*📚 RAM 💾 vs ROM 📀 – What’s the Difference?*
*RAM (Random Access Memory) 💾:*
- Purpose: Temporary memory used for processing tasks.
- Volatility: *Volatile* – data is lost when power is off. ⚡
- Speed: Very fast; helps your apps and OS run smoothly. 🚀
- Usage: Stores app data, open files, OS tasks while working. 🖥️
- Upgrade: Can be increased in most systems. ⬆️
- Examples: Running a game, editing a file, multitasking. 🎮📂
- Control: Read/Write – both operations are allowed. ✍️
- Dependency: Crucial for speed and performance. 🧠
*ROM (Read Only Memory) 📀:*
- Purpose: Permanent memory used to store firmware.
- Volatility: *Non-volatile* – data stays even without power. 🔋
- Speed: Slower than RAM. 🐢
- Usage: Stores boot instructions, BIOS, system firmware. 🛠️
- Upgrade: Not usually upgradable. 🔒
- Examples: Power-on start instructions, embedded system code. ⚙️
- Control: Mostly *read-only*, not meant for writing. 📖
- Dependency: Essential for system startup. 🧩
💡 *Pro Tip:* RAM = Working memory 🛠️, ROM = Startup guide 📘
