Computer science facts every programmer should know part one. What is the difference between RAM and ROM? RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It's really fast and it stores data for active applications, files and processes, which is really important for multitasking. People call it temporary memory because the RAM is very volatile. Once the computer shut off, the RAM is completely white. ROM on the other hand is read-only memory. It's permanent and non-volatile, meaning it's there even when the computer's turned off. It stores essential information such as BIOS and firmware needed for the computer to boot up and operate.
