Hardware Components

Processor

The CPU is the central processing unit that can execute commands.

It performs the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system.












RAM

Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of computer data storage.
RAM only allows you to access data from one session, i.e if you creat a word document on your RAM, then forget to save it to your Hard drive you cannot access as it is dumped after the computer is powered off.










Graphics card

A graphics card is an expansion card which generates output images to a display or monitor.

Video hardware is often integrated into the motherboard, however all modern motherboards provide expansion ports to which a video card can be attached.

Expensive Graphics cards are often used for high-tech Gaming purposes.
