Hardware versus Software:
• Hardware is the physical components of a computer, such as the monitor, keyboard, mouse,
central processing unit, etc.
• Software refers to programs and files, digital information which you cannot actually touch.
Desktop Publishing Hardware
1. Processor: the brains of the computer; previously know as the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
a. Speed:
i. measured in megahertz (MHz) and gigahertz (GHz)
ii. the higher the hertz, the faster the computer performs
b. RAM (Random Access Memory):
i. your computer’s short term memory. It can be thought of as the “working space”
in your computer.
ii. measured in megabytes (MB) and gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB)
iii. the more RAM a computer has, the faster it works and the more programs you
can have running at one time
iv. RAM is a volatile memory, which means that when power is lost and the
computer is shut down; anything in RAM will be lost.
v. most draw and paint programs require a high amount RAM
vi. there are many types of RAM that are differentiated based on the way and
speed in which information is stored and retrieved (DDR2, SDRAM, ETC.)
c. ROM (Read Only Memory):
i. contains a set of instruction that is used to "boot up" the computer

Importance of hardware and software in dtp is given below.
Explanation:
DTP is the desktop publishing. The importance of the hardware and then software of DTP is that is enables users to take the increased quality of documents which can only be taken by the professional computers which are very high in cost.
They are acquiring the attention of the minicomputers used as it is a new technology. the europe has the patent for this technology.
