Well we finally finished our Computers 101 session. Hopefully you guys were able to take something from those posts that you didn't know before. As I said at the end of most of the posts, there was a lot more information that we could have talked about but we would have been on each topic for such a long time. As each comes up though in future posts I'm sure we'll be able to dig into even more detail on each.
1. CPU - The brain of the PC. Takes instructions from programs and executes them.
2. Motherboard - Houses many components of a PC and allows them to communicate with each other.
3. RAM - Random Access Memory. Very fast storage that can be accessed quickly by the CPU.
4. Hard Drives - Primary storage for all your programs, pictures, songs, etc.
While there are other components that can be in a computer, these are the basics that are needed to make a PC. You can have additional components like sound cards (to improve sound quality), video capture cards (to capture TV and record it on the hard drive), and optical drives (to read/write from/to cds and dvds). Half the fun of building a personalized computer is making it custom for whatever you are going to be using it for.
Well this wraps up Computers 101. As always if you have any questions or comments, feel free to send me a message. Thanks for reading and make sure to keep checking back for new updates and information. Stay uber my friends!
