What does the hard disk in your processor do?

The Hard Disk and the Processor are actually different things. If you were a computer, your brain would be the processor. If you had a box of stuff in front of you, that would be your hard disk drive, where you store your stuff. A hard disk drive is a type of storage device. 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.)

Can i add memory to my NVIDIA GeForce 7100 NVIDIA nForce 630i?

You have mentioned both a graphics card and a motherboard there. You can add memory to the motherboard in the form of RAM sticks, but you cannot add memory to the graphics card. You can "trick" the computer into thinking it has more memory by allotting space oh the hard disk to be used for graphics memory but this will decrease performance as the hard disk is much slower and is generally not reccomended
