cell contains group of bits that are accessed together.The
Size of memory data register is equal to the number of bits
stored in each of the cell. There are two important types of
RAM-Static RAM and dynamic RAM.

written on it. ROM is a non-volatile memory, i.e. the
information stored on it is not lost when power goes off. It
is used for storing the bulk of programs that are permanent
