Regulating all other machine components and transmitting time signals. 2. Information transfer between memory and I/O devices & retrieving information and commands from memory. 3. Instruction decoding Conducting mathematical and logical operations & Running memory-stored programs. 4. Conducting communication between I/O devices and others The RAM of a computer stores data for short-term use (Tyson & Pollette, 2000). RAM collaborates with the hard drive, which is responsible for long-term storage, to offer speedy access to files that the computer is actively reading or writing. RAMs primary role is to temporarily store data being processed by the computer's processor. The computer processing speed is proportional to the speed of the processor and its generation. For example, I7 and i9 12th generation processors have a greater processing speed than duo core and i3 processors, and the larger
