4. Chapter 1: PART I
Introduction to Personal Computer
Software
• Introduction
Your PC (Personal Computer) is a system, consisting of
many components. Some of those components, like Windows
XP, and all your other programs, are software. The stuff you
can actually see and touch is hardware.
• Hardware
The hardware are the parts of computer itself including
the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and related microchips and
micro-circuitry, keyboards, monitors, case and drives (hard,
CD, DVD, floppy, optical, tape, etc...).
Other extra parts called peripheral components or
devices include mouse, printers, modems ,scanners, digital
cameras and cards (sound, color, video) etc...
5. Chapter 2: Processor
The Central Processing Unit,
Which is often referred to as the
"Processor" is the brain of the computer.
The chip that performs the majority of
calculations and instructions needed to
make your computer run. Without this
chip, no other function of the PC is
possible. The processor is attached to the
motherboard (Processor slot).
• The speed of the CPU
The computer's speed or clock
rate is integral to its overall design. The
computers clock rate is the frequency at
which it can execute a set of instructions.
Computer clock rates are measured in
Megahertz (millions of clock ticks per
second). There are two types of speeds
that should be considered when
evaluating the system performance:
• Internal clock speed - Is the speed at
which the processor can obtain
information within itself, like with
internal cache and registers.
(Pentium III 800 MHz. the 800 MHz is
the internal clock speed)
• External clock speed - Is the speed at
which the CPU communicates with
components outside itself.
6. Chapter 3: Motherboard
The motherboard is the main
circuit board inside your PC. Every
components at some point
communicates through the
motherboard, either by directly plugging
into it or by communicating through one
of the motherboards ports.
The motherboard is one big
communication highway. Its purpose
inside your PC is to provide a platform for
all the other components and
peripherals to talk to each other.
• Modern motherboards come with
the following features:
• Processor slot : Processor slot is used
for processor.
• Memory banks : Memory banks are
used for RAM modules.
• AGP slot : AGP slots are used for
graphics accelerators.
• PCI slots : PCI slots are used to
provide connectivity for PCI cards
such as modems and sound cards.
• IDE : IDE are used to connect and
control IDE devices such as hard
drives and CD-ROM drives.
• USB ports : USB ports are used to
connect USB devices.
• These are just some of the features
that a motherboard may have as
standard, some motherboards come
with integrated components such as
a sound card, graphics card, modem,
NIC (Network Interface Card) and
more.
7. Chapter 4: RAM
RAM (Random Access Memory) is the
basic working memory of your computer
system. A computer used RAM to hold
volatile (Temporary) instructions and
data needed for processing. Volatile
simply means that it is not permanent,
which means anything written to RAM
will be loses if the machine loses power
or if it's turned off. Another key point
about RAM is that data stored unit can
be accessed much more quickly than
data retrieved from the hard disk.
Theoretically data retrieved from RAM is
accessed 100 to 300 times faster than
the same information from a hard disk,
optical drive, or a floppy. Memory is
measured in bytes, so you'll often
encounter the terms megabyte (MB) and
gigabyte (GB) in describing RAM sizes (a
megabyte is a million bytes; a gigabyte, a
billion). RAM is something that you do
not want to skimp on. You can choose a
slower processor, but with RAM you
want as much as you can get.
• Types of RAM:
8. Chapter 5: HardDisk
The hard disk (or hard drive) is the permanent
storage area of your computer. It stores
information whether the computer is on or off. A
hard drive is a mass storage device found in all PCs
(with some exclusions) that is used to store
permanent data such as the operating system,
programs and user files. The data on hard drives
can be erased and/or overwritten, the hard drive
is classed as a non-volatile storage device which
means it doesn't require a constant power supply
in order to retain the information stored on it
(unlike RAM).
Hard Drive RPM Speeds
You will often see hard drives advertised as being capable of a certain RPM
(Revolutions Per Minute), this figure (as the name suggests) refers to how many times
the spindle makes a complete 360? turn in any single minute. RPM values range from
about 5,400RPM to 12,000RPM and above.
9. Chapter 6: Card
Video Card
VGA Card is the one sending the monitor
signal to the monitor.
A computer video card is placed in the
motherboard, where it transfers video
signals through a cable to your monitor.
The sound card is an essential
component in the PC, since it translates
digital signals into analog audio for your
listening pleasure. Well, that's true, if you
want to play games or run multimedia
applications in your PC. Otherwise, it
may not be necessary, especially in
business environments.
Sound Card
10. Network CardModem Card
A device that translates data from your
PC into a form that can be sent to other
computers over regular phone lines.
