PARTS/ELEMENTS OF COMPUTER ITS FUNCTION


1. Computer case This is the part that holds all of the parts of a
computer to make up the computer system.
It usually designed in such a manner to make
fitting a motherboard wiring and drives as
easy as possible.
2. Motherboard The motherboard is thye main board that is
screwed directly inside the computer case all
other cards and everything else plugs
directly into the motherboard. Its involves
integrating all the physical component to
communicate and operate together.
3. Central processing unit (CPU) Is basically like the brain of computer system
it process all the information on a
computational level. It takes all the processes
from the ram and process it to perform the
tasks required by computer system.
4. Random access memory (RAM) RAM is the data storage device that can
provide fast read and write access. The RAM
keeps data ready for the CPU to process and
it is a big contributor to the overall speed of
a computer system.
5. Graphics card (GPU) Is an output device that process the data
from the motherboard and send the
appropriate information to the computers
screen for display. It can be referred to as a
video or display card.
6. Sound card Most of the time the sound chip into the
motherboard is used for audio output. A
sound processing chip on the card does all
the audio processing and is usually not a very
powerful processor.
7. Hard disk drive (HDD) A hard drive is still found in most computers
to this day, its usually a mechanical drive
that stores all the data. It can also be used as
a boot drive to run the operating system
from it.
8. Computer speaker Computer speaker can connect up to the
sound card at the rear of the
computer,another way can be connected is
by a monitor that already has built in
speakers.
9. Mouse A mouse is an input device that allows the
user to move a pointer displayed on the
monitor and experience a more intuitive
interaction with computer system. The three
main bottons allow the user to select,
grab ,scroll and access extra menus and
option.
10. keyboard Is an input device that is one of the ways to
communicate with computer. Typing a
keyboard sends a small portion of data to tell
the computer which key was pressed.
11. Monitor A monitor is an output device use to
visualize the graphics data sent from the
computers.
12. Power supply unit (PSU) A power supply unit mounts inside the
computer case . This converts the AC main
supply from the power cord from a wall
socket and supplies the correct DC voltage to
all the components inside the computer.
13. Solid state drive (SSD) An SSD is also a type of hard drive, but it
doesn’t have any moving parts . It consists of
a blank of flash memory that can hold a
reasonable amount of data.
14. Printer Produce printed copies of computer output.
15. Flash memory Used to read flash memory cards
