This episode examines the core internal components that power computing devices. We detail the functions of the CPU, RAM, GPU, and the motherboard, along with supporting elements such as firmware and expansion cards. Understanding how these parts work together is essential for diagnosing hardware performance issues and selecting appropriate upgrades.

We also discuss how different component specifications affect performance, such as CPU clock speed, RAM capacity, and GPU processing capabilities. Examples include matching components to intended workloads, such as gaming, data analysis, or virtual machine hosting.
