   The biology of a computer is a very complex
    and sophisticated piece of modern day
    technology.

   I am going to show you the internal
    components of this amazing creation.
   The processor is a very essential piece of any
    computer it is the heart of the computer.

   It processes every data related action that the
    computer performs.
RAM is very quickly accessed for
Flash memory is a very robust     example: A word document would
form of memory and it retains     be taken from the main storage
data in the absence of a power.   (Hard Drive) And put into the RAM
                                  for quick access. The data stored
                                  in RAM is volatile meaning that
                                  data is lost when power is
                                  removed.

Solid state drive(SSD)is a solid chip of
                      memory instead of the traditional
 SATA Hard Drive      rotating disks.




A SATA hard drive is a mass storage device which is
connected to the computer via a SATA cable
SCSI



A SCSI Hard Drive works the same as a
PATA or SATA Hard drive using magnetic
strips but the only difference is the
connecting port that they use, In this case
a SCSI port.
This is a network card it has a
                        Ethernet port so that a computer
                        can connect to the internet via
                        Ethernet connecting




                               Different types of BUS
                               would include: Parallel, and

                               BUS would be USB.

• Type 1 cards are primarily used for adding additional ROM or RAM to
  a computer.
• Type 2 cards are often used for modern and fax modem cards.
• Type 3 cards can be up to 10.5mm thick and because of this size it
  can be used for portable disk drives.
An input device is a device that allows a user to input
 into a computer for example a keyboard.



Here are some examples
of input device
An output device is a device which allows a user to put a
command into a computer and something will come back
out for example music.
The most common input/output interface
would be USB because it is practically fast and
quite cheap.




A not so commonly used input/output
interface but is extremely fast but slightly
more expensive than the common USB would
be the FireWire cable.

  • 16. The processor is a very essential piece of any computer it is the heart of the computer.  It processes every data related action that the computer performs.
  • 17. RAM is very quickly accessed for Flash memory is a very robust example: A word document would form of memory and it retains be taken from the main storage data in the absence of a power. (Hard Drive) And put into the RAM for quick access. The data stored in RAM is volatile meaning that data is lost when power is removed.
  • 18. ROM (Read only memory) is a firmware chip that is programmed with specific data EPROM (Electrically programmable when it is manufactured, The read only memory) This chip can be data in this chip is non-volatile. erased with level of energy strong enough to break through the negative electronics blocking the floating gate. This is usually achieved with UV light at a frequency of 253.7
  • 19. Solid state drive(SSD)is a solid chip of memory instead of the traditional SATA Hard Drive rotating disks. A SATA hard drive is a mass storage device which is connected to the computer via a SATA cable
  • 20. SCSI A SCSI Hard Drive works the same as a PATA or SATA Hard drive using magnetic strips but the only difference is the connecting port that they use, In this case a SCSI port.
