A byte is a unit of measure for digital information. A single byte contains eight consecutive bits, and is capable of storing a single ASCII character, such as a letter, number, or typographic symbol. A byte is abbreviated with a “B”.
Computer storage is usually measured in byte multiples. One Kilobyte is 1024 bytes, One Megabyte is 1024 Kilobytes and so on.

A bit is the short for binary digit, taking a value of either 0 or 1, corresponding to the electrical values of off or on, respectively. A bit is abbreviated with a small “b”. A bit is the smallest increment of data on a computer. The value of a bit is usually stored as either above or below a designated level of electrical charge in a single capacitor within a memory device.
Bits are usually assembled into a group of eight to form a byte. For example, the number 10010111 is 8 bits long, or byte. Half a byte (four bits) is called a nibble.

Resolution is the number of pixels that are used to draw an image on the screen. If you could count the pixels in one horizontal row across the top of the screen, and the number of pixels in one vertical column down the side, that would properly describe the resolution that the monitor is displaying.
Resolution is given as two numbers. If there were 800 pixels across and 600 pixels down the side, then the resolution would be 800 X 600. Multiply 800 times 600 and you’ll get the number of pixels used to draw the image (480,000 pixels in this example)....

A computer display monitor, usually called simply a monitor, is an output device that is part of your computer’s display system. A cable connects the monitor to a video adapter (video card) that is installed in an expansion slot on your computer�s motherboard. This system converts signals into text and pictures and displays them on a TV-like screen (the monitor).
A monitor a physical unit that is separate from other parts of the computer. Notebook computers don’t have monitors because all the display and related parts are integrated into...

Multithreading is a specialized form of multitasking. In general, there are two types of multitasking: process-based and thread-based. A process is, in essence, a program that is executing. Thus, process-based multitasking is the feature that allows your computer to run two or more programs concurrently.
A thread is a dispatchable unit of executable code. The name comes from the concept of a “thread of execution.” In a thread-based multitasking environment, all processes have at least one thread, but they can have more. This means that a single program can perform two...
