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