Network - 2What is a CPU?- CPU is the 'brain' of the computer. It executes software and the OS.
- Its functions are to Fetch, Decode, Execute and Store. - 3How does the CPU Fetch?- Fetch: Each instruction is stored in memory and has its own address. The processor takes this address number from the program counter, which is responsible for tracking which instructions the CPU should execute next.
- 4How does the CPU Decode?- Decode: All programs to be executed are translated to into Assembly instructions. Assembly code must be decoded into binary instructions, which are understandable to your CPU. This step is called decoding.
- 5How does the CPU Execute?Execute: While executing instructions the CPU can do one of three things: Do calculations with its ALU, move data from one memory location to another, or jump to a different address.
- 6How does the CPU Store?Store: The CPU must give feedback after executing an instruction and the output data is written to the memory.
- 7Where is the CPU inserted?- It is inserted in the Motherboard CPU Socket.
- 8What is the difference between Intel CPU and AMD CPU?- Intel: The back of the CPU has no pins.
- AMD: The back of the CPU has pins. - 9What is a RAM?- Random Access Memory (RAM) is a device that allows information to be stored and retrieved on a Computer.
- 10How does the RAM connect to the Motherboard?- It is connected to the DIMM Slot.
- 11Can you install two RAMs with a differing speed?- No, as the motherboard will run the memory chip that is the slowest out of the two RAMs.
- 12What is a Motherboard?- A motherboard is a printed circuit board that is a foundation of a computer where all hardware are inserted and connected to the CPU.
- It is connected via PSU cables. - 13What are Peripheral Cards?- Graphics Card: It contains graphics processing unit (GPU) specially designed to handle graphics.
- Sound Card: It allows and facilitates the use of audio components for multimedia applications. - 14How is the graphics card connected to the motherboard?- It is connected via the PCI-E slot.
- 15What are storage devices?- It stores code and data for future use or archiving
- It is connected via SATA cables
- E.G Hard drives, Solid State Drives (SSD), Thumb drives and ETC. - 16What is an Optical Disk Drive?- It reads CDs and shit
- 17What is a Network Interface Card?- It helps the computer to connect to a computer network such as a LAN.
- 18What is a Power Supply Unit (PSU) ?- It provides power to the computer system via the motherboard.
- 19What is a Chasis?- It helps to ensure that the connections are solid
- It protects the hardware from any harm
- It helps to organize wires and connectors - 20What is the Von Neumann computer architecture model?
