Computer Memory

In the International System of Units (SI), a Kilo Byte (KB) is equal to bytes. However, in the context of computer memory, the binary system is often used, where a Kilo Byte (KB) is equal to bytes. Therefore, the correct answer is .

A buffer is a temporary storage area used to compensate for differences in the rates of flow of data between devices. It helps in managing data flow between devices with different speeds.

Cache memory acts as a high-speed buffer between the CPU and the main memory (RAM). It stores frequently accessed data and instructions to speed up processing.

ROM (Read-Only Memory) contains permanent instructions that are used when the computer is powered on. These instructions typically include the boot-up process and basic operations.

PROM stands for Programmable Read-Only Memory. It is a type of ROM that can be programmed by the user after it is manufactured.

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, meaning any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes.

The two main types of memory are ROM (Read-Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). These are essential for storing and retrieving data on a computer.
