Computer Performance

Hard Drive - HDD Stores your files, programs, and information. If it gets full, you can’t save any more. Measured in bytes (KB, MB, GB, TB)

RAM - Memory Space for the computer to do it’s work – like a work table. The more RAM, the faster the processor can do it’s job. Measured in bytes (KB, MB, GB)

Processor - CPU The “boss” of the machine, receives and sends instructions to all the other parts. The faster the processor, the faster it does it’s work. Measured in hertz (mHz, gHz)
