   Memory
   Like the human equivalent, computer memory allows the computer to 'remember' information. Memory is separated into two types- RAM and ROM. RAM retains information until it is deleted or lost when power is lost. ROM is stored permanently. An example of this is the Kickstart chips found in the Amiga. It is possible to buy memory in the form of memory boards and different varieties of SIMMS.
