a-VGA-Card-news.html
A VGA Card – also known as a video/display card or graphics
adapter – is utilised in order to process and generate an output
image feed to a computer monitor or display. Linking up with a
computer’s motherboard, a video card contains a cooling
mechanism, processing unit, connections to a display device, and
its own memory.

2. WHAT IS MOTHERBOARD

motherboard.html
So what is a motherboard? A computer motherboard (also
known as the mainboard) is one of the most crucial
components of a computer.
As the name suggests, a motherboard is the mother to all the
other parts. In other words, everything in a computer
connects to the motherboard. A motherboard (mobo) is the
primary circuit board in a computer.

3. WHAT IS RAM SLOT

RAM slots are slots on your motherboard where you put
your RAM (Random Access Memory) modules.
RAM only goes in one way with these slots, so make sure
that the memory (RAM) modules have their notches lined
up with those on the board.

4. WHAT IS POWER SUPLY

The power supply unit is the piece of hardware that's used
to convert the power provided from the outlet into usable
power for the many parts inside the computer case.
It converts the alternating current (AC) into a continuous
form of power that the computer components need in order
to run normally, called direct current (DC). It also regulates
overheating by controlling voltage, which may change
automatically or manually depending on the power supply.

Below is a graphic illustration of an ISA Modem expansion card

(click the picture to get a descriptive overview).

As seen in the picture, an expansion card has two main parts, the
first is the gold plated connector that connects to a motherboard
expansion slot and the connector plate. Typically the back metal
plate has connections that allow an outside device to communicate
with the card and computer. In this example, the modem has two
RJ-11 jacks that allow it to communicate over a phone line.

6. WHAT IS PROCESSOR

processor

A computer’s processor is all about speed and how quickly and

efficiently it can open and run your programs. You may hear
people talk about the amount of ‘cores’ a processor has, a core is
essentially a special unit that sits inside your processor. As a
simple rule of thumb, the more cores your processor has, the more
things you’ll be able to do simultaneously. Find out more about
these clever cores below.

7. WHAT IS CD-ROM DRIVER

Taken From : http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/CD-ROM

CD-ROM (Compact Disc, read-only-memory) is an adaptation

of the CD that is designed to store computer data in the form
of text and graphics, as well as hi-fi stereo sound. The original
data format standard was defined by Philips and Sony in the
1983 Yellow Book. Other standards are used in conjunction
with it to define directory and file structures, including ISO
9660, HFS (Hierarchal File System, for Macintosh
computers), and Hybrid HFS-ISO. Format of the CD-ROM is
the same as for audio CDs: a standard CD is 120 mm (4.75 inches) in diameter and 1.2
mm (0.05 inches) thick and is composed of a polycarbonate plastic substrate (underlayer -
this is the main body of the disc), one or more thin reflective metal (usually aluminum)
layers, and a lacquer coating
8. WHAT IS MODEM
Taken From : https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-modem-817861
A modem is a hardware device that allows a computer to send and
receive data over a telephone line or a cable or satellite
connection. In the case of transmission over an analog telephone
line, which was once the most popular way to access the internet,
the modem converts data between analog and digital formats in
real time for two-way network communication. In the case of the
high-speed digital modems popular today, the signal is much
simpler and doesn't require the analog-to-digital conversion.

9. WHAT IS KEYBOARD
Taken From : https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-keyboard-2618153

The keyboard is the piece of computer hardware used to input

text, characters, and other commands into a computer or
similar device.

Even though the keyboard is an external peripheral device in a

desktop system (it sits outside the main computer housing), or
is "virtual" in a tablet PC, it is an essential part of the complete computer system.

10. WHAT IS MOUSE

Taken From : https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-mouse-2618156

The mouse, sometimes called a pointer, is a hand-operated input

device used to manipulate objects on a computer screen.

Whether the mouse uses a laser or ball, or is wired or wireless, a

movement detected from the mouse sends instructions to the
computer to move the cursor on the screen in order to interact with
files, windows, and other software elements.

11. WHAT IS MONITOR

Taken From : https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-monitor-2618155

The monitor is the piece of computer hardware that displays

the video and graphics information generated by the
computer through the video card.

Monitors are very similar to televisions but usually display

information at a much higher resolution. Also unlike
televisions, monitors are not usually mounted on a wall but
instead sit atop a desk.
12. WHAT IS PRINTER
Taken From : http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/printer
A printer is a device that accepts text and graphic output
from a computer and transfers the information to paper,
usually to standard size sheets of paper. Printers vary in
size, speed, sophistication, and cost. In general, more
expensive printers are used for higher-resolution color
printing.

13. WHAT IS SPEAKER

Taken From : https://www.engineersgarage.com/definitions/what-is-speaker
A loudspeaker (or "speaker") is a transducer that converts
electrical energy into acoustical energy. When an electric
signal is applied to the input pin of speaker, it generates
sound waves. The speaker diaphragm moves in
accordance with the variations of applied electrical signal
and causes sound waves to propagate through a medium
such as air. In a speaker, the driver produces sound waves
by vibrating a flexible cone or diaphragm made out of
paper, plastic or metal which is attached to wide end of
suspension. The suspension is attached to a metal frame called Basket and is
made up of some flexible material allowing the cone to move. The narrow end of
the cone is connected to voice coil, which is then connected to Spider (a ring of
flexible material) allowing coil to move back and forth and producing sound
waves.

14. WHAT IS CPU

Taken From : https://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/CPU.html
CPU (pronounced as separate letters) is the abbreviation for
central processing unit. Sometimes referred to simply as the
central processor, but more commonly called processor, the CPU
is the brains of the computer where most calculations take place.
In terms of computing power, the CPU is the most important
element of a computer system.

15. WHAT IS EXTRA FAN

Taken From : http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-exhaust-fan.htm#didyouknowout

An exhaust fan is a fan which is used to control the interior

environment by venting out unwanted odors, particulates, smoke,
moisture, and other contaminants which may be present in the air.
Exhaust fans can also be integrated into a heating and cooling
system. Common locations for exhaust fans include bathrooms
and kitchens, and these fans are usually very easy to install, so
they can be situated in many other locations as well. For
installation, people do need a few tools, and they must be
comfortable working with electricity to wire the fan in place.
