ABOUT COMPUTER'S HARDWARE

  

Computers in general is a personal computer (PC) in a desktop or tower case consists of the following parts:

 1. Processor

Processor is also called the brain of the computer the better the processor type, the more expensive the computer, it is referred to as the core processor of the computer. Processor function is to process all of the activities carried out computer, the user requested.

2. Mother board (motherboard)

is a circuit board where various interconnected electronic components such as a PC or Macintosh and commonly abbreviated mobo.Motherboard words that were encountered in the market today are owned PC motherboard that was first created by the base in order to fit the specifications of the IBM PC.

3. Chipset

Components on the motherboard this one mostly consists of two chips, north bridge and south bridge.The main function is to regulate the flow of data chipset antarkomponen installed on the motherboard. Two pieces of the chipset on the motherboard itself usually has different tasks with each other.Chip on the north bridge serves to regulate the flow of data to and from the processor, AGP bus, and the system's main memory. Meanwhile, the south bridge chip regulates the flow of data from input output devices, PCI bus, hard drive interface and floppy, and other external devices. Due north bridge chip is more vital than the south bridge works, I wonder if the chip is mounted with heatsink, fan, or a combination heatsink and fan by the manufacturers.

4. AGP

Stands for Accelerated Graphics Port. Its function is to transmit data from the CPU to the graphics card without having to go through the main memory, so the data processing can be accelerated graphics. Another advantage is the ability to AGP execute texture maps directly from the main memory. Comes with a variety of flavors, today most motherboards include AGP 4X bus that works at a frequency of 266MHz. For now, the port used for this new AGP graphic card which is actually faster than using the PCI bus. However, some recent motherboards have AGP Pro includes a port that can be fitted with either 4X AGP based graphics card or AGP Pro based on its own

5. Memory Sockets

The socket is a place to put the memory on the motherboard. Memory sockets have different forms for different types of memory. Most motherboards have slots 3 or 4 pieces, depending on the chipset used. For memory SDRAM DIMM sockets must-have is a socket 168 pin, while for the memory type DDR socket is installed for the 184 pin socket.

6. Processor socket

It is a place to put the processor. If the days of old, there are other options besides socket system is the system slot. However, after the era of the second generation PentiumIII, a slot was later abandoned because of the cost of production is more expensive than using a socket. For business this processor socket, choose a motherboard with the right socket processors. Socket 370 for Intel PentiumIII and Celeron processors, socket A for AMD Athlon and Duron processors, and socket 423/478 for Pentium4 processor.

7. CMOS

Stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. From the shape is visible, it is a component of the form IC (integrated circuit) The function holds the BIOS settings and can even keep its settings for mendayainya batteries are still good.

8. Power socket (power supply, fan)

Its function is to supply power to all the components connected to the motherboard.

9. Casing Connector

Serves to connect the button / switch and indicator on the chassis to the motherboard, such as: power switch, reset switch, power led, harddisk led, usb port (front usb) and audio port (front port).

10. Parallel Port

To Connect Printer, such as: Printer Epson LQ-2180, LQ-1170, etc.

11. USB Port

To connect a device that supports Usb,such as: printer, flashdisk, USB mouse & keyboard, external hard drive, data cable, and other devices.
