“We need technology in every
classroom and in every student and
teacher’s hand, because it is the pen
and paper of our time, and it is the
lens through which we experience
much
of our world."
DAVID WARLICK
Computer specification (Hardware)
Graphics Card
• A graphics car is the complete package that includes the
GPU along with other components like video memory
(VRAM), cooling solutions (fans or heatsinks), and
video outputs (HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.)
4) Hard Drive Speed and Capacity
• A hard drive is the hardware component that stores all of
your digital content. A non-volatile data storage device
that maintains stored data when turned off.
• Today 40GB is an absolute minimum hard drive size for
a new computer running Windows 7, with a far larger
capacity being recommended in any situation where
more than office software is going to be installed.
• If a computer is frequently to be used to edit video, a
second internal hard disk dedicated only to video storage
is highly recommended for stable operation.
The second key factor that determines performance of a traditional, internal hard disk
is the interface used to connect it to the computer's motherboard. Three types of
interface exist:
SATA IDE SCSI
Serial Advance Technology Integrated Device Electronics Small Computer System Interface
(also known as UDMA)
