  • PROCESSOR

Processor is the brain of  the computer.

types it..

  1. Dual core
  2. core 2 duo
  3. Pentium 1-4
  4. AMD
  5. Many other

The second is Ram..


Ram stand for random access memory

Two types of Ram it static and dynamic.

Ram is volatile..

the third point is Motherboard the main circuit which connect all devices on a micro computer.

Also called main board or a system board.

The fourth point is HARD DISK..

The hard disk is a very important part of a computer in this device we can store a data.. like videos image and personal documents etc..

store data in magnetic disk like medium

Non volatile mass storage device

Has very high access time as compare with ram

Very cheap as compare to ram and so large capacity..

The next point is Card.

Video card

Sound card

Network interface card

Ports

  • Serial ports serialized the data

Mouse modem etc use serial port.

  • Parallel

Bits transmit in parallel

use primarly for printer.

  • PS2

Use to interface keyboard and pointing device

Frees the serial port for other device

Now we talk about Bios.. What is Bios?

BIOS STAND FOR BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM

Important function

Check CMOS setup

Post power on self Test

Display system setting

Initiate bootstrap sequence.

PERIPHERALS

KEYBOARD

MOUSE

MONITOR

CD-ROM

PRINTER

MODEM

Cabinets

FORM FACTOR      

At cases

Older motherboard (pre-Pentium)

Advantage well established standard make

Easy and cheap design

Disadvantage is inefficient cooling

Non suitable for p 2 and higher

cpu socket location

ATX CASES

Never motherboard

efficient cooling

Easy accessibility for update

10 are fixed on board.
