I never really pinned the CMOS vs BIOS down as a difference until I watched professor messers video on it. As I understood if from him, CMOS is the actual chip, and BIOS would be considered the software on it. Here's the videos

CompTIA A+ 220-701 - BIOS and CMOS - Part 1 of 4 | Professor Messer - CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, Certification Training

If you haven't watched these yet, I just started, and though it seems a little vague starting out, I see things getting more and more in depth.

How about explaining to us what you know?

It sounds right now like you want someone to do your homework. The definitions themselves are easy, so help us to understand what you specifically NEED to understand.

What books do you have to reference? (Meyers, Sybex, etc..)
What other resources do you have available to you?

Thanks
