3232### Main Memory
33- • A semiconductor device which stores the
34- information necessary for a program to run.
35- • 2 types
36- • ROM (Read Only Memory)
37- • Contains information that is necessary for the
38- computer to boot up
39- • The information stays there permanently even
40- when the computer is turned off.
41- • RAM (Random Access Memory)
42- • Contains instructions or data needed for a
43- program to run
44- • Gets erased when the computer is turned off.

4642### Central Processing Unit (CPU)
47- • Does most of the work in executing a program
48- • The CPU inside a PC is usually the
49- microprocessor
50- • 3 main parts:
51- • Control Unit
52- • Fetch instructions from main memory and puts
53- them in the instruction register
54- • ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)
55- • Executes arithmetic operations
56- • Registers
57- • Temporarily stores instructions or data fetched
58- from memory

6052#### Storage Devices
61- • A magnetic, optical, magneto-optical or flash
62- device used to store a large amounts of
63- information.
64- • Stores the software components or data
65- needed for the computer to execute its tasks.
66- • Can be “read only” or “writable”.
67- • Example: Hard drive, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW,
68- USB flash drive
