Computer Block Diagram - PC Schematic

Here is a brief summary computer block

diagram of a typical Personal Computer.

The von Neumann (CISC) architecture employs a single bus. CISC

stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer. A single-bus system is
illustrated.
The Harvard (RISC) architecture utilizes two busses - a data bus and
a separate address bus. RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set
Computer.
Relationships are shown between the CPU, DRAM, local bus, and the
peripherals which connect to the motherboard. The ISA bus, SCSI
Bus, PCI bus and USB Bus are shown. Some typical computer
parameters are given, along with a Graphics Resolution chart.

Primary Personal Computer Hardware Block Diagram Components in the PC shown above:
Mother board PC components: CPU, Math Co-processor, SRAM cache, DRAM, Video RAM, BIOS ROM, PCI Bridge
Peripherals: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, EISA Hard Drive, Floppy Disk, CD ROM, printer, scanner, USB drive
Recent intel architectures incorporate a 3-chip chipset, consisting of CPU - Central Processing Unit
Northbridge - Connects CPU with DRAM, S-RAM cache, video RAM and Southbridge
Southbridge - Connects peripherals to the Northbridge chip
