Resumo de Recurso

Software, Hardware and Microprocessors
  1. Hardware
    1. Hardware is the physical parts of the computer system – the parts that you can touch and see.
      1. Examples of hardware include the motherboard, CPU and keyboard
      2. Software
        1. Software is not a physical thing. It can of course be stored on a physical medium such as a CD-ROM
          1. An operating system such as Windows XP or Mac OS X, applications such as Microsoft Word, and the instructions that control a robot are all examples of software.
          2. Microprocessors
            1. A microprocessor is a computer processor on a microchip
              1. The microprocessor contains all, or most of, the central processing unit (CPU) functions and is the "engine" that goes into motion when you turn your computer on. A microprocessor is designed to perform arithmetic and logic operations that make use of small number-holding areas called registers. Typical microprocessor operations include adding, subtracting, comparing two numbers, and fetching numbers from one area to another. These operations are the result of a set of instructions that are part of the microprocessor design.
