Does it just affect the speed at which the computer runs? Like how fast it boots up / shuts down, how fast browser pages load, how fast it opens / closes applications, and how fast applications run (e.g. photoshop, Final Cut Pro, etc.)?
In: Technology
If your computer is a human body:
The case is your skin and bones, holding it all together
The hard drive is your long term memory, storing things to call later
The RAM is your short term memory, storing things you need now
The GPU is the part of your brain that processes sight, taking data from the CPU and turning it into what you see
The CPU is your brain, processing all your tasks and telling everything what to do
The power supply is your stomach and lungs, providing energy to run
More ram means you can think about more things at once, a faster CPU means you can process everything faster and act accordingly, a bigger hard drive means you can remember more stuff long term, a better GPU let’s you go through images faster so everything you see is smoother.
