Study Notes
Processor Speed
- Measured in gigahertz (GHz)
- Higher GHz means faster processing
- May include details like brand, model, number of cores
Random Access Memory (RAM)
- Measured in gigabytes (GB)
- More RAM means more simultaneous tasks
- Type and speed (MHz) of RAM are important
Hard Disk Space
- Also called ROM
- Measured in gigabytes (GB)
- Determines how much data the computer can store
Other Specifications
- Network adapters (Ethernet or Wi-Fi)
- Audio and video capabilities
Clock Speed
- Measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz)
- Represents the rate a processor completes processing cycles
- 1Hz = 1 cycle per second
- 1MHz = 1,000,000 cycles per second
Processor Speed
- Processor speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz).
- A higher GHz value indicates a faster processor.
- Processor specifications may include brand, model, number of cores.
Random Access Memory (RAM)
- RAM is measured in gigabytes (GB).
- More RAM allows a computer to perform more tasks simultaneously.
- RAM specifications include type and speed (usually in MHz).
