Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz)
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)_{;{note that a 32b program usually wastes half of any 64b RAM}

(Novice explanation:

b=bit; B=byte=8 bits;

A '__-bit memory or machine' means that a 'word' in that system is __ bits.

A word is usually 2, 4, or 8 bytes. = A word is usually 16, 32 or 64 bits.)}
