It is also known as RAM (random access memory). Main memory is volatile, which means that it loses its contents when the power is turned off.<\/p>\n<p>ROM (read-only memory) is a type of memory that can only be read from, not written to. It is used to store permanent data and instructions, such as the BIOS (basic input\/output system). ROM is non-volatile, which means that it retains its contents even when the power is turned off.<\/p>\n<p>The control unit is a part of the CPU that controls the flow of data and instructions through the computer. It does not store data or instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Coprocessor chips are specialized chips that can perform certain tasks more efficiently than the CPU.
