Memory refers to devices that store programs and data for computers. There are different types of memory:
1. RAM allows temporary storage of programs and data for processing. RAM includes SRAM and DRAM.
2. ROM permanently stores programs and data. ROM includes PROM and EROM.
3. Cache memory improves performance by storing frequently accessed data and instructions closer to the processor. It includes L1 and L2 cache.
Secondary memory provides long-term storage and includes hard drives, solid state drives, USBs, CDs, and DVDs. It loads data into RAM for processing by the CPU.
