tween the components within the computer. If the I/O

twice as fast as data on a 16-bit data bus.
byte
— A group of data units forming a single unit of data. There
are eight bits in a single byte.

— This measurement, usually given in MHz (megahertz)
tells how fast the microprocessor in your computer hand-
les data. The higher the number, the faster your com-
puter.

— Central Processing Unit. Also known as a microproces-
sor. This chip processes all the instructions in the com-
puter.
