Understanding Memory Types in Computers

What are registers in the CPU?

• Small, high-speed storage locations

• Large, slow storage locations

• External storage devices

• Permanent storage for data

What is the main purpose of cache memory?

• To store data permanently

• To reduce access time to frequently used data

• To increase RAM capacity

• To store data in external devices

What is the nature of RAM?

What is the difference between DRAM and DDR?

• DRAM transfers data once per clock cycle, DDR transfers twice

• DRAM is faster than DDR

• DDR is used in older systems, DRAM in modern systems

• There is no difference

What is ROM used for?

• Storing temporary data

• Storing permanent instructions or firmware

• Storing frequently accessed data

• Storing data in cache

What does ROM stands for?

What stores the basic firmware that starts the computer and loads the operating system?

• RAM

• ROM

• SSD

• HDD

What type of memory is used in embedded systems like microwave ovens and printers?

• RAM

• ROM

• Flash Memory

• Cache

What is the main difference between ROM and RAM?

• ROM is temporary, RAM is permanent

• ROM is non-volatile, RAM is volatile

• ROM can be modified, RAM cannot

• ROM is faster than RAM

What are the key characteristics of secondary memory?

• Non-volatile, larger capacity, slower access speed

• Volatile, smaller capacity, faster access speed

• Non-volatile, smaller capacity, slower access speed

• Volatile, larger capacity, faster access speed
