Cache
Memory that is used to improve performance by keeping recently
used or soon-to-be-needed data in a separate memory position where
it will not need to be searched for. This cache can be either an actual
hardware cache with its own memory, or a section of your RAM
separated off for this function.
CD-R
A CD-RW (Compact Disk-ReWritable) drive can play ordinary
CD-ROMs or can write to disks that can be erased and reused many
times. CD-RW disks can be read only by CD-RW drives or by “multi-
read” CD-ROM/R/RW players equipped with special CD-RW software.
CD-RW
This is the measure of how fast a computer’s CPU (central processing
unit) runs. It is usually expressed in MHz (megahertz), or millions of
cycles per second. It is the number associated with the CPU of your
system (as in a 266 MHz processor).
Client
A computer on a network which relies on another “server” computer
to provide some of its programs or functions, or for its connection
to other computers on the network.
Clock Speed
This is the measure of how fast a computer’s CPU (central processing
unit) runs. It is usually expressed in MHz (megahertz), or millions of
cycles per second. It is the number associated with the CPU of your
system (as in a 266 MHz processor).
