CPU The "Solution"(CPU) in the digital picture frame is similar to the kind used in DVD player. Memory The digital picture frame has some ROM memory to store the operating system. It might also has some Flash memory, which is where the pictures, settings and some of the operating software live. Both types of memory are persistent -- no data is lost if the unit is unplugged.
