ARCHIVED: What is ROM? ROM is an acronym for Read-Only Memory. It refers to computer memory chips containing permanent or semi-permanent data. Unlike RAM, ROM is non-volatile; even after you turn off your computer, the contents of ROM will remain. Almost every computer comes with a small amount of ROM containing the boot firmware.
The data storage capacity of an electronic device or component, measured in RAM or ROM: RAM (random access memory) is that memory immediately available to the CPU, ranging to 1 gigabyte, which is âlabileâ and therefore lost when the device is turned off; ROM (read-only memory) is that memory which is âhard-wiredâ in specifically designed circuitry, comprising a form of permanent software.
