ROM (Read Only Memory)


ROM stands for Read Only Memory. It is a permanent storage area. It contains start up instructions of the computer and information about its hardware devices. It is fixed on the motherboard.

ROM is nonvolatile, i.e. information is not lost when the power is switched off. Data cannot be changed or removed from the ROM that is why it is called, read only memory.
