(5, 5) 5. the physical part of the computer and is controlled by software. (8) 7. transfers data from one component to another – bidirectional. (4, 3) 9. volatile because when the computer is switched off – the contents are lost, temporary memory. (3) Down 2. ‘Brain’ of the computer (9) 3. the number of lines allocated to a bus. The bigger it is – the more data can be transferred at a time (4, 6) 4. transports control signals and is bidirectional. (7, 3) 6. set of wires that connect independent components together to transfer control signals and data. (3) 8. non-volatile – the contents in the ROM is not lost when the computer is switched off. (3) 10. address all components except the processor – unidirectional. (7, 3)
