Session 16

Did abit of housekeeping first before continuing our lesson on computer system. Today we learn the binary code that has only two digits : 0 or 1. A bit is represented by the number 0 and 1.

We also learn data measurement. For example 1KB=2 power 10 bytes, and few more others. As for speed measurement, are like Hertz (Hz), MegaHertz (MHz), and GigaHertz (GHz).
The system clock is one of the major factor that influenced the computer speed and only affects the CPU only. Example of a microprocessor speed, Pentium 4 running at 2.4 GHz which is faster and Pentium 4 running at 1.8 GHz which is slower.
Speed and path determines the total processing speed.
