Inside the Computer Ms. Rocío Acevedo September 2006

Information  Computer transforms information into binary code (0 and 1), process that information, and then displays results we can understand.

Binary Code – – – – – – 5 1 bit = 0 or 1 1 byte = 8 bits 1 Kb = 1024 bytes 1 Mb = 1024 Kb 1 Gb = 1024 Mb

Central Processing Unit Peripheral devices INPUT OUTPUT STORAGE Control Unit Aritmetical Logical Unit Processor Random Access Memory

Inside the Computer

Some Special Terms  CPU – Central Processing Unit  RAM – Random Access Memory  IDE – Integrated Drive Electronics  BIOS – Basic Input/Output System  AGP – Accelerated Graphics Port  PCI – Peripheral Component Interconnect
