Applications & System Software
Internal Components of Computer
 Motherboard
The motherboard is the main board that is screwed
directly inside the computer case. All other cards
and everything else plug directly into the motherboard.
The CPU, RAM, drives, power supply, and more all
get connected to it.
Its function is to integrate all the components so
they can communicate and operate together.
Motherboard
 CPU: Central Processing Unit

The CPU is basically like the brain of a computer. It processes all the
information on a computational level.
It takes information from the RAM and processes it to perform the
tasks required from the computer.
 RAM: Random Access Memory

RAM is a data storage device that can provide fast read and write
access. RAM is also volatile, which means that it loses all the stored
data when power is lost.
The RAM keeps data ready for the CPU to process.
 Graphics Card

A graphics card processes the data from the motherboard and sends the appropriate
information to the monitor for it to be displayed.
A graphics card can also be referred to as a video card or a display card.
 Hard Drive

A hard drive is found in most computers. It’s usually a

mechanical drive that stores all the data.
 Check your CPU, RAM and
Windows specifications. Then
capture it in the meeting chat.

Analyze your hard disk size

and calculate the total
storage size that you have.
Then type in the meeting chat.
