Computer Components and Technologies

What is the four main component in computer?

• Motherboard (system board)

• Central Processing Unit (CPU)

• Random Access Memory (RAM)

• Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

What are the characteristics for component 1. (a)?

• Also known as system board.

• Main printed circuit board in general-purpose computers and other expandable systems.

• Holds and allows communication between crucial electronic components of a system, such as CPU, RAM, HDD, Input/output devices, other peripherals.

What are the characteristics for component 1. (b)?

• Conceptualised by Jon von Neumann in 1945

• Designed for the stored-program computer

• The basic architecture still in use in today's CPU

• Architecture consists of: A processing unit with both an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers, A control unit that includes an instruction register and a program counter, Memory that stores data and instructions, External mass storage, Input and output mechanisms
