What exactly is RAM? Video Card? Processor? BIOS?

Will I need to install this into my computer just like a video card? What else is similar to this? What is Radeon X300 and all that?|||Radeon X300 is a video card which is needed to power the visual features that you see in your monitor. It is the component that displays everything on your screen. Another video card would come from famous brand known as Nvidia. Of course, there are others such as Intel.



A processor is anything that you hear like Pentium IV, Dual Core, Core 2 Duo, and Quad Core. Processors are needed by the computer to load stored data from the hard disk into memory.



RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory or some might call it memory. When you try to run a program, the system will load the program into memory or RAM for quicker access.



BIOS is the menu that appears when pressing F8, F6, or F2 when your computer starts up. It is used to manage the hardware of your computer and it is the master control for everything. You can disable a particular component such as the hard drive or disable the mouse.|||Read this:

This can explain more (in detail) than I can on a single page.

It's a long read, but worth it.|||RAM is Random Access Memory

Video Card is a card for graphics on your computer



Not exactly sure what the rest is
