SPECIALIZED CARDS

These cards increase the functionality of your computer and allow it to do specific tasks. Each card can do different chores. Now a days, most computers have on board chips that substitute the cards functions.

Sound card:

It manages input and output signals and then produce sound for the headphones or speakers. you can connect multiple sound devices and it can play mp3 files.

Graphic Card:

The function of this card is to generate output images to display through screens. Graphic cards work with more advanced programs such as Adobe's package. It can playback other recreational software such as videos, games...
this card can have different ports: VGA, dvi, Svideo...

Network Card:

It allows the computer to connect to different networks, to another computer and you can create small networks as well,
it has an Ethernet Socket, RJ45.

MEMORY A memory is a temporary storage that computers uses to hold data and instructions. One of the most important storage devices is random access memory(RAM), that is the fastest way in which data can get to the processor. Random access memory (RAM) is the temporary storage for data and programs that are being accessed by the CPU. Non volatile / volatile A volatile memory, lose its data when the computer is powered off. On the other hand, a Non Volatile memory that does not lose its data when switched off. Different types: RAM : Is one of the most important storage devices, is a volatile memory, that stores data and programs that are being accessed by the CPU. RAM is a volatile memory. ROM: Read-only memory (ROM) contains basic instructions for booting the computer and loading the operating system. ROM, on the other hand, is a Non Volatile memory CAC...

THE PROCESSOR The function of the processor The processor is a chip that controls all the computer instructions by interpreting them as a binary code. The control circuitry pulls data in via the various ports, directs it along data buses,stores it in the memories and performs the calculations Its roles Performing calculations: the calculations are made by components in the cpu using binary code. Data manipulation: The cpu can receive data from input devices, store the instructions and send data back to output devices Decision making Performance features Clock speed: Is the speed at which the microprocessor executes instructions Cores: It is the processing unit. For example, having two cores, multiply the processing power of the cpu by two. Cache Is a small and fast memory, situated close to the cpu to accelerate the processor performance by storing copies of the most fre...
