COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Cache memory. Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM.

Detailed explanation-2: -RAM is volatile memory used to hold instructions and data of currently running programs. It loses integrity after loss of power. RAM memory modules are installed into slots on the computer motherboard. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is nonvolatile: data stored in ROM maintains integrity after loss of power.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is SRAM. SRAM: Static random access memory (SRAM) loses its content when powered down, and is classified as volatile memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Volatile memory (like SRAM and DRAM) requires power to maintain data, while non-volatile memory (like NAND Flash and NOR Flash) does not require power to retain data. Because of the differences between DRAM and SRAM, DRAM is better suited for main memory and SRAM is better suited for processor cache.
