The Read Only Memory (ROM) chips
hold information that has been built
into them. The RAM chips can
remember what you tell them. But
the only thing these two kinds of
chips can remember are "on" and
"off".
The memory chips are divided into
thousands of little compartments
called bits. Each bit is either
"on" or "off." The bits are grouped
together in eights.
Each group of eight bits is
called a byte.
There are 256 possible
combinations of "on" or "off" in a
group of eight. You can see how you
can count with these:
