The CPU, aka, 'Central Processing Unit,' performs the caculations and logic functions of the computer. However, the CPU is not the same as a motherboard, as it is a larger board in which the CPC an other memory cards can plug into. A CPU deals with instructions it receives in a series of steps.

Does your memory has a direction?

The memory in the computer called RAM contains data. For instance if you open Microsft Word then that progrom is loaded into your RAM memory. This makes the program rum faster because the CPU does not have to access it from the hard drive which is a slow process. So the data in memory travels from the RAM to the CPU for processing. The other way RAM travels with with your video card. Video cards have a direct link to the CPU so they can process faster, this includes memory. So memory travels to the CPU and to the Video when needing. Remember memory does not travel anyware, its the data inside the memory that travels. Hope this helps.
