PC HARDWARE
Identifying The Peripherals of A Computer And The Components In A CPU

Peripherals of a computer are:

Memory: RAM,Hard Disk,Cache Memory C.P.U: Mother Board,Switched Mode Power Supply, Floppy Drive, CD-RW, Mother Board Consists of CMOS, PCI, Processor, Heat Sink Fan Input Devices: Keyboard,Mouse,Light Pen, Joy Stick,Scanner, Speech Input Devices,Touch Screen, Touch Pad. Output Devices: Monitor, Printer,Plotter, Speakers

CMOS (Complementary Metal oxide Semi Conductor)

Most modern PC motherboards come with the following :
CPU socket or slot (there are two types of CPU interfaces) RAM slots, and L2 cache (sometimes the L2 cache is on the CPU itself) Expansion bus slots (several types - ISA, EISA, PCI, AGP)

Disk Interfaces (IDE or SCSI for the floppy, and hard drive)

External ports, or buses (parallel, serial)
jumpers and switches (called DIP switches) to configure the board CMOS Clock - which controls the timing of the PC

connectors for internal PC speaker, and intelligent cooling fans connectors for On/Off switch, hard reset button, and hard drive activity indicator lights

battery - to keep CMOS configuration intact, and run Real-time clock
parallel and serial ports for printers two USB ports for digital camera's flash memory readers, printers, scanners

ISA: Industry Standard Architecture. EISA: Extended Industry Standard Architecture.

PCI: Peripheral Component Interface.

AGP: Accelerated Graphics Port. SCSI: Small Computer System Interface. IDE: Integrated Drive Electronics. DIP: Dual Inline Package.

USB: Universal Serial Bus

Desktop or Tower Case:

A desktop case is required to hold all your computers together. It is your personal preference on which one decide to choose . The desktop or tower cases come two in form factor AT and ATX nearly all the cases made nowadays are ATX as the motherboard manufacturers make majority of their motherboard in the ATX form

Power supply and power connects for drives The power supply in the tower is done with the SMPS (switch mode power supply) SMPS supply power to the devices in the tower with help of ATX power supply plug

Cables:

In tower we use ribbon cables to connect the motherboard and the other devices like CD ROM , hard disk floppy drive The ribbon cable is use to transfer the data for one device to other

MOTHERBOARD :
A Motherboard is a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that connects your processor , memory, and all your expansion card together to assemble a pc . Motherboard come in two forms AT and ATX . Most motherboard made now a days are ATX . An ATX motherboard has the standard I/O (input/output) connectors such as PS/2 ports, parallel ports ,serial ports , etc , built on motherboard. AT motherboard use I/O cards and cables which need to be plugged into the motherboard which get a bit untidy . At motherboard requires AT keyboard ,AT mouse, AT power supply ATX motherboard requires ATX power supply

PROCESSOR:

The processor also know as CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the brain of a computer. The faster the processor , the faster it will execute instructions and run your programs. the leading CPU manufactures are Intel and AMD .

MEMORY : Memory is the name given too silicon chips that stores volatile computer data . Memory stores of your operating systems and application data while it is being run . The more memory you have in your system , the more application you can run simultaneously and will provide an overall better system performance. Memory comes in many forms Now SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) & DDR RAM

GRAPHICS CARDS :

Graphics card provides display output to your monitor . There are many graphics cards 2D and 3D graphic cards

24

PC HARDWARE
SOUND CARD :

If you require sound for your PC then you will need a sound card . As basic sound card are very cheap It offers many benefits such as running multimedia application with sound , etc..,

25

HARD DISK DRIVE :

Hard disk drive stores all your data including operating system application user files and documents . It is not volatile storage There are two different types of HDD are IDE/ATA and SCSI . Majority home PC are equipped with IDE hard drives. SCSI hard drives are mostly included in servers and powerful workstations as they offer better data transfer rate which results in better performance than the IDE drives
