Many people use computers in their daily lives. At the same time, people often have trouble remembering the different components of a computer. Now I introduce you what is the CPU. CPU is short for central processing unit. The CPU is the part of the computer that is most responsible for the computer's speed. The CPU's processing speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz). The CPU can be thought of as the computer's "engine" with the GHz corresponding to an engine's horsepower. Random access memory (RAM) is the computer's temporary memory. It is measured in gigabytes (GB) and is used as needed to complete tasks. The hard drive is the storage area. Every file on a computer is stored on the hard drive. The operating system or OS, is the software program that a computer uses to perform functions. Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux are examples of operating systems. The operating system is the software that runs all the programs on the computer.
