that use these pieces of hardware. How input and output devices link to the applications is controlled by this core program. Device Manager When a new device is made it has a program to control it, known as a “driver”. This driver is built to become a plug-in to the operating system, allowing the link to be built between the applications and that hardware device. If a device has not got a driver it cannot be used by the applications. Classes of devices however may use the same driver. An example

existence, including work, school, learning and play. Many modern activities, such as social media, information sharing and business applications require computers, and people cannot complete these actions without one. “The computer is an electronic device used in almost every field even where it is most unexpected. It is made up of two things one is the hardware and other is software. All physical components of computer like keyboard, mouse, monitor etc. comes under the hardware while all the programs

information for a specific purpose of objective. Four basic functions of an IS are Input, Processing, Output, and Feedback. * Input: Data and information about business transactions are captured or collected by point-of-sale scanners and web sites and received by other input devices. * Processing: Data is transformed, converted, and analyzed for storage or transfer to an output device. * Output: Data, information, reports, and so on are distributed to digital screens or hardcopy

the motherboard with 64bit busses and 32bit. Basically the processor socket is the input socket for the processor, the ddr2 memory slots are for the ram (random access memory), and the heat sink acts as a radiator for the processor on the north bridge, the south bridge chip is the side of the motherboard that manages Legacy, Bios, IDE, ISA, USB, and PCI. The PCI slot is for adapters for optional video input or modems, the CMOS battery remembers the BIOS of the motherboard even when pc is turned

Unit 1 Lab 1: Computer Model Understanding Activity Eric Presnall 11/10/2014 When computer scientist John von Neumann designed his computer model in the 1940s, it was based on two main components: a central processing unit (CPU) and a storage structure (memory). This is the basis of most computers in use today. The purpose of this architecture was to show how a computer would access and run stored programs that contain programmed instructions and data. These are stored in random access memory
