RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory; ROM is an
acronym for Read Only Memory. Both RAM and ROM are random
access; that is, each cell in memory is directly accessible. The cells in
RAM can be both read from and written to. The cells in ROM can
only be read from. The bit pattern in ROM is determined at the time
of manufacture or burned when the computer is assembled. Once a
ROM has been burned (written), it cannot be changed. Another major
difference is that RAM is volatile and ROM is not. This means that
RAM does not maintain its bit patterns when the power is turned off,
but ROM does.
