Random Access Memory is the working memory in which the operating system, the running programs and the data in use are held, and everything in it is lost the moment the power supply stops, which is exactly what volatile means.

CMOS stands for complementary metal oxide semiconductor, and a small chip of that type on the motherboard stores the BIOS setup values such as the boot order, the date and the time.

Released by Intel in 1971, the 4004 put a complete central processing unit on a single chip for the first time in a commercial product and was a 4-bit processor, originally designed for a calculator.
