The motherboard connects all components in a computer and contains slots for the CPU, RAM, graphics card, and connections for other components like storage drives and power supply. The CPU processes data and has a fan to prevent overheating. RAM temporarily stores data for the CPU and determines performance. Hard drives permanently store large amounts of data that can be accessed through the operating system. Graphics cards display visuals on the computer and better ones allow for gaming. Power supplies take electricity from wall outlets and distribute different voltages to components through cables.

1. Component Presentation

2. A motherboard is the backbone of a computer unit it makes communication between the other components within the unit possible and it is where all the wires for the power buttons sounds lights and the hard drives etc.. Plug into so that they work.

3. The Central Processing unit(CPU) that is normally inserted into the motherboard this is the brain of the computer and it is normally has a fan which goes above it to make sure it doesn’t over heat and break the CPU.

4. Ram is inserted this determines the performance of the machine and these are plugged directly into the motherboard. These also temporary holds data which is needed by the processor for example games, videos etc.

5. The Hard drive which holds the data that is stored on the computer and the hard drive plugs straight into the motherboard and the memory can be accessed through the options on the computer. Read Only Memory is normally on the hard drive already. It stores data onto metal discs within the device and it can store terabytes of information most computers now have a c drive already on.

6. The Graphics card shows helps show images on the computer but some cannot show a lot maybe only a few images and the OS model but the bigger and better ones can help play games and such.

7. Computers have to have a power supply which takes power from the wall and outputs power at specific voltages on specific cable formats within the computer. Network Cards but these now are normally built into the motherboard and don’t need to be inserted because they are normally now built in.
