Memory refers to physical devices used to

store programs or data. Primary memory

refers to any type of memory that functions at
high-speed (ie. RAM)

1. RAM
2. ROM
3. Cache
4. Static Memory
5. Dynamic Memory
6. Flash Memory

Cache must come before USB Drive

ROM stands for Read-only Memory. It is

referred to as a permanent form of memory.

Basic Input/Output System is a firmware

interface that is used to test a computers
hardware components during receival of initial
power.

RAM, also known as Random-access memory is

a form of memory used for quick reception of
memory once stored. Static RAM was a popular
choice over dynamic RAM due to its
operational speeds and performance versus
Dynamic RAMs sizeable storage.

RAM can typically store data and programs

such as ROM, the computers OS, and the BIOS
settings.

When an application is closed with data still

stored in the RAM, the system will delete and
reprioritize the RAM to what is most required,
simultaneously purging the data from the
system.

Read-only/ Write-only memory is popular due

to its lack of errors in chips.

The amount of bits in a CPU is how many bytes

that CPU can access. A 64-bit CPU can process
8 bytes at a time.

Cache Memory

Registers are memory cells specifically built

into the CPU. They contain particular data
needed for the CPU. They are at the peak of
the memory hierarchy.
