Information Processing/Word Core – 2/10/2009

Today we coverd chapter 4, which is hopefully gives you a better understanding of computers and which computer would work for you.  We spoke about things such as determining processor speed (measured in GHz) as well as number of cores (number of processors inside the one chip “package”.  We talked about why it’s so important to have a lot of RAM and also about how inexpensive RAM has become lately.  Hard disk drives (HDDs), monitors, ports and much more filled the rest of the class.

Remember, next week we’ll have a test over the first four chapters!  Make sure you’re ready!

Homework:

• Chapter Four: Multiple Choice/True-False Questions
