Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to run multiple programs at the same time, Joy will need more RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM is a type of computer memory that is used to temporarily store data and instructions that the computer is currently using. The more RAM a computer has, the more programs it can run simultaneously without slowing down or crashing.ROM (Read-Only Memory) is a type of non-volatile memory that stores the boot-up instructions for the computer and other firmware. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is firmware that performs hardware initialization during the boot-up process. Firmware is a type of software that is embedded in hardware devices. None of these options would directly increase the computer's ability to run multiple programs simultaneously.
