Is BIOS volatile or non volatile?

BIOS is a program (stored in ROM), not a memory.However the BIOS uses a battery backed up RAM to store a variety of settings and parameters. This BIOS RAM is itself volatile (it can only store data when powered), however the battery backup provides power to this RAM when the main power of the computer is off (making it act as if it were nonvolatile). When this battery dies the BIOS RAM will lose its data and (after the battery is replaced) the machine may have to be reconfigured from scratch before the machine will startup correctly.
