9. Main Components (Hardware) Motherboard The center of what makes a PC work Backbone of the Computer. It houses the CPU and is a hub that all other hardware runs through.

10. Main Components (Hardware) Memory Internal Memory Also called main or primary memory. External Memory Also called secondary memory.

11. Main Components (Hardware) Internal Memory ROM Read-Only Memory. Non-Volatile RAM Random-Access Memory. Volatile.

12. Main Components (Hardware) Random Access Memory Temporarily stores data while the central processing unit (CPU) is executing other tasks . Allowing the computer to run faster.

13. Main Components (Hardware) Types of Memory DRAM Pronounced (DEE-RAM). Dynamic RAM. Widely used as a computer memory. SRAM Pronounced (ES-RAM). Static RAM. It keeps data in the memory as long as power is supplied.

14. Main Components (Hardware) Types of DRAM Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM). Rambus DRAM (RDRAM). Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM).

15. Main Components (Hardware)

16. Main Components (Hardware) Hard Disk Drive (sometimes abbreviated as a  hard drive ,  HD , or  HDD ) is a non-volatile data storage device.  It is usually installed internally in a computer, attached directly to the disk controller of the computer's motherboard.

17. Main Components (Hardware) External Memory 7 Types of External Memory Compact Disc Digital Versatile Disc External Hard Disk Drive Flash Drive PC Card / PC External Memory Memory Card Online / C:oud Storage

18. Main Components (Hardware) Compact Disc Made in 1982. are one of the oldest forms of external memory. At the time, it was impressive how CDs were able to store up to 700 megabytes (MB).

19. Main Components (Hardware) Compact Disc CD Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM) —  This type of CD doesn’t allow users to erase nor write over whatever is in the disc. CD-Recordable (CD-R) —  A CD like this gives users the ability to write on the CD only once but has an unlimited number of reads available. CD Re-Writable (CD-RW) —  With a CD like this, you can erase and write over it for up to 1000 times.

20. Main Components (Hardware) Digital Versatile Disc Are much like CDs in that it also uses laser light to store and retrieve data. This particular way of storing or retrieving data is characteristic of optical storage devices . In comparison to CDs, DVDs have much  higher  storage capacity. This external memory is capable of storing 4.7 gigabytes (GB) of data as a standard.

21. Main Components (Hardware) External Hard Disk Drive an external hard drive is portable and connects to a computer via a USB cable or even without a wire. An external hard drive has a high storage capacity. Its storage capacity can range from 500MB to 1TB.

22. Main Components (Hardware) Flash Drive is a small device that can store and transfer data to and from various other devices. It has plenty of other names such as USB drive, pen drive, thumb drive, and more.

23. Main Components (Hardware) PC Card | PC External Memory They are slim, and are approximately the size of a credit card.

24. Main Components (Hardware) Memory Card are smaller and thinner external memory that users usually store in other devices. The most common types of memory cards are CompactFlash, a Memory Stick, an SD Card, and the xD -Picture Card.

25. Main Components (Hardware) Online | Cloud Storage Online, or “cloud storage” is another option that utilizes the Internet . Is a physical server, it still enables you to access your data anywhere.  Popular cloud storage service providers include Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft’s OneDrive.

26. Main Components (Hardware) Expansion Cards Alternatively referred to as an  add-on card ,  expansion board ,  internal card ,  interface adapter , or  card an  expansion card  is a PCB that fits into an expansion slot on a desktop com An expansion card is used to give a computer additional capabilities puter .

27. Main Components (Hardware) Types of Expansion Cards Interface Card Modem MPEG Decoder Network Card Sound Card Video Captured Card Video Card

28. Main Components (Hardware) Interface Card ATA Bluetooth EIDE FireWire IDE USB

29. Main Components (Hardware) Modem A  modem  or  broadband modem  is a hardware device that connects a computer or router to a  broadband network. Short for  modulator/demodulator. a  modem  is a hardware device that allows a computer to send and receive information over telephone lines. 

30. Main Components (Hardware) MPEG Decoder MPEG  ( Moving Pictures Expert Group ) is a widely-used video codec used to display video and DVD files.

31. Main Components (Hardware) Network Card Short for  network interface card. the  NIC  is also referred to as an  Ethernet card  and  network adapter . is a computer expansion card for connecting to a network (e.g., home network or Internet) using an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.

32. Main Components (Hardware) Sound Card Alternatively referred to as an  audio output device ,  sound board , or  audio card . A  sound card  is an expansion card or IC for producing sound on a computer that can be heard through speakers or headphones.

33. Main Components (Hardware) Video Capture Card Internal or external device that connects from the computer or device to a video camera or similar device capable of capturing a video signal.

34. Main Components (Hardware) Video Card Alternatively known as a  display adapter ,  graphics card ,  video adapter ,  video board , or  video controller , a  video card  is an expansion card that connects to a computer motherboard . It is used to create a picture on a display; without a video card, you would not be able to see this page. 

35. Main Components (Hardware) Power Supply Abbreviated as  PS  or  P/S , a  power supply  or  PSU  ( power supply unit ). Is a hardware component of a computer that supplies all other components with power.
