Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Device drivers are loaded into the computer's RAM during startup. RAM is a temporary memory that can be read and written to quickly, which allows the computer to access and utilize the drivers as needed. ROM (Read-Only Memory) and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) are both types of non-volatile memory that are typically used for storing firmware or BIOS data. CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) is a type of chip that stores system configuration data, such as the date and time, but it does not hold device drivers.
