    The key takeaways are the different components that make up a basic computer system including the hard disk, RAM, motherboard, CD-ROM, keyboard, mouse, processor, power supply and VGA card.

    The main components of computer hardware discussed are the hard disk, RAM, motherboard, CD-ROM, keyboard, mouse, processor, power supply and VGA card.

    The different types of computer memory discussed are RAM, which can be DRAM or SRAM.

    COMPUTER HARDWARE

    COMPONENTS
    HARD DISK
    •  A hard disk is part of a unit, often called a "disk drive," "hard drive," or “hard
    drive” that stores.
    • Hard disk provides relatively quick access to large amounts of data on an
    electromagnetically charged surface or set of surfaces
    • Today's computers typically come with a hard disk that contains several
    billion bytes
    RAM
    • RAM – Random Access Memory
    • A type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly
    • RAM is the most common type of memory found in computers and other 
    devices
    • There are two different types of RAM: DRAM
    • The two types differ in the technology they use to hold data
    MOTHER BOARD
    • A motherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB) in many modern 
    computers and holds many of the crucial components of the system
    • The motherboard contains the CPU, BIOS, memory, mass storage
     interfaces, serial andparallel ports, expansion slots
    CD - ROM
    • CD-ROM (Compact Disc, read-only-memory)
    • CD-ROM 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.
    KEY BOARD
    • A keyboard is typewriter keyboard, which uses an arrangement of buttons
    or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches
    • In normal usage, the keyboard is used to type text and numbers into a word
    processor, text editor or other program.
    • A keyboard is also used to give commands to the operating system of a
    computer
    MOUSE
    • A device that controls the movement of the cursor or pointer on a
    display screen.
    • A mouse is a small object you can roll along a hard, flat surface. Its name is
    derived from its shape.
    • As you move the mouse, the pointer on the display screen moves in the
    same direction.
    • Some newer mice also include a scroll wheel for scrolling through long
    documents.
    PROCESSOR
    • A processor is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic
    instructions that drive a computer.
    • The term processor has generally replaced the term central processing unit
    (CPU). The processor in a personal computer or embedded in small devices
    is often called a microprocessor.
    POWER SUPPLY
    • Also called a power supply unit or PSU, the component that supplies power
    to a computer.
    • The power supply then pulls the required amount of electricity and converts
    the AC current to DC current.
    • It also regulates the voltage to eliminate spikes and surges common in most
    electrical systems.
    VGA CARD
    • VGA - Visual Graphics Array Adapter
    • a graphics display system for PCs developed by IBM.
    • GA systems provide a resolution of 720 by 400 pixels. In graphics mode, the
    resolution is either 640 by 480 (with 16 colors) or 320 by 200 (with 256
    colors).
