cache-don't know disk drive-that's where the data and programs are stored. You have a hard drive in your computer. A diskette drive refers to the black 1.44 mb diskettes. Still used today. megahertz-Is a measurement of speed at which the processor processes the data memory-is R.A.M (random access memory) That's where data is temporarily stored. It's erased when power is turned off. R.O.M. Read Only Memory. That is permanent memory that can't be changed. sound card-that's where the digital sound is converted to electrical impulses for the speakers. video card-that creates the video image from the computer to the monitor. motherboard-thats the main circuit board that contains the processor and all other vital components to work the other components. Electronic books on how a computer works can help you with identifying computer parts.
