### 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.

### 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
