Processing
• The Central Processing Unit ( CPU):
• Often referred to as the “brain” of the computer.
• Responsible for controlling all activities of the computer system.

• Motherboard: The place where most of the electronics including the

CPU are mounted.

• Primary storage or memory: Is where the data and program that are
currently in operation or being accessed are stored during use.
• Two types:
• RAM (non-permanent)
• ROM (permanent)
