When you mention the word “technology,” most people think of computers. Virtually every facet of our lives has some computerized component. The appliances in our homes have built-in microprocessors, just like our televisions. Even our cars have a computer. However, the computer
everyone thinks of the personal computer or PC first.
It is a general purpose tool, built around a microprocessor.
A PC has many different parts, such as memories, a disk
disk,
a modem etc that work together. A PC is said to be “general
purpose” because you can do many different things with it
such as: you can use it to write documents, send emails, browse
Internet and games.
Let’s look at the main components of a typical desktop
computer.
Central Processing Unit (CPU): the “brain” of the microprocessor
of
the computer system is known as the hub
processing
unit. The CPU oversees everything a computer does.
Memory: This fast storage area is for storing data and is
connected directly to the microprocessor. that’s why it is
fast. There are various types of memory in a computer
system:
Random Access Memory (RAM) – Used to temporarily store
information that the computer is currently working with.
Read Only Memory (ROM) – Refers to computer memory

Basic Input/Output: Required to set the base

connected to the motherboard.
Caching: The storage of frequently used data in
Fast RAM that plugs directly into the CPU.
Virtual memory: used to temporarily store data and exchange it
in and out of RAM.
Motherboard: This is the main board of the computer that
has
processor, RAM, BIOS ROM, timing and
control, interrupt and hardware direct memory access
and
the keyboard interface on it that is connected to it
through the secondary connection.
Sound card: This device connects to the motherboard with a
socket called PCI, which allows the computer to play CDs

music files or MP3 CDs. All sound cards have speakers
and

card
Hard drive: This is the main storage device of a computer.
Stores information, including the operating system, that allows you to
access everything. The most common operating system for PCs is Microsoft.
Windows.
And Apple computers use the Macintosh operating system.
Other drives – Most computers also include floppy drives
disk drives and CDs. These vary from system to system.
however, they all work the same way. read stored information
we records. These are necessary to maintain and
updating
computer software and operating system.
Those are the components that create the average computer.
Although there are many different systems and configurations
tions, it is difficult to imagine our lives without them.
