Back to inside the pc.

 

The Motherboard the main circuit board. It is a thin the plate inside the pc that holds the CPU/Processor, connectors for the hard drive, optical drives, expansion cards to control video, and auto plus connectors to USB ports.

 

CPU/ Processor the central processing unit, which CPU stands for. It is located inside the pc case on the Motherboard. The Motherboard is known as the brain of the pc. It carries out all different commands. Each time a key, mouse, start an app instruction is sent to the CPU, which is part of the hardware the pc itself. Therefore, it receives the information either coming from us whatever we do, software, etc, which is the input whereas the output sends the information. For example, if you are in the word. When putting in your USB and going into a file you may have saved and when adding more information that then tells the CPU/ Processor Central Processor Unit what to do as you press the keys. While doing that it may well be possible it is brought up possible codes etc you cannot see, which may be called the binary. Not to say that this information is correct at least most of it but what I have research it makes me think that way. I do not see myself as an IT expert I just write how I study.

 

 

According to my research, the CPU is normally 2 inches ceramal square which is with a silicon chip inside the pc. The chip is normally the size of a thumbnail. The CPU fits into the Motherboard’s CPU socket, which covers the heat sink, which absorbs heat from the CPU.

 

The speed of the processor is measured to megahertz MHz, there are millions of instructions to a second and gigahertz GHz or billions of instructions a second. A processor that is fast can pick up instructions quicker. The speed depends on the speed of the pc depending on different components, this is not just the processor.

 

RAM Ramon Access Memory.

The Ram measures the memory in the megabytes MB. The more Ram we have the more things the pc can do at the same time. If there’s not enough Ram it slows the pc down and if there are too many programs on once the pc is at risk of freezing if none or extraordinarily little Ram or and responding to whatever you type in etc. This can give need to restart etc. It is maybe possible to have extra Ram to try to improve.

 This is only a guess but it may be possible as the pc gets old if it has been used a lot, which may depend on the type of pc, the Ram may slow down to having its day. With some pcs it may not be the case as many old types of pcs may come into other uses.

 

Such new types of pcs as Windows 10 for example extra Ram may have been put in without us having to do so. This makes me think with the experience pf my pc today by it asking for an update ever so often keeps the pc working well as long as possible.

 

Hard drive.  The hard drive is where the software documents are, where the files are stored. The hard drive is a long – term storage. This means the data is saved even if the pc is off and not plugged in. When running through the program or open file, pc copies data from the hard drive on to the Ram, when it is saved to the data is copied back to the hard drive. The faster the drive, the faster the pc will start up then load programs.
