Types of Memory
- Static memory is non-volatile, meaning it retains data without power; examples include Flash memory.
Hardware Components
- Expansion cards are fixed onto the motherboard in dedicated slots, typically known as PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) or PCIe (PCI Express) slots.
CPU and Memory Location
- The CPU (Central Processing Unit) and memory (RAM) are located on the motherboard, interconnected to facilitate data processing.
Programming Languages in Early Computers
- First generation computers utilized machine language, consisting of binary code, and assembly language, which is a low-level programming language closely tied to machine code.
CACHE Memory Functions
- Cache memory holds frequently accessed data and instructions to speed up processes, improving the performance of the CPU by reducing access time to the main memory.
