brought from CPU article

I just split this stuff out of the CPU article, which was becoming too long. This should integrate closely, somehow, with history of computing and computer architecture (or maybe history of computer architecture. Pat Palmer 13:44, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

stored program and Von Neumann architecture ideas do not belong here

I think these discussions go into computer architecture or history of computing because they address the overall interaction of all the components, not just the wiring and functionality of the central processing unit. Actually, ideas such as stored program and Von neumann architecture (program and data in the same physical memory) deserve (sub)articles of their own. Pat Palmer 13:53, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
