most computer words arnt translated

like computer is computer in german, bios and ram would be bios and ram, most likely neutral, das

 

[KLin]

actually BIOS and RAM are acronyms. So you'd have to translate Basic Input Output System and Random Access Memory.

das bios and das ram.

could also be "der speicher" , for "the memory"

But I'm guessing that's more slang? Anyhow, I think if he doesn't know stuff like this, he's more than likely in a lower-level class, so why does it matter?

Are you really asking to translate an acronym into another language? You apparently have more to worry about in life than your German homework.
