How memory works
- Memory is the work area for the CPU.
- RAM chips are usually grouped on small circuit boards called Dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) and are plugged into the motherboard.
- Information is permanently recorded on the ROM.
When you turn on the computer, the cpu automatically begins executing operating system instructions stored in ROM.
The executing instructions help the system start up.
Once instructions for the operating system are loading into RAM, the CPU is able to execute them.
