What is the difference between
Main Memory and Auxiliary
Memory with examples?
Main Memory
Main memory acts as a temporary storage area for data and instructions.
Main memory cannot get separated from the computer. It is therefore called
as Internal Memory.
Data and instructions are stored in the main memory from where it can be
retrieved by CPU (Central Processing Unit) for executing tasks.
It is called as Random Access Memory (RAM).
RAM is designed to be very quick in its result processing.
It is volatile in nature (Loses its contents when power is turned off).
