Name the three types of memory mentioned on the motherboard in the Von Neumann architecture.

 In the Von Neumann architecture, the three types of memory commonly found on the motherboard are:

  • Primary memory (RAM) – Temporary storage for data and instructions the CPU is actively using.
  • Secondary memory (hard drive, SSD) – Long-term storage for operating systems, applications, and user data.
  • Cache memory – A small, high-speed storage located close to the CPU that stores frequently accessed data to speed up processing.
