The
creation of the computer has greatly benefited a lot of us.
The computer can help us in our work or just for fun. To understand
how a computer can give us so many benefits is very complex.
That is because the computer is made up of tons and tons of
parts that it needs to operate.
The
computer is made up of two basic things that are classified
as either hardware or software. The computer hardware is the
physical parts of the computer. It can likely be compared to
what the things under the hood of the car. This is because they
are the things that make the computer run yet is hidden by a
casing.
Here
are a list of the common Hardware that your computer is made
up of and what they are:
1.
The Case – the tower that houses the essential hardware parts
2.
The Motherboard – the central or primary circuit board that
makes up the complex electronic system of a computer.
3.
The Central Processing Unit or the CPU – it is the component
in the computer that interprets the instructions and processes
the data contained in the software. It is one of the core components
of computers.
4.
The Random Access Memory or the RAM – the RAM is for the execution
of the programs and the storage of short term data. It helps
the computer have a faster time to access the hard drive when
it is finding something. If you want a faster PC you need more
RAM.
5.
The BUS – it is the subsystem that transfers the data or power
between computer components that is inside the computer or to
other computer units.
a.
PCI Bus
b. PCI-E
c. USB
6.
Power Supply – the case that holds the voltage control, fan
and transformer.
7.
Video Display Controller – responsible for the image or the
computer display.
8.
Computer Bus Controllers – connects the computer to other devices
such as the printer or scanner.
9.
Storage controllers such as the SCSI, IDE, and SATA. These things
control the floppy disk, hard disk or CD- ROM. They are located
on top of the mother board or on expansion cards.
These
are only some of the key things that make a computer run. Learning
more about them is really more complex.
However
if one has a certain know-how about how these things work, can
be beneficial. Knowing how to fix these things will help you
a lot and earn some money too. There are now also lot of career
opportunities that are open based on computer hardware know
how that you might want to take a look.
These
things are complex at the start just any other thing, but when
you get familiarized, the stuff becomes Childs play for those
that show vigor.
