LESSON 4

READ ONLY MEMORY

Chips that are located on the
motherboard.
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
Temporary storage for data
and programs that are being
accessed by the CPU.
OPTICAL DRIVE
A storage device that uses
lasers to read data on the
optical media.
HARD DRIVE
A magnetic storage device
that is installed inside the
computer
FLOPPY DRIVE
A storage device that uses
removable 3.5inch disks.
FLASH DRIVE/THUMB DRIVE
A removable storage device
that connects to a USB port.
MEMORY MODULE
Soldered the memory chips
on a special circuit board.
REGISTERS
Memory cells built right into
the CPU that contain specific
data needed particularly the
Arithmetic and Logic Unit.
IDE
Early drive controller
interface that connects
computers and hard disk
drives which an interface that
uses a 40-pin connector.
DDR
Technology that doubles the
maximum bandwidth of
SDRAM.
