Extended System Configuration Data

Rate that a computer performs re-loading a browser

Rate that a computer performs its most basic operations

A common pathway, which data can travel

How long the receiver is

• How much data can:

  • Move into, Out of, and through the chip per clock cycle

How wide the processor is in inches

How much data the processor can hold over time

Defined in GHz

The frequency should be equal to the processing speed

Defined in MHz

The frequency should be close or equal to the RAM clock speed

Defined in GB

The frequency should be equal to the Voltage speed

Defined in MHz

The frequency should be close or equal to the current

Turning analog sound wave into digital signals

The “Display” control panel identifies the monitor and video adapter installed

ALUs hold more memory for the processor

Numbers are transferred from memory into the ALU for calculation, and the results are sent back into memory

ALUs provide the information needed for the processor to provide a clear image on the screen

ALUs are a place to hold extra heat in the processor

Allows a single processor to handle two sets of instructions at the same time

Holds the BIOS from the processor to communicate

Memory built into the microprocessor or motherboard.

Makes the Images on your screen prosses at a faster rate

Processor speed

• How much data can

  • move into, out of

  • and through the chip per clock cycle

A high-speed CPU circuit that does calculating and comparing

• The Processor’s interface with the motherboard 

Type of processor you have and how fast it will run

How fast the buses will run

Main memory

Southbridge; AKA I/O Controller Hub
Connects to lower-speed peripheral buses 

• PCI

• ISA

Chipsets
Northbridge; AKA Memory Controller Hub

LGA (Land Grid Array)

• Pins are on the socket, rather than processor

•  Uses gold pads ( called lands) on bottom of processor

• PCI Bus:

  • A computer expansion card interface format 

  • 33MHz, 32-bit

• Links the CPU to very high-speed devices

  • Main memory (RAM)

  • PCI Express, and 

  • Graphics controllers (AGP)

• An expression of the number of horizontal and vertical pixels

• Anti-Virus / Spyware

  • Scan your system on a regular basis

    • Before back ups

  • Vendor provides regular updates

    • Virus signatures

• Optical Drives (cont.):

  • 4K Ultra HD

    • Enhanced variant of Blu-ray

• Contains initial software needed to get the system running

  • Drivers for all basic system components

• Connects to lower-speed peripheral buses 

  • 
    Communicates with the CPU through the Northbridge

Processor width -  lanes of a highway

• Processor speed – Speed of vehicles on highway

• 6 cores - AMD Phenom-II X6, new versions of Intel Core i7

• Frequency response

  • Range an audio system can record or play

  • 30Hz – 20kHz

• Fastest bus in the system 

• Carries all electronic signal information to and from cache or main memory and the Northbridge 

• Max bandwidth is determined by

• Minimum resolution:  400 dpi

• 1 sensor

• 800 dpi improves accuracy

• Dual sensors = faster speed and accuracy

• Supports the processor

• The “Display” control panel identifies the monitor and video adapter installed
