This document provides definitions and descriptions of common computer hardware components. It explains that the monitor displays visual output from the computer, the motherboard connects and integrates all internal components, and the processor is the central component that processes information. It also describes expansion cards, RAM memory, PCI cards, power supplies, CD-ROM drives, floppy disk drives, keyboards, mice, and other internal computer parts and how they function within a desktop PC system.

2. The monitor is an
electronic output
device of the
computer on which
the images and texts
generated by a
graphics adapter or
video of this is. The
term monitor usually
refers to the video
screen, and its main
and only function is
to allow the user to
interact with the
computer.

3. the motherboard,
motherboard or
motherboard is a
printed circuit
board that allows
the integration of
all components of a
computer. For this,
it has a basic
software known as
BIOS, which allows
you to perform its
functions.

4. The processor is
referred to different
types of items of
information systems
as part of a
microprocessor that is
part of a CPU or
micro which is the
brain of the computer
and all information
processes from the
simplest to the most
complex

5. is an expansion card that
allows connection of various
types of internal IDE devices,
this is hard drives and optical
drives and floppy drives and
certain ports. The controller
card is inserted into
expansion slots or "Slots"
integrated main latarjeta
("Motherboard") and screwed
to the cabinet to prevent
movement and thus failures.
These types of cards up one
or more ports for connecting
external devices such as a
mouse, printer, scanner, etc.

6. RAM or random access
frequently used for storing
computer programs and data
information. The
distinguishing feature of this
type of memory is that it is a
volatile memory, ie, it loses
its data when it stops
receiving power. Typically,
when the computer is turned
off. Thus, it differs from
other memories, such as
ROM, which has the ability to
store information
independentemente power
conditions available.

7. Its acronym is "Peripheral
Component Interconnect" to
peripheral component
interconnect, and hardware
components are connected to
the motherboard of your
computer; the size of a CD
case or so, and a variety of
uses. All the processes done
through the internal bus of
the motherboard itself. They
are installed in slots, usually
white and cards installed,
the connectors are prepared
on the back of the computer.
Before installing the PCI
card, we will remove the
blind cover that protects the
slot in the box so that no
dirt.

8. in desktop PCs, the
aforementioned source of power is
located at the rear of the cabinet
and is complemented by a fan that
prevents the device from
overheating.
The power, therefore, can be
described as a source of electrical
type is able to transmit electrical
current by the generation of a
potential difference across its
terminals. It is developed based on
an ideal source, a concept
contemplated by circuit theory for
describing and understanding the
behavior of electronic parts and
real circuits.

9. es un disco
compacto que utiliza
rayos láser para
almacenar y leer
grandes cantidades de
información en formato
digital. El CD-ROM
estándar fue
establecido
en 1985 por Sonyy Philip
s2 . Pertenece a un
conjunto de libros de
colores conocido
como Rainbow
Books que contiene las
especificaciones
técnicas para todos los
formatos de discos
compactos.

10. The floppy disk
drives are used in
desktop computers
to store
information on
floppy disks.
Floppy disks are
small amounts of
data (up to 1.44
MB). The floppy
disk is made of
plastic, aluminum

11. a keyboard is an input
device or peripheral,
partly inspired keyboard
typewriters, which uses
an arrangement of
buttons or keys, to act
as mechanical levers or
electronic switches that
send information to the
computer.
After the punch cards
and paper tape,
interaction via the
keyboard, the teletype
style, became the main
input device for
computers.

12. It is a pointing device
used to facilitate handling
of a graphical
environment on a
computer. It is usually
made of plastic, and is
used with one hand.
Detects relative
movement in two
dimensions by the flat
surface on which it rests,
usually reflected by a
pointer, or cursor arrow on
the monitor. The mouse
can be connected to a
wired (PS / 2 ports and
USB) or wireless (wireless
communication or
wireless, through a USB
adapter connects to the
computer and it sends the
