User-visible registers: Enable the machine- or assembly-language programmer to minimize main memory references by optimizing register use.
Control and status registers: Used by the processor to control the operation of the processor and by privileged, operating system routines to control the execution of programs.

What are the five primary categories of microcomputers?
1. Input device 2. Unit Processor - consists two parts: central processing unit (CPU) and main memory - CPU is divided into two main parts: a control unit and arithmetic/logic unit + registers 3. Auxiliary storage device 4. Output device Cheers, Rajz
What is the brain of your PC?
The main brain of your PC is your processor. But many other parts of your PC makes up its 'brains' such as the registers, main memory, cache memory. The brain of your PC would be its CPU or the central processing unit or the processor. It is the necessary part of your PC system to be able to carry out the instructions of a computer program. It is also the primary element carrying out the computer's functions.
What is a processor card and what does it do?
At the heart of every computer is one or more processors. While some hand held devices like mobile phones have the processor fixed to the main circuit board there are computers that allow you to change the number and speed of the processors in the computer. This versatility is done by fixing the processor to a business card sized card. This card is called a processor card
What is read or write hit?
I think this is probably in the context of IT and data cache technology. Memory works at different speeds: The registers in the processor are the fastest but there are only a few of those. Cache memory is a little slower but there is more of that, system memory is slower still but there is Gigabytes of that. Disk storage is much slower and there is more of that. A read hit means that the information that the processor wants is in the cache so does not need to be read from main system memory. A write hit means that data is in the cache and waiting to be sent to main system memory is being changed again. Because the transfer to main memory has not yet being done the update has not increased the total work to be done.

What type of storage resides on the processor?
There are several types of storage inside a CPU.First, there is one or more areas of cache memory. That is special static memory which is made to be fast. That is to reduce accesses to the main memory and store the most commonly used instructions.Then older CPUs had an area known as a prefetch queue. It functions much like a cache, but is much smaller.Finally, there are CPU registers. The registers are small areas of memory used for executing instructions and storing the results. If you wish to add two numbers, for instance, your code must copy them to the registers and then perform the addition instruction on the registers. Then the code would collect the result from the registers.
What is the main difference between these two categories?
You haven't stated any categories.
