    There are two main types of memory: read-only memory (ROM) and read-write memory (RAM). RAM is volatile and used for main memory, while ROM is non-volatile and used to store firmware like the BIOS. RAM comes in static RAM (SRAM) and dynamic RAM (DRAM) forms, with DRAM needing constant refreshing but being cheaper than SRAM. ROM includes mask ROM, programmable ROM (PROM), erasable programmable ROM (EPROM), and electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM) which can be erased electrically.
