Introduction to Hardware

What is binary? We use the decimal (base 10) number system Binary is the base 2 number system Ten different numbers are used in base 10. How many are used in base 2?

Bits & Bytes kilo, mega, and giga are different in binary! bit (b) – a binary digit KiloBit (Kb) – 2 10 bits MegaBit (Mb) – 2 20 bits GigaBit (Gb) – 2 30 bits Byte (B) – 8 binary digits KiloByte (KB) – 2 10 bytes MegaByte (MB) – 2 20 bytes GigaByte (GB) – 2 30 bytes

Storage Scam! Example: iPod Nano 16GB

Input Devices Keyboard Mouse Webcam …any others?

Output Devices Monitor Printer Speakers any others?

Power Supply Often comes included with the case Connects computer to electricity

Central Processing Unit (CPU) Computer’s thinking/calculating brain part Pay attention to: Model (e.g. Intel Core i5) Clock speed (e.g. 2 GHz) Socket type (e.g. LGA 1156)

Random Access Memory (RAM) Computer’s memory part of the brain Pay attention to: Brand (e.g. Crucial, Kingston) Size (e.g. 2GB) Speed (e.g. DDR MHz)

Graphics (Video) Card Specializes in displaying graphics Pay attention to: Brand (NVIDIA, ATI) Size (512 GB) Speed

Hard Drive Stores everything Pay attention to: Brands (Western Digital, Seagate) Speed (e.g RPMs) Size (e.g. 512 GB)

CD/DVD Pay attention to what it can burn…

Motherboard Connects EVERYTHING!
