I've started using a computer for our computer class in kindergarten, but of course I had no idea at that time about any of the PC components. I used a computer solely for gaming purposes.

Now, I use a computer not just to play Solitaire anymore - I use it to interact on social websites, download files, listen to music on iTunes, create my essays on MS Word, stalk my favourite actors/actresses online, browse photos, etc. Will my computer able to handle all the tasks properly?
There are a lot of components in a computer, but I learned about the 3 most important components of a computer that we should consider:
✓ RAM
✓ Hard drive
✓ Processor
RAM HARD DRIVE
- the primary storage - the secondary storage
- stores files temporarily - stores files permanently
- copies files faster than hard drive - copies files slower than ram
PROCESSOR
- brain of the computer
- executes tasks
*My friend and I actually consider this when we hunt for cheap efficient phones. We knew that they were important but I wasn't sure about their different purposes. We just know that they need to have high "values".
Lastly, I learned that you can make your computer faster by upgrading/adding RAM in the motherboard (it's cheaper than buying a processor). I have a 5 year old laptop and I'm thinking of upgrading its ram since it would be a waste to leave it behind and I cannot afford to buy a new one right now. I hope that buying these components will be more affordable in the future!
