- 1What types of Hardware are found in a computer?Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Motherboard, Random Access Memory (RAM), Internal Storage, Network Interface Card, Power Supply
- 2What does the Central Processing Unit do?Processes all the instructions that the computer need to do. Uses the fetch, decode and execute cycle.
- 3How do you compare different CPU's?You need to compare the number of Cores you have and the clock speed.
Total Speed = Cores * Clock Speed - 4What is the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)?Processes the graphics that the computer runs, which removes the strain off of the CPU
- 5How do you compare Graphics Processing Units?You need to compare the bit rate, and the clock speed.
- 6What is the Motherboard?Its what every component plugs into and how all the data is transferred to each piece of hardware
- 7How do you compare Motherboards?You look at how many ports it has and if the hardware you have fits into it
- 8What is the RAM?Stores temporary data of the things that are currently running on the computer
- 9How do you compare RAM?You need look at the amount of storage capacity of the RAM and the read/write speed
- 10What is the ROM?Stores the boot up information in the CPU
- 11What is Internal Storage?The storage vessel of the computer which lets data be stored permanently
- 12How do you compare storage?Look at the storage capacity and data transfer speed
- 13What is a Network Interface Card?A piece of hardware that allows the device to connect to the internet by giving it an IP address
- 14How do you compare Network Interface Cards?Look at if the Network Card is wireless, wired or both
