BIOS → This is the Basic Input Output System which controls the computer, telling it what operations to perform. These instructions are on a chip that connects to the motherboard.

BYTE → A byte is a storage unit for data.

KB → is a Kilobyte which is 1024 bytes.

MB → is a Megabyte which is a million bytes.

GB → is a Gigabyte, which equals 1000 megabytes.

CPU → This stands for the Central Processing Unit of the computer. This is like the computer’s brain.

MAC → This is an abbreviation for Macintosh, which is a type of personal computer made by the Apple Computer company.
