Computer Tour: Video Notes

7 main parts to a computer:

Motherboard is the most important part of the computer

cpu is the central processing unit
it runs the software and processes data
it's usually like a fan

RAM: is the random access memory . sits on motherboard. you'll find 1,2 or 3 banks of RAM
stick of memory added to motherboard (in a slot)

video card connects to motherboard in vid card slide
gamers update vid cards every 3 to 6 months
power suppl...all the wires are from there

hard disk holds info even when power is off

old machine: contains personal info. deleting is no enough. you've got to DESTROY the drive. ppl can get through it if they use the right toold

cds and dvds can't handle deep scratches. they keep data and stuff u wanna save on it.
