A Little Education

Computer CPU or Processor

This is the heart of the PC that allows you to surf the web, do your e-mail or other tasks. ?The speed of the CPU use to run around 500 MHz or less on a single core processor. ?Eventually, the speed got up to 3,500 MHz. ?The problem from here became heat transfer. ?So the industry decided to make the computer do more by making the chips smaller and adding more of them. ?As follows:

  • 1 Core = single core: Old
  • 2 core = dual core: Standard
  • 4 core = quad core: New
  • 6 core = hex core: Gaming
  • 8 core = octi core: Server
  • 12 core = penta core: Server

Computer Memory

When you look at your computer screen, what you see is data that is in memory, not storage. ?The memory in a computer has changed a lot over the years and has become much faster.

In the old days, memory was about 4MB per one modual. ?Today, one modual will hold much much more than that.

DDR, DDR-2, and DDR-3 are types of memory.

Today, you can have a computer with 8GB of memory.

The reason why memory is so important is because it determines how much space the operating system has to work with.

Operating Sysems

The most-used ‘OS’ today is Windows 7, and Windows 8 is coming soon. ?If you do not want to go with Microsoft, your alternatives are Linux or Apple.
