Knowing Computer Parts and Components
Computers - One result of the technology is computer or PC. Almost everyone who works in the office, students are learning in school, or a child playing games at home already know the word computer.
Computers are tools used to process data in accordance with procedures that have been formulated. What are the parts and components that make up this sophisticated device that can do many things? To answer these questions and know the parts and components of the computer more information, please refer to the buddy reading and writing the next article.
Section On Computer
Broadly speaking, a computer consists of 2 parts, namely:
A. Hardware or Hardware
B. Software or Software
Further 2 major parts of the computer is divided into several components.
A. Hardware or Hardware
1. CASING
Casing is a computer component that serves as clothing or protective of the CPU (Central Processing Unit). Common form is a square box, but can be modified for those who love tinkering with this case.
In addition to the CPU protector, casing could also serve as an additional cooling. Because usually, modern casing is currently equipped with a cooling fan that his number could be more than one.
Other functions are as the foundation to place a variety of other computer parts, especially the CPU, such as the motherboard, VGA card, sound card, and others.
2. MOTHERBOARD
The main part is the CPU. Serves as a circuit board from a variety of other supporting components. On the motherboard there is a place holder for attaching cards are required, such as VGA cards, RAM, hard drive, etc..
3. VGA CARD
VGA card is part of a computer, in the CPU that is important for the display output to the monitor process. Without VGA card, your computer screen will only display a black screen blank alias. VGA card itself was a form of expansion slots on the motherboard manufacturer or congenital or also known as VGA on board.
Sections include but memory and a cooling fan. Same function, which displays text and graphics to the monitor, just different colors and designs, depending on the manufacturer. Fan is needed to cool the hot component VGA card, because this part works quite heavy all the time.
4. PROCESSOR
Processor is a very important part of the computer. He can be described as the brain of the computer. That is an electronic circuit that functions to logically respond to and process all the instructions the computer.
6. HARDDISK
Hard disk is a data storage, ranging from Software windows or other data. Drive consists of a collection of magnetic hard disks and spinning, as well as other electronic components.
7. RAM
RAM (Random Access Memory) is the memory on the computer. Location adjacent to the processor RAM. It is important that the data between the RAM and the processor can be sent quickly.
RAM serves to store data that will be processed by the processor. RAM is volatile, which means that the data stored by the RAM is lost when the computer is turned off.
7. KEYBOARD and MOUSE
The input to the computer consists of a keyboard and mouse. In the 1990s, only a keyboard input device only. Subsequent developments emerging mouse, pen (pen-shaped). There is now an input device such as a touch of a finger (touch screen) and sound (command line). Which is generally used for home computer or PC is a keyboard and mouse. Function is of course to enter data.
8. MONITOR
The last of the parts and components on the computer monitor, the computer output temporarily. Its function is to see the results of the input or the program that was active during the computer is on.
