RAM -> Random Access Memory

      It is a memory chip which is assembled on motherboard.

      When user types some thing through keyboard and want to store as a file, that data first moves   

         in to RAM and then CPU will move that data to Hard Disk to permanetly store it.

      The data which is present on RAM can be removed and new data can be written so many times

ROM -> READ ONLY MEMORY

     It can be memory chip fixed on motherboard for boot strap program

     It can be CD-ROM, written once and read so many times through CD / DVD Drive

     It can be DVD, wirtten once and read so many times through DVD Drive
