Purpose Of Lesson Part 1 Hardware and the 5 basic hardware components required to have a working Personal Computer (PC).
5 BASIC COMPONENTS HARDWARE: CPU, MONITOR, KEYBOARD, MOUSE, SPEAKERS, MICROPHONE, COMPONENTS OF THE CPU, & ETC. CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU) MOTHERBOARD RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM) MEMORY CARDS THE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM HARD DRIVE
HARDWARE IS THE HARD PARTS OF THE COMPUTER THAT COULD BE HELD IN YOUR HAND!
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU) IS THE COMPUTERS MAIN BRAIN THAT DOES CALCULATIONS AND RUNS ALL THE OTHER PARTS OF THE COMPUTER.
