H3><P>Hard disks were invented in the 1950s.They started as large disks up to<BR>
20 inches in diameter holding just a few megabytes. They were originally
<BR>
called "fixed disks" or "Winchesters" (a code name used for a popular IBM product.
<BR>
They later became known as "hard disks" to distinguish them from "floppy disks.
<BR>
Hard disks have a hard platter that holds the magnetic medium, as opposed to the
<BR>
flexible plastic film found in tapes and floppies.

H3><P>Once you know how much RAM you want, check to see what form factor (card type)<BR>
you need to buy. You can find this in the manual that came with your computer, or
<BR>
you can contact the manufacturer. An important thing to realize is that your
<BR>
options will depend on the design of your computer. Most computers sold today
<BR>
for normal home/office use have DIMM slots. High-end systems are moving to RIMM
<BR>
technology, which will eventually take over in standard desktop computers as well.
<BR>
Since DIMM and RIMM slots look a lot alike, be very careful to make sure you know
<BR>
which type your computer uses. Putting the wrong type of card in a slot can cause
<BR>
damage to your system and ruin the card.

H3><P>To understand how a microprocessor works, it is helpful to look inside and learn<BR>
about the logic used to create one. In the process you can also learn about assembly
<BR>
language -- the native language of a microprocessor -- and many of the things that
<BR>
engineers can do to boost the speed of a processor. A microprocessor executes a col
<BR>
lection of machine instructions that tell the processor what to do. Based on the
<BR>
instructions, a microprocessor does three basic things:
