RAM, or random access memory, can be read and written by the processor and consists of memory chips. ROM, or read-only memory, refers to memory chips that can only be read from and stores permanent data. Memory is measured in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and larger units like petabytes and exabytes, with each larger unit being 1024 times the previous.
