What is so different? Well for starters ROM (read-only memory) is a computer memory attached to the motherboard inside a system unit. It is made up of nonvolatile chips that hold or store data or programs permanently even if the system is shut off. RAM (random access memory), on the other hand is the system unit's main memory, this memory stores important parts of the operating system as well as programs and data the computer is using at the time. This memory card is made up of volatile chips which means that the content is lost when the system is shut off. The big difference with RAM is that it can be plugged and unplugged from the motherboard because it attaches to slots within the motherboard. And the best thing about this type of memory is that users can add more RAM to their systems; this helps with the computers performance because it transfers data at a faster rate. So, yeah! These are some of the differences between ROM and RAM.
