  • Chapter 1 PC Architecture
    Chapter PC Architecture THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES ARE COVERED IN THIS CHAPTER: 1 1.1 Identify the names, purpose, and characteristics, of system modules. Recognize these modules by sight or definition. 1.5 Identify the names, purposes, and performance characteristics, of standardized/common peripheral ports, associated cabling, and their connectors. Recognize ports, cabling, and connectors, by sight. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL A personal computer (PC) is a computing device made up of many distinct electronic components that all function together in order to accomplish some useful task (such as adding up the numbers in a spreadsheet or helping you write a letter). By this definition, note that we’re describing a computer as having many distinct parts that work together. Most computers today are modular. That is, they have components that can be removed and replaced with a component of similar function in order to improve performance. Each component has a very specific function. In this chapter, you will learn about the components that make up a typical PC, what their function is, and how they work together inside the PC. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, throughout this book the terms PC and computer can be used interchangeably. The components in most computers include: The case The power supply The motherboard The processor /CPU Memory Storage devices The adapter cards Display devices Ports and cables As you read this chapter, please keep in mind that many of these parts will be covered in more detail in later chapters. Figure 1.1 shows an example of a typical PC and illustrates how some of these parts fit together.
