Performance of a computer

Hard drive:

•A hard drive is used to store memory on a computer.

•The size of a hard drive will not effect a computers performance (unless it is near filled) but the speed of which it saves and opens saved files will effect a computers performance

Graphics Card:

•A graphics card is used to display image/video.

•A good graphicscard will improve the speed at which images/videos are processed for viewing on screen significantly meaning less time is used recreating the image.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Processor(s):

•This is used to control all of the functions a computer makes.

•A higher gigahertz processor chip will take less time to make its processes making a computer run faster.

RAM:

•RAM (random access memory) is used as temporary memory for a computer. 

•The more memory of RAM your computer has the faster your computer works because as soon as the RAM memory is full things start to get saved on your hard drive which is a much slower process.
