RAM and ROM, secondary storage types, the operating system, and application software.
Memory
RAM (Random Access Memory) — volatile (loses data when off); holds programs/data currently in use.
ROM (Read Only Memory) — non-volatile; holds the start-up instructions (e.g. the bootloader/BIOS).
Virtual memory uses storage as extra RAM when RAM is full.
