The processor tells your computer what to do and when to do it, it decides which tasks are more important. them to your computers needs.

A processor is a primary chip inside a computer and it contains the digital circuitry.  A processor executes all the programs and the instructions inside the computer. The processor is also embedded in the small devices and in the personal computers and is known as microprocessor. Its speed is measured in the Gigahertz.  Higher the processor’s speed, the more instructions it can process in less time.  It is also known as the central processing unit (CPU). 

RAM

Computer memory can refer to many types of memory within a computer, but, typically, it refers to random access memory (RAM). It is physically found on computer chips that are inserted onto the computer’s motherboard. RAM is electronic, rather than mechanical; that is, it does not have moving parts and therefore data access to it is very fast. Modern computers often have somewhere between 256 MB (megabytes) and 2 GB (gigabytes) of RAM, although there are, of course, computers with more or less RAM. RAM is also volatile, meaning that it gets lost when the computer is switched off.
