4. For this question, I want to know some specs from the computer you most 
regularly use.  Find out the following information about your computer.
To find out this information, try search on google for how to find this 
information for your operating system.  For example, if you use Windows 7, 
then search for Windows 7 find out my CPU.  Or search for similar things.
Also, feel free to ask someone else how to find the information.

What kind of CPU: 
Speed in Ghz of your CPU: 
How many cores in your CPU: 

Amount of memory in GB: 

Amount of hard drive storage in GB: 

Note, Ghz is an abbreviate for gigahertz, which means 1 billion times per 
second.  So a 3.2 Ghz CPU does something 3.2 billion times per second.
GB is an abbreviation for gigabyte, which means (roughly) 1 billion 
bytes.  So a 900GB har drive has 900 billion bytes of storage.
