Microprocessor - a silicon chip that controls the computer's logic function with three basic attributes: instruction set, clock speed and bandwidth.
|
|
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) - makes up the main system memory. This system memory is where the PC holds information that is currently in use.
|
|
Clock Speed - determines how fast the microprocessor can carry out instructions.
|
|
Instruction Set / Bandwidth - instruction set is the number of basic functions that the microprocessor can perform and Bandwidth is the number of bits that can be processed per instruction.
|
|
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) - A collection of hard drives attached to a special controller that improves performance by sharing data across multiple drives and improve reliability by having some drives fully duplicated in real time. |
