ROM (Read Only Memory) stores the information currently being used by the computer. It holds all your loaded programs, and the data that goes along with them, waiting for the processor to make use of the information (to process it, if you will).
RAM (Random Access Memory) is memory which cannot be changed. This would be information hard-wired into your electronic device. For a computer, this might be the default BIOS and BIOS settings.

ROM (Read-Only Memory) is memory which cannot be changed, it is set by the manufacturer and contains the Basic Input Output System (BIOS)
Cache
ROM is burned with a ROM/PROM burner (small computer with pin outs for a lot of IC's) - RAM is filled by the motherboard/memory controller on a mainboard.
Most data is stored on the computers hard disk drive, but it can be quite slow to retrieve data from the hard drive. RAM, however is very quick when it comes to retrieving data, so the computer transfers programs and files into the RAM when they are in use.
Programs stored in ROM are sometimes referred to as firmware.In recent years, however, the term firmware is used as a more general term, often referring to software preloaded into a device, but not necessarily in reference to its immutable nature. In fact, most modern devices store firmware in non-volatile but modifiable memories such as flash memory to allow for upgrading and patching.
You might be talking about the BIOS, the Basic Input Output System stored on a ROM chip on the Computer Mainboard. It is the initial boot code run by the pc.
ROM
The BIOS is stored on ROM.
rom
Information stored in RAM can be accessed far faster than information stored in ROM. Thus, a computer might store its boot-up instructions in ROM, but store program files in RAM after initial boot-up.
No. In modern computers, programs are not stored on a ROM chip, but on the hard drive.
A microwave oven according to the invention have one-chip microprocessors including a ROM, a RAM and an I/O port. In the ROM a permanent program for controlling the RAM, a data input unit and a display unit is stored. Data is coupled from the data input unit and stored in the RAM according to the permanent program.
CMOC RAM and ROM
Some is stored in ROM; most of the information is typically stored on the hard disk, from where it is loaded into RAM.

RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory; ROM is an acronym for Read Only Memory. Both RAM and ROM are random access; that is, each cell in memory is directly accessible. The cells in RAM can be both read from and written to. The cells in ROM can only be read from. The bit pattern in ROM is determined at the time of manufacture or burned when the computer is assembled. Once a ROM has been burned (written), it cannot be changed. Another major difference is that RAM is volatile and ROM is not. This means that RAM does not maintain its bit patterns when the power is turned off, but ROM does.
