RAM (Random Access Memory) is the memory that is generally easiest for the computer CPU to get access to. (How should I distinguish main RAM (main memory??) from the caches that are now usually the "easiest for the CPU to get access to") And, maybe I need a page on the changes that have and will occur in the computer field, and the need / means to stay up-to-date.

Some other types of memory:

• ROM (PROM, EPROM, EEPROM)
• [ volatile | non-volatile ]
• permanent (??)
• disk
• core (magnetic core) -- should I even mention it??
• main memory | cache

Or, am I getting too far afield of the "Wikilearn mission" -- no -- I don't think so -- I may be biting off more than I can chew (at least in terms of time), but hopefully some Wikilearn collaborators will eventually come to my rescue.
