The CPU (Central Processing Unit) or simply Proccessor is the small chip that controls and runs everything in the computer. If it wasn't for that the computer would do NOTHING. The most popular ones are Pentiums and the new Core 2 Duo

CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. It is the 'thinking part' or 'brain' of your computer and is basically an extremely (and i mean very extremely) powerful calculator. Some CPUs are more powerful than others, which means they can do more calculations in a given time.
