The Hard Disk and the Processor are actually different things. If you were a computer, your brain would be the processor.

It is a high-capacity, fast storage medium compared to other mediums such as CD-Roms and Floppy Disks. (Memory would be like having hands to pick up stuff from the box. If you have more memory, you would be able to hold more stuff before having to stash it back in the box to get a different item.)
Size of computer memory refers to RAM or hard disk?
RAM (Random Access "Memory") stores information temporarily while the power is on. Hard Disk "Space" stores information permanently regardless of whether the power is on or off. Computer specifications usually specify RAM as system "memory" (like 2GB DDR2 MEMORY) and refer to Hard Disk storage as "Hard Drive(s)", system "storage", or "Disk Space" (like 320GB HARD DRIVE). Think of the Hard Drive as a storage shed and the RAM as the playground. The computer gets the programs/data from the hard drive and pulls them out temporarily into the playground for you to use, then stores them back in the shed when you are done.
