Greetings,

The part of the computer that does the "thinking" (doing the calculations) is the Processor/CPU ((Central Processing Unit))

And the part of the computer that does the "remembering" is the harddrive


You have two more that I can think of: RAM ((Random Access Memory)) and GPU ((Graphical Processing Unit))

I will try to make those two simple:

RAM is the working memory of the computer because it is much faster to get data from the RAM then the Harddrive (RAM is 100'000 faster then a Harddrive! o.O)

And the GPU is basically just a processor, just for working on sending pictures to your screen (So that the CPU can work on other things instead :) )

I hope this answered most of your questions! :)
