hardware can be divided in two groups: parts that are found in the central unit – housing of the computer called components and external parts called peripheral units. There is a range of computer components, but we will mention the most important, explaining their function and role in the computer. We can point out the following basic elements of computer system: * Motherboard (mainboard) * Processor (CPU - central processing unit) * Memory (RAM - random acces memory) * Graphic

organized varies, but here are the basics: The motherboard system bus carries information into and out of the CPU. When the system bus enters the CPU, it’s called a Front side bus. The Front side bus usually uses a 64-bit wide data path. On the side of the CPU you will find a controller. A controller manages the basic functions of the CPU, and controls communication between the motherboard and other components within the CPU. These other components includes one or more ALUs and internal cache. An
