be accessed much faster
then RAM
Solid State/
Flash

no moving
parts
Virtual memory: It stores
information from Ram that is not
needed urgently
Ram: It is a type of memory that you can change and read what

arithmetic
and
logic
operations.
MDR

CIR
Holds the current
Instruction to be
executed, having
being fetched from
the memory.
MAR
Holds the memory
location of the data
that needs to be
