Everything about computers!!!!!?suzuki



This question could only be answered with a book....and big one, at that. As a PC Technician/Network Administrator, I get lots of questions about individual components and programs. Here's a brief list of the main components and what they do:



CPU: The central processing unit is the ''brain'' of your PC. It runs the operating system and processes commands. Current speeds are around 3 GHz for single-core processors, and 2.5 - 3 GHz for dual or multi-cores.



RAM: Random Access Memory. It stores everything you're doing while toiling away at the PC. The more RAM you have, the more programs you can run simultaneously. 512 MB to 1 GB is typical. 2 GB is typical for gamers.



Motherboard: The central nervous system of your PC. All other components are plugged into the motherboard.



Video Card: A card housing a special Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), dedicated to ''drawing'' everything that appears on your screen.



Sound Card: Another dedicated card that processes sound-data.



PSU: Power Supply Unit. This converts your outlet's 110-120 Volt alternating current into what the computer needs (12V and 5V streams of electricity to various components).
