How Computers Are Measured
• Speed (Hertz): Cycles per second– Megahertz (MHz) 1 Million cycles per second– Gigahertz (GHz) 1 Billion cycles per second– Terahertz (THz) 1 Trillion cycles per second
• Storage Capacity: Bytes– Megabyte (MB) 1 Million bytes– Gigabytes (GB) 1 Billion bytes– Terabyte (TB) 1 Trillion bytes

Memory
•RAM (Random Access Memory)
– Holds a temporary version of programs or data that is being processed by the user.
•Measured in bytes •Today’s standard is 1GB to 2GB

Networking
• A configuration of work stations that enable users to share data, programs and output devices– Client/Server Environment
• Client is the individual user workstation• Server contains the software application and
the data.
