What is inside a pc system?

1-What are the main parts of the CPU?


2-Whats does ALU stand for? whats does it do?
3-What is the function of the system clock?
4-How much is one gigahertz?
5-What type of memory is temporary?
6-What type of memory is permanent and includes instructions needed by the CPU?
7-How can RAM be increased?
8-What term is uted to referto the main printed circuit board?
9-What is a bus?
10 -What is the benefit of having expansion slots?

1-The main parts of the CPU are the Control Unit and the Arithmetic Logic Unit. They are built in a
single chip and coordinate activities within the computer system. The chip is a small piece of silicon
with a complex electrical circuit known as an integrated circuit.

2-ALU significa "Unidad Aritmético-Lógica," y su función es realizar cálculos matemáticos y


operaciones lógicas.

3-The function of the system clock is to synchronize and coordinate the timing of all operations
within the computer system.

4-One gigahertz equals Four thousand million hertz, or cycles per second.

5-The type of memory is RAM (Random Access Memory).

6-The type of memory that is permanent and includes instructions needed by the CPU is ROM
(Read-Only Memory).

7-RAM capacity is expanded by adding extra chips usually contained in small circuit boards called
dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs).

8-The term used to refer to the main printed circuit board is "motherboard."

9-A bus is an electrical channel that allows devices inside the computer to communicate with each
other.

10-The benefit of having expansion slots is that they are used to install expansion cards, adding
features like sound, memory, and network capabilities.

The CPU, consisting of the Control Unit and Arithmetic Logic Unit, is housed in a single chip,
known as an integrated circuit, which orchestrates activities within the computer system. ALU, or
"Arithmetic Logic Unit," performs mathematical and logical operations. The system clock's role is
to synchronize and coordinate operations. One gigahertz represents four billion hertz, indicating the
CPU's speed. RAM, or "Random Access Memory," serves as a type of memory. ROM, or "Read-
Only Memory," is permanent and holds CPU instructions.

To expand RAM capacity, extra chips are added via DIMMs, small circuit boards. The
"motherboard" is the term for the primary printed circuit board. Buses act as electrical channels
enabling device communication. Lastly, expansion slots are valuable as they allow the installation
of expansion cards, enhancing a computer's features, such as sound, memory, and network
capabilities.

3-La CPU, compuesta por la Unidad de Control y la Unidad Aritmético-Lógica, se encuentra en un


solo chip conocido como circuito integrado, que coordina las actividades dentro del sistema
informático. La ALU, o "Unidad Aritmético-Lógica", realiza operaciones matemáticas y lógicas. El
reloj del sistema se encarga de sincronizar y coordinar las operaciones. Un gigahertz representa
cuatro mil millones de hercios, indicando la velocidad de la CPU. RAM, o "Memoria de Acceso
Aleatorio", actúa como un tipo de memoria. ROM, o "Memoria de Solo Lectura", es permanente y
contiene instrucciones para la CPU.

Para expandir la capacidad de RAM, se agregan chips adicionales a través de DIMMs, pequeñas
placas de circuito. "Placa madre" es el término para la placa de circuito impreso principal. Los
buses actúan como canales eléctricos que permiten la comunicación entre dispositivos. Por último,
las ranuras de expansión son valiosas ya que permiten la instalación de tarjetas de expansión,
mejorando las características de una computadora, como el sonido, la memoria y las capacidades de
red.
