- C.
RAM has a slower access time versus ROM.
- D.
ROM has a slower access time versus RAM.
Correct Answer
B. ROM is non-volatile, RAM is volatile.Explanation
ROM stands for Read Only Memory, which means that the data stored in ROM cannot be modified or erased. It retains its information even when the power is turned off, making it non-volatile. On the other hand, RAM stands for Random Access Memory, which is volatile. This means that the data stored in RAM is temporary and is lost when the power is turned off. The major difference between ROM and RAM is that ROM is non-volatile, while RAM is volatile.Rate this question:

- D.
Reduce Random Access Memory (RAM) access time to stored data.
Correct Answer
C. Reduce central processing unit (CPU) access time to stored data.Explanation
The main purpose of system cache is to reduce the central processing unit (CPU) access time to stored data. System cache is a small, fast memory component that stores frequently accessed data and instructions from the main memory. By keeping this data closer to the CPU, it reduces the time it takes for the CPU to retrieve the data, improving overall system performance.Rate this question:
