200
is a type of "built-in" memory that is capable of holding data and having that data read from the chip, but not written to.
What is ROM
200
device that keeps the overall computer or a computer device cool by circulating air to or from the computer or component.
What is a Fan
300
is an integrated circuit on the motherboard that is responsible for the hard drive controller, I/O controller and integrated hardware such as sound card, video card if present on the motherboard, USB, PCI, ISA, IDE, BIOS, and Ethernet.
What is the Southbridge
300
allows the processor to work more efficiently by processing two sets of instructions at the same time, making it look like two logical processors.
What is Hyper-Threading
300
uses windows, icons, and menus to carry out commands such as opening files, deleting files, moving files, etc. and although many Operating Systems are operated by using a mouse, the keyboard can also be used by using keyboard shortcuts or arrow keys.
What is a GUI
300
whose contents are erased when the system's power is turned off or interrupted.
What is volatile memory
300
is an internal hardware component used to supply the components in a computer with power by converting potentially lethal 110-115 or 220-230 volt alternating current (AC) into a steady low-voltage direct current (DC) usable by the computer.
What is PSU

commonly used for intensive processing demands and improves the computer's overall processing efficiency
What is a dual processor system
400
is a single chip processor located on the video card that handles the processing for 2D or 3D graphics.
What is GPU
400
is any memory or storage that will be saved regardless if the power to the computer is on or off.
What is non-volatile memory
400
is an expansion card or integrated circuit that provides a computer with the ability to produce sounds that can be heard by the user either over speakers or headphones.
