NVRAM vs Flash

Whenever I see a question regarding where something is stored like the IOS, I usually miss the question.

I'm looking for some help in an easy way to remember what's held where.
Normally, I use nemunics to remember things that give me trouble, so something like that would be helpful.

For example: All Persons Seem To Need Data Processing, or Dave Saw Paul From Below (I'm sure you guys can figure those out).

Flash is usually where the IOS is stored

NVRAM - Non volitile random access memory - Usually where the configuration file is stored

RAM - What your running-config(as in once it has loaded conf file) is held in....
