Software gives instructions that tell computers what to do. There are two kinds of 
software. The first is System Software and includes programs that run the 
computer system or that aid programmers in performing their work. The second 
kind of software is Application Software, which directs the computer to perform 
specific tasks that often involve the user. 
Memory is the general term used to describe a computer system’s storage facilities. 
Memory’s job is to store the instruction or programs and data in the computer. 
Memory can be divided into two major categories: 1. main memory, 2 auxiliary 
storage. Main memory is also called main storage, internal storage or primary 
storage and is a part of the CPU. Main memory is usually on chips or a circuit 
board with the other two components of the CPU. RAM for Random Access 
Memory, is the storage area directly controlled by the computer’s CPU. Main 
Memory assists the control unit and the ALU by serving as a repository for the 
program being executed and for data as it passes through. RAM or Volatile 
memory so called because its contents are replaced when new instructions and data 
are added, or when electrical power to the computer is shut off. RAM is read-write 
memory, in that it can receive or read data and instructions from other sources such 
as auxiliary storage. 


Another type of memory is ROM or Read Only Memory. ROM holds instructions 
that can be read by the computer but no written over. ROM is sometimes called 
firmware because it holds instructions from the firm or manufacturer. 
Auxiliary storage, also called auxiliary memory or secondary storage, is memory 
that supplements main storage. This type of memory is long-term, Nonvolatile 
Memory. Nonvolatile means that computer is turned off or on.
