Memóriamegység

Memóriamegység is a Hungarian term that translates to "memory unit" or "memory module." It generally refers to a component within a computer system that stores data. The most common type of memóriamegység is random-access memory (RAM), which is volatile memory used for temporary data storage and active program execution. When the power is turned off, the data stored in RAM is lost.

Another form of memóriamegység is read-only memory (ROM). Unlike RAM, ROM is non-volatile, meaning it retains its data even without power. ROM typically stores firmware or essential system instructions that are needed to boot up the computer. Over time, the concept of ROM has evolved to include flash memory, which can be written to and erased, offering a blend of ROM's non-volatility with some of RAM's flexibility.

In a broader sense, memóriamegység can also encompass other forms of storage, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs), which are used for long-term data storage. However, when used in the context of a computer's immediate operational needs, it most frequently refers to RAM modules. The performance and capacity of the memóriamegység significantly impact a computer's overall speed and multitasking capabilities.
