CPU Usage
If the CPU usage is around 100%, it means that your computer is trying to handle more work than it can handle. As a result, your computer will become slower.
Processor
A processor is created using a core, an integrated circuit. The CPU chip, developed using Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology, is known as the core. This chip consists of thousands of microelectronic components such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, and diodes that are interconnected.
How a Computer Works
Here is how a computer works:
- The computer receives incoming data and instructions from the outside.
- It then stores them in memory.
- It processes them according to the guidelines of the computer program.
Difference between RAM and ROM
- ROM: ROM is a non-volatile memory that permanently stores computer instructions.
- RAM: RAM is a volatile memory that temporarily holds the files you are working on. Click here for more information on RAM.
Essential Components of a Standard PC
The essential components of a standard PC are:
- Recognition of system unit components, such as the optical drive and its media (CD and DVD).
- Expansion slots for memory cards and their media (SD).
- Power button.
- Ventilation grills.
- I/O panel.
- Sockets.
- Fan.
- Switch.
Main Parts of a Computer
The main parts that make up a computer are:
- Hardware
- Software
Motherboard
The motherboard, also known as the mainboard or motherboard, serves as the base for all other integrated circuit components. It allows the acquisition of electrical current and connects the various components together. It acts as a foundation on which everything else can be built.
RAM (Random Access Memory)
RAM is a type of memory in computers that is measured in gigabytes (GB). It holds the data needed to start and use different programs. RAM, also known as random access memory or RAM, is where the information that a program needs during execution is stored.
Types of RAM
While RAM can be of type DDR, DDR2, DDR3, or DDR4, most RAM sold in the market is of type DDR3 and DDR4. The term "double data rate" comes from English and refers to the speed of these memories compared to the older "single data rate" memories.