The modem also receives signals from
other computers and converts it into
something your computer can
understand. A modem is the device
most home computers use to connect
to the Internet.
A network interface card(NIC) is a device that
allows computers to be joined together in a
LAN, or local area network. Networked
computers communicate with each other using
a given protocol or agreed-upon language for
transmitting data packets between the different
machines, known as nodes .
The network interface card acts as the
liaison for the machine to both send and
receive data on the LAN.
11. Chapter 7: Peripherals
. Keyboards
The keyboard is the main
input device for most computers.
There are many sets of keys on a
typical “windows” keyboard. On
the left side of the keyboard are
regular alphanumeric and
punctuation keys similar to those
on a typewriter. These are used
to input textual information to
the PC.
• Mouse
Mouse is another input device used
in computer. Mouse is a device that
controls the movement of the cursor
or pointer on a display screen. A
mouse is a small object you can roll
along a hard, flat surface. As you
move the mouse, the pointer on the
display screen moves in the same
direction. Mouse contain at least one
button and sometimes as many as
three, which have different functions
depending on what program is
running.
12. • Floppy Drive
You need a floppy drive to read the
floppy. A floppy disk can hold only 1.44
megabytes, but it is portable and allows
you to make copies of your files.
• CD-RW
• CD - Rom
.
• Monitor
CD writer is
used to write
CD. It can also
used as a CD
drive. CD can
be able to write
with different
formats.
Most software
packages come in
CD format, so
you must have a
CD-ROM drive to
read them.
The information video card sends
controls which dots are lit up and how
bright they are, which determines the
picture you see.
Monitor is the
display device. Many
times per second,
the video card sends
signals out to the
monitor.
13. Chapter 8: Case And Power Supply
8. Computer Case
The computer case is your computer's
housing. You need this to store your components, the
largest of which is your motherboard.
. Power Supply
• The graphic below shows each power cable
and its name.
The computer power supply is placed
inside the computer case generally near the top
of the case. It is sometimes necessary to buy a
mini power supply for some cases are so small
that they need one. Most computer cases when
bought come with a power supply that is suited
to its case. There are usually power ports on the
motherboard for the fans in the case but if not it
is possible to buy an adapter that will convert
power from the 4-pin power cable to a fan power
cable.
14. Microsoft PowerPoint is used heavily in a lot of
people’s lives, such as creating business
presentations, making school study courses and
personal photo album slideshows. Nowadays,
Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 has generated a large
amount of the interest among various people all over
the world.

16. 2. Manage presentations with tools that save time and simplify your work
•Compress video and audio in your
presentation to reduce file size for
easy sharing and improved playback
performance. The option to compress
media is just one of many new
features available from the new
Microsoft Office Backstage™ view.
Backstage view replaces the
traditional File menu in all Office 2010
applications to provide a centralized,
organized space for all of your
presentation management tasks.
•Easily customize the improved Ribbon to
make the commands you need most
accessible. Create custom tabs or even
customize built-in tabs. With PowerPoint
2010, you’re in control.
It’s much easier to create and manage presentations when you can work the way you want.
17. 3. Work together more successfully
If you are one of the many people who work with others on presentations and projects,
PowerPoint 2010 is the perfect tool for you.
•Broadcast your slide show to people in other locations, whether or not they have PowerPoint
installed.2 Create a video of your presentation—including your transitions, animations,
narration, and timings—to share with virtually anyone, any time after your live broadcast.
•If you’re in a small company or using
PowerPoint for home or school work,
you can take advantage of co-authoring
features through Windows Live. All you
need is a free Windows Live account to
simultaneously edit presentations with
others. An instant messenger account
(such as the free Windows Live
Messenger) is required to view presence
of authors and start an instant
messaging conversation.
•Use new co-authoring capabilities to edit the same presentation, at the same time, with
people in different locations.
18. 4. Access and share your content from more places
•Microsoft PowerPoint Web App is an online
companion to Microsoft PowerPoint which enables
you to extend your PowerPoint experience to the
browser.
•Microsoft PowerPoint Mobile enables you to view
and edit presentations on your phone. PowerPoint
slides display full screen with rich graphics and
animation effects.
Your ideas, deadlines, projects, and work emergencies don’t always occur
conveniently when you are at your desk. Fortunately, you now have the power to get things
done when and where you need to, from the Web or even from your smartphone.1
Whether you’re creating the pitch of your career, working with a team on an
important presentation, or getting work done on the run, PowerPoint 2010 gives you
the power to work more easily and with more flexibility to accomplish your goals.
