So far, we have the central processing unit (CPU), Random Access Memory (RAM), hard drive, and a few sub-parts such as the memory controller chip (MCC) and Bus (one of the data highways). The CPU is the brain and the RAM contains temporal data that is routinely needed, or expected to be needed, by the CPU. The hard drive is the third-tier component that contains all permanent data. The hard drive cannot keep up with the speed of the CPU so the CPU retrieves data from the RAM through the Bus. The CPU’s process is initiated by the clock wire. Following, the CPU seeks to retrieve information by communicating with the RAM. Assuming the RAM contains the needed information, the CPU uses an address Bus to transmit the location of the data and execution command to the MCC. The MCC interprets the instructions, grabs the data, and returns the data through the Bus back to the CPU for processing. The CPU can then produce a solution for the person in front of the computer screen. Resour

Last week I watched a video that described the basic parts of a computer and a little about the function of each part. Since that video was published, all of the hardware mentioned has evolved materially and improved in processing capacity. For example, the evolution of processor configuration and data pathways. However, the basic functions are still the same. Power flows into the computer supply which is converted into a 12 volt (or less) power source for the numerous pieces of hardware. Some of the different power connectors include the 20/24 ATX for the motherboard. My computer used the 24 pin version. The CPU is attached directly to the mother board so it does not require external power. For my graphics card, two PCI-E 6 pin connectors are used for power and data is transferred through the PCI-E 2.0 x 16 connections. My HDDs and CD-ROMs use 5 pin SATA power connectors. The data travels to and from the HDDs and CD-ROMs by way of SATA data cables. The two fans in the computer are

Hello bloggers, my name is Howard. I am married, have two kids, and a dog. I am in the Air Force and live in Florida. Most of my time off work is spent at my kid's sporting events and on the coastal waters of south Florida. Currently, my knowledge of PCs is lacking compared to professional standards, but I am the family techy. When something doesn't work, I get voluntold to fix it. My knowledge is enough to get me into trouble. I know how to install hardware components such as power supplies, graphics cards, fans, USB expansions, SSDs/HDDs, CD drives and basic router hookup and setup. My graphics card is not working (which is probably from trying to overclock it). Because of that, I am familiar with reinstalling Windows on my PC. I can do basic software manipulations such as putting all non-Windows files on a separate HDD. I would love to buy a NAS, but I have not committed to it yet. My PC maintenance and troubleshooting capabilities are in-line with my basic PC knowledge. I
