RAM – Random Access Memory: Ram is a form of temporary storage used by windows and any
programs or software that are running in the background or being used by you.  The more RAM the
higher the performance of the system

CPU – Central Processing Unit: The CPU speed determines how fast data is processed. Sometimes referred to as the “brain” on a computer, it makes thousands of calculations in a fraction of a second.

HDD – Hard Disk Drive: This is where your operating system (windows/linux) is stored and run from, Itis also where also your data such as documents, music and video are stored.  The larger the size of the Hard Drive (measured in GB: Gigabytes) the more you can download and store on your computer.  These days a lot of customers are opting to switch to an SSD.  These drives can run up to 10 times the spread, they are a lot more resilient and less likely to fail.

CD or DVD Drive: – Nowadays most computers don’t come with an optical disk drive, however for custom Builds we can add these drives.  For laptops without disk drives, we can supply external drives that can be connected via USB.
