Across
  1. 3. (aka Northbridge and Southbridge) - the wires that connect the small parts of a computer
  2. 5. optical drive, hard drive(little slower)
  3. 8. converts the high-voltage alternating current (AC) from a wall outlet into the low-voltage direct current (DC) that computer components need to operate.
  4. 9. holds all the components of a computer- allows communication between them all.
  5. 10. controlls everything, tells the CPU what to do
  6. 12. (aka Video Card or GPU) - makes the display show an image - and the calculation that goes with it.
  7. 13. cools the CPU down
  8. 14. 8 bits hold 256 values
Down
  1. 1. CD drive, DVD driver, blue ray, removal medial, USB?
  2. 2. where the commonly used data stored to be sent to the register
  3. 4. CPU and RAM(really fast)
  4. 6. hard term memory - doesn't need to be accessed all the time.
  5. 7. It determines how fast the CPU can execute instructions and synchronize its components, acting as the "heartbeat" of the system
  6. 10. the outside of a computer- it holds everything
  7. 11. the actual data for calculations
  8. 14. they are the smallest unit of data 1/0
