Across
- 1. Bad software
- 3. Usually close to cpu and controls high speed communication between cpu ram and graphics card
- 7. High speed communication pathway that transfers data/signals/power between components
- 8. Electro-Magnetic storage device. Degrades over time
- 10. Temporarily holds instructions for computer during execution
- 12. Central Processing unit and controls everything
- 13. Relies on one or multiple binary inputs to make one binary output
- 14. Time between action and response from computer
- 15. Manages execution of instructions by directing data flow and coordinating hardware components
- 16. Part of a chipset and handles slower non critical functions
Down
- 1. Primary board that connects everything together
- 2. In a cpu and preforms all mathematical and logical operations in computer
- 4. Type of register that acts as temporary storage for instructions
- 5. Storage device that doesn't use moving parts
- 6. Type of register that stores where the data will be taken from or sent to
- 9. A set of chips that manages and handles data flow
- 11. Loads operating system during startup and initializes software
- 12. Holds copies of frequently accessed data so files or data can be accessed faster
- 17. Screen's refresh rate
- 18. A billion hz
