Answer to Part 1 Question #2

CPU(Central Processing unit) - this is the brain of your computer and directly affects how fast your computer can "think". Faster/better the CPU the faster/better the computer 

MOTHERBOARD -  this is the central nervous system of your computer. It is basically the body in which all your hardware connects to. It is the underlining circuitboard of your computer and connects everything together. Again a better motherboard = a faster/better computer  

HARD DISK DRIVE -  A hard disk drive (often shortened as hard disk, hard drive, or HDD) is a non-volatile storage device that stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. Strictly speaking, "drive" refers to a device distinct from its medium, such as a tape drive and its tape, or a floppy disk drive and its floppy disk. Basically stores all the info on your computer. More Hardrive space = more "stuff" you can put on your computer  

VIDEOCARD  -  an expansion card whose function is to generate and output images to a display. Many video cards offer added functions, such as accelerated rendering of 3D scenes, video capture, TV-tuner adapter, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoding, FireWire, light pen, TV output, or the ability to connect multiple monitors, while other modern high performance cards are used for more graphically demanding purposes such as PC games. Better videocard = smoother display and better images.  

CD/DVD DRIVE  -  DVD-ROM is a newer standard than CD-ROM, able to read 7 times as much data off of a typical DVD disk (4.7 GB) as opposed to the measly 650MB a CD-ROM drive can read, and also able to play DVD movies with the proper decoding software or hardware.
