Data is usually stored on the computer's internal hard drive, or on an external hard drive or flash drive, etc. It is not stored on the Random Access Memory (RAM) which is volatile, and any data would be lost when the computer is switched off.

Is housed in the CPU and temporarily stores frequently used data?
Random Access Memory (RAM) is a hardware device that allows information to be stored temporarily.
What hardware component stores programs and data that are currently being used by the CPU?
UDSBXBSH
Temporarily holds data and instruction as the CPU processes them?
Random Access
What component of a personal computer is responsible for the processing of all data?
CPU
Which is the component inside the CPU that holds data before and after processing?
the registers
What memory of a computer that stores data permanently?
The CPU
Which hardware component holds the data and programs being used by the CPU?
memory circuits
Which processing component stores temporary information that the CPU and software need to keep running?
memory
Can you store data in the CPU for a long time?
Hmmm, a CPU (processor) stores no data. RAM or Memory can store data as long as the computer is ON and the Hard Drive can store data indefinately (forever).
In a typical computer system which component has the highest data transfer speed?
The path between the CPU and the RAM has the highest bandwidth. Or rather, the CPU to the memory controller, that is what's called the North Bridge. However, if you are looking at a single component then the CPU internal bandwidth is the tops.
How does the system bus contribute to the overall system performance?
Your data busses sends information from component to component i.e. your FSB (front side bus)/system bus/internal bus communicates between your CPU and RAM, the faster it runs, the faster information is moved between your RAM and CPU giving your CPU quicker access to that data.
How General register organization in CPU?
The registers in a CPU are organized according to their purpose. There are data registers and address registers. The address registers are in charge of pointing out where certain data stores are.
