RAM vs ROM
Requires a constant form of power to work
Programs that are turned on and running stored here for better efficiency
Volatile (Elements erased when device is turned off)
Does not require a constant form of power
Start up files are found here
Non-Volatile(Memory that will be saved when turned off)

Chef = CPU
What if you had 2 Chef’s?What if the chef was slow?Counter =
RAMEverything prepared on counterWhat if there was little counter space?

Fridge & Cupboards = Hard DriveAll the food for the kitchen is stored here until it is ready to use. What if it gets too full?
Customer = Computer userIf there isn’t sufficient counter space, or the chef is slow your food is slow

Memory, what’s it all mean?
Bit …… Smallest Unit of Memory
Byte … 8 Bits = Bite
Kilobyte …… 1000 Bites (approx)
Megabyte … 1 Million Bites (approx)
Gigabyte …… 1 Billion Bites (approx) 250 Songs
Terabyte …… 1 Trillion Bites (approx)
Others: Petabyte, Exabyte, Zettabyte, Yottabyte
