Task2 Identifying Components

This document discusses the different types of computer components and their functions. It describes the motherboard as connecting all the components together and containing the CPU. RAM is defined as volatile memory that allows for temporary storage of data and programs being used. ROM is non-volatile memory that stores low-level startup instructions for the computer's boot process. Storage devices like hard disk drives are used to permanently store programs and files, with external drives allowing removal of this storage. The graphics card processes and outputs visual images to displays. Peripherals are external devices that allow input and output of data to and from the computer.
