That's an "interesting" way of putting it.

Do you know what RAM means? It's an acronym for "Random Access Memory," and it's exactly what it's called -- a nice chunk of space where you can store and update data and values, clear those values, and basically manipulate how you please. This is essential for any electronic to have as ROM cannot be modified in realtime (being read-only memory).

RAM = Editable values, can be modified in realtime by the game itself.

ROM = Read only by the game, sorta like a CD in concept -- you can write to it once, but have the rewrite the whole thing when you want to modify it. AKA, you can't change shit in ROM while the game is running.

And that should cover your question, methinks.
