In information theory, units of information are also used to measure the information contents or entropy of random variables. The most common units are the bit, the capacity of a system which can exist in only two states, and the byte (or octet), which is equivalent to eight bits. Multiples of these units can be formed from these with the SI prefixes (power-of-ten prefixes) or the newer IEC binary prefixes (binary power prefixes).
Computer Memory. The system memory is the place where the computer holds current programs and data that are in use. There are various levels of computer memory, including ROM, RAM, cache, page and graphics, each with specific objectives for system operation.f ROM is damaged, the computer system simply cannot function. RAM, or Random Access Memory, is âvolatile.â This means that it only holds data while power is present. RAM changes constantly as the system operates, providing the storage for all data required by the operating system and software.
