Terms Motherboard CPU Memory (RAM) Hard Drive Video Card Network Card Sound Card Solid State vs. Spindle State Hard Drive Input/Output Devices

KB/MB/GB/TB

KB/MB/GB/TB So how many Bytes in 1 MB? Each Megabyte has 1000 Kilobytes  1 * 1000 = 1000 Kilobytes   Each Kilobyte has 1000 bytes 1000 * 1000 = 1 000 000 bytes So how many Megabytes in 1.5 Terabytes?  1.5 * 1000 (into G) * 1000 (into M) = 1 500 000 Megabytes

Hardware Case Motherboard CPU Memory (RAM) Hard Drive Video Card Network Card Sound Card

The Hard Drive The biggest place to store information The only place that keeps that information when powered off 500 GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s

The Hard Drive Two physical sizes 3 speed types 3.5’’ – Desktop 2.5’’ – Laptop 3 speed types 5400 RPM 7200 RPM Solid State

CPU – Central Processing Unit The brain of the computer The part of the computer that: Does calculations Moves data around (into and out of memory) Sends requests to other devices

RAM – Random Access Memory The temporary working area where data and programs are stored, that have either recently been used or are currently being run Much faster to read and write to than the other kind of storage in a computer RAM can be compared to a person’s short- term memory and the hard disk to the long- term memory

RAM – Random Access Memory Much smaller than a hard disk Typically 2-16GB Hard Drives typically 250-2000 GBs

Video Card A.K.A graphics card, graphics adapter, video adapter Function is to generate and output images to a display Many video cards offer added functions, such as accelerated rendering of 3D scenes, video capture, TV-tuner adapter, TV output, or the ability to connect multiple monitors

Video Card Cont’d

Putting it all together The motherboard The CPU is the brain, and the motherboard is the nervous system The motherboard is the circuit board to which all the other components of the computer connect in some way Some motherboards have many features, including built-in sound, video, and networking

Input/Output What is defined as an input device or output device? When a computer is receiving information (input) When a computer is sending information (output) Examples – DVD, Mouse, Hard Drive, Monitor
