CPU

 The CPU of a computer is a microprocessor,based on a chip or microchip, a small piece of silicon with very large numberof electronic 'circuits on it.

 The CPU interface -this is the way the CPU isconnected with the main board. There are two main formats for PC's and those are the «Socket», and the «Slot» formats. The various socketand slot formats are also referred to as «packaging». The main twobrands of processors for PC's are Intel and AMD and a very small part for VIAprocessors.

 The AMD Athlon 64fx:processor features innovative technology to provide extraordinary performanceand a computing experience without parallel. The ADM Athlon64fh processor runs on AMD 64, a revolutionary technology that allows theprocessor to run 32-bit applications at full speed while enabling the comingwave oft powerful, 64-bit software applications. The AMD processor is the onlyWindows -compatible 64-bit PC processor and the world's most technicallyadvanced PC processor. This processor is fully compatible with MicrosoftWindows XP and tens of thousands of PC applications that people around theworld use every day. Systems based on the AMD technology are able to deliverleading-edge performance for the most demanding entertainment and contentcreation software today and in the future.

 (CPU) is the nerve of any digital computersystem since it coordinates and controls the activities of all the other unitsand performs all the arithmetic and logic processes to be applied to data. Allprogram instructions to be executed must be held within the CPU, and all thedata to be processed must be loaded first into this unit. The CPU has twofunctions: it must obtain instructions from the memory and interpret them, aswell as perform the actual operations.
