central processing unit (CPU) - Interprets and carries out basic instructions that operate a computer Heat sinkcomponent with fins that cools processor random access memory (RAM) - Memory chips that can be read from and written to by processor. Also called main memory or primary storage. Most RAM is volatile, it is lost when computers power is turned off. read-only memory (ROM) - Memory chips that store permanent data and instructions. Nonvolatile memory, it is not lost when computers power is turned off. basic input and output system (BIOS) - the first program to run when you turn on your computer. It is stored in a ROM chip on the motherboard. complementary metal-oxide semiconductor memory (CMOS) - Stores date, time, and computers startup information. Maintained by a small battery after you turn the computer off. adapter card - Enhances system unit or provides connections to external devices called peripherals. Also called an expansion card. expansion slot - An opening, or socket, on the motherboard that can hold an adapter card Port connects external devices to system unit Connector joins cable to peripheral

have made to existing files since the backup occurred will not be saved unless you back up your files again. For best results, back up your files every week or immediately after creating important files, such as after you copy pictures from your digital camera.
