By this name are known all electronic components or electro-mechanical, which make the machine work and with which a computer can physically handle the information. The hardware performs the four basic activities of any computer: input, processing, storage and disposal. Each of the components may, therefore, be doomed to perform one or more of these functions.
Motherboard:
Every computer has a plate mother, a cornerstone of a computer in charge of all other intercommunicate plates , peripheral and other components together.
Microprocessor:
Located in the heart of the motherboard, is the "brain" of the computer. Is logically called CPU .
Memory:
The RAM where saves the information being used at the time. It also has ROM , which stores BIOS and basic configuration of the computer.
Other plates:
usually are connected to the bays free of the motherboard. Other plates include: Graphics Accelerator , sound , network , etc.
cooling devices :
The most common are the coolers (fans) and heatsinks .
Electrical Supply :
To supply power to the computer.
and tc.
USB , serial port , parallel port , for connection to external peripherals.
Components Storage
are the typical components used for storage on a computer. It could also include the RAM in this category.
Hard Drives:
devices are the most common mass storage in computers. store operating system and files the user .
Optical Drives:
units for reading CDs , DVDs , Blu-Rays and HD-DVDs .
Diskettes:
The floppy drives to read, almost unused today.
components or peripherals out:
are components that connect to different ports on the computer, but remain outside it. Are "out" because the main flow of data goes from your computer to e l peripheral .
Monitor:
connects to the video card (often built into the motherboard) and is responsible for displaying the tasks held in the computer. Today come in CRT or LCD .
Printer:
computer Print documents on paper or other media.
Speakers :
part of the sound system on your computer. It connects to the output of the sound card (often built into the motherboard).
external peripheral components or input:
are components that connect to different ports on the computer, but remain outside it. They are "entry" because the main flow Data goes from the peripheral to the computer.
Mouse :
device used to move a cursor in graphical user interfaces . Similar functions: the Touchpad , the Trackball , and Stylus .
Keyboard :
fundamental components for the entry of data into a computer .
Webcam :
opening video , especially for videoconferencing .
Scanners :
lets you scan documents or objects.
Joystick , wheel , gamepad : can control computer games .
