Access Memory
Random Access Memory (RAM) The location
where data is stored temporarily so that it can be retrieved by the
computer processor very quickly instead of writing it to the hard
drive or hard disk. Data stored
in the RAM remains there until the computer is shut down. RAM comes
in a variety of sizes, example 8MB,
16MB, 128MB,
256MB, etc.
Read Only Memory (ROM) Computer memory
that can be read but not written to and is used to boot your computer.
This information is never lost when the computer is shut down.
Registry In systems running Micorsoft
Windows, this is the location where information pertaining to the
state of the computer is kept. It stores information such as a list
of system options that have been selected, any hardware that is attached,
how the computer's memory is set up, and what application
programs should be present when the operating system is started.

Router A device or piece of software
that is usually connected to at least two networks and determines
the next network point to which a packet (or data) should be forwarded
to in order to reach its final destination. In a home or small business,
routers are most commonly used to share Internet
resources among all computers on the network. By managing the IP
addresses of each computer on the LAN,
the router can direct data transfers among the internal computers,
share a single Internet connection among them, and provide basic firewall
protection by closing ports. |
