• Magnetic memory - the storage of data using a magnetized medium
• Memory management - the managing of computer memory to ensure maximum performance
• Random access memory - or RAM, the use of integrated circuits to store data accessed in any order with a worst case performance of constant time
• Read only memory - or ROM, data storage that cannot be modified, or that can be modified only with difficulty
• Read-write memory - memory that can be easily rewritten and read, unlike ROM
• Registers - also known as a processor register, the small amount of storage inside a CPU that allows for speedy access to some data, such as addresses
• Semiconductor memory - memory kept on an integrated circuit
