Hardware Components

Processor











The Processor in simplest terms is the computers brain. It tells the computer when to do something. It decides which is the best path and method to take and is the central component of a computer. Every Operation that is taken place on the computer is either directly or indirectly referred back to the Processor.



Memory

 Memory is used to save and store pieces of work, information and programs. We use this to refer back to useful data.

RAM (Random Access Memory) – The RAM is a quick and easy way to save information.

ROM (Read Only Memory) – The ROM is when the information is stored even when the computer is turned off.
