read-Only Module

How is ROM different from RAM?

• RAM is non-volatile and retains data without power.

• ROM is faster than RAM.

• ROM is used for temporary storage while RAM is for permanent storage.

• ROM is non-volatile and retains data without power, while RAM is volatile and loses data when power is off.

Can data in RAM be lost?

• Yes, data in RAM can be lost.

• No, RAM is permanent storage.

• Yes, but only if the power is on.

• No, data in RAM is always safe.

What type of memory is used for permanent storage?

• Volatile memory

• Non-volatile memory

• Cache memory

• RAM

What is cache memory?

• Cache memory is a slow storage area used for backup purposes.

• Cache memory is a type of permanent storage for all data.

• Cache memory is a high-speed storage area that temporarily holds frequently accessed data and instructions for quick retrieval by the CPU.

• Cache memory is a type of RAM that stores all operating system files.

Why is cache memory important?

• Cache memory is used to store large files permanently.

• Cache memory decreases the overall system performance.

• Cache memory is only relevant for graphics processing units.

• Cache memory enhances processing speed by storing frequently accessed data for quick retrieval.
