The CMOS, or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, is the chip in a computer that holds the most basic of settings for a computer. These settings include the date, time, and system setup parameters. The most common way to access the CMOS to change these parameters is hitting a specific key during the computer’s initial startup (CMOS, 2013). Since the inception there have been many changes made to the CMOS. The CMOS memory has been changed from analog to digital and the speed at which it is accessed has been increased (CMOS, 2013).
The one thing that has basically stayed the same is the memory size of the CMOS. Since it is only required to hold the basic boot setting
