Content
Components of System Units:
- CPU (Central Processing Unit): The brain of the computer that processes all the instructions and performs calculations.
- RAM (Random Access Memory): Temporary memory that stores data and instructions currently being used by the CPU. It helps the computer run programs smoothly.
Disk Drive: A storage device that holds the computer’s long-term data and programs. It can be a hard drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD).
