| Your booklet has diagrams. Here are the real things. | |
| ### CPU | |

| + | |
| A modern Intel Core i9 processor. The silver square is the heat spreader — underneath are billions of transistors smaller than a virus. | |
| ### RAM | |

| + | |
| DDR memory sticks. These plug into the slots on the motherboard. The gold pins are the electrical contacts. More sticks = more "desk space" for your apps. | |
| ### Storage: SSD vs HDD | |
| + | |
| + |  |
| + | |
| + | *A Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD — the green stick, about the size of a pack of gum.

| + | |
| **SSD (Solid State Drive)** — No moving parts. Data stored on memory chips. Fast, silent, expensive. | |
| + |  |
| + | |
| + | *An opened Samsung 8.4 GB HDD — two platters and four read/write heads. Image by Gunnar Wolf, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), via [Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:3.5%20inch%20hard%20disk%20drive%2C%20side%20view.jpg).* |
| + | |
| **HDD (Hard Disk Drive)** — A spinning metal platter with a read/write arm floating above it. Slower, cheaper, still used for bulk storage. | |
| ### GPU | |
| + | |
| + |  |
| + | |
| + | *A PNY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, front view.

| + | |
| The NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti — a modern gaming graphics card. Those two black circles are fans that cool the chip during heavy work. AI companies buy millions of these (or the more powerful server versions). | |
| ### Motherboard | |
| + | |
| + |  |
| + | |
| + | *An ATX-format motherboard with CPU and fan installed. Image by Leon Brooks, public domain, via [Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atx%20computer%20motherboard%20with%20cpu%20and%20fan.jpg).* |
| + | |
| Everything plugs into this board. You can see the CPU socket, RAM slots, PCIe slots (for the GPU), and hundreds of tiny traces carrying data between components. | |
