Computer Hardware 2

Assalamualaikum..

Hai!! For this post, I'm going to continue about the previous post which is Computer Hardware. But today, I'm going to focus more on computer rather than hardware.


Computer has 5 generation. The first generation (1940-1956) is Vacuum Tube. Second generation (1956-1963) is Transistor while the third (1964-1971) is integrated circuits or micro chip. The fourth generation (1971-present) is microprocessor and the last one (present and beyond) is artificial intelligence.


Computer architecture is the art that specifies relations and parts of a computer system. It consists of processor, memory( RAM/ ROM ), input, output, datapaths and control.  There are 6 categories of computers which are embedded computer, mobile computer, personal computer, midrange servers, mainframe computer and supercomputer.


System units is a box-like case housing the electronic components of a computer that used to process data. In a simple word system units is the main part of a desktop computer. It includes motherboard, CPU, RAM and other components. The components are processor, memory module, cards, ports and connectors. System units also known as 'tower' or 'chassis'.




The examples of system units and it components

Overall, I think this topic is so simple but there are so many components and the terms that made me confuse. But all the confusion were disappear after I've done wrote this topic. Hehe!! See you in the next post.
Wassalam..
