Test students' understanding of how a computer's CPU, RAM, and storage interact to run programs. Assess roles of each component (CPU executes instructions, RAM holds active data, storage holds long-term files), the conceptual process of loading programs from storage into RAM, the fetch‑decode‑execute cycle at a basic level, differences between volatile and non‑volatile memory, and how limited RAM or slow storage affects performance. Include definition, short explanations, and simple scenario-based questions that require explanation or basic analysis.
