This document provides information about correctly specifying computer components from relevant sources. It discusses several key components, including memory (RAM), processors, video cards, and data storage. For memory, it notes the common measurement units of megabytes (MB) and gigabytes (GB) and how the required amount depends on the software. Processors are discussed in terms of cores, cache, compatibility, integrated graphics, frequency, and front-side bus. Video cards are described by factors like GPU clock speed, memory bandwidth, and frame rate. Data storage capacity is measured in bits and bytes, with examples like a 650MB compact disc and 1TB hard drive.

“Memory”
■ The RAM is measured in both Megabytes
(MB) and Gigabytes (GB). The amount of
RAM a computer requires depends on the
software it needs to run efficiently.
■ A computer running Windows XP will
work with 1 GB of RAM, whereas for
computers running Windows 7, a
minimum of 2 GB will do.
“Processor”
■ The Central Processing Unit (CPU) or processor is an
integrated electronic circuit which carries out the
calculations running a computer.
■ A processor executes arithmetic, mathematics,
input/output , and other simple instructions passed
from an operating system. The speed of the
processor chip of a computer is known as “clock
speed” in gigahertz (GHz) units. The following seen
the features to consider in selecting processor:
There are 6 Features in considering
and selecting processor

1.Cores
2.Cache
3.Socket Compitability
4. Integrated Graphics
Processing Units (GPU)
5.Frequency
6.Front Size Bus (FSB)
1. “Cores”
■ Since the functionality of multi-core
processors have become more popular, and
software has developed to use multi-core
technology.
■ There are some options to choose, from dual-
core to 8-core processors. The “Core” family
of processors includes Core 2, Core i3, Core i5,
and Core i7, the last of which is the most
powerful.
2. Cache
■ Is a form of very fast memory channels that
is inserted into the processor chip and used
to store instructions to slow down as little
as possible between tasks.
■ A cache measures in Megabytes (MB), with
low- end Celeron processors having as little
as 0.25 MB of cache (256 KB), and high-end
Itaniums with up to 24 MB.
3.”Socket Compitability”
■ Enables the interface between the
motherboard and its CPU.
■ After you have already purchased a
motherboard, confirm the processor
mounted if it is compatible with its
socket.
4. “Integrated Graphics
Processing Units (GPU)”
■ Is designed to perform graphics-related
calculations.
■ If the processor does not have an
integrated GPU, the computer can still
display the graphics if there is a separate
graphics card or if the motherboard
offers an on-board video.
5. “Frequency”
■ The CPU frequency is measured in hertz
(Hz). It is the speed the CPU that runs
while working.
■ If the CPU architecture operates at a
lower frequency, it will potentially work
better than a processor running at a
higher frequency.
6. Front Size Bus (FSB)
■ Is a communication interface that acts as
the major link between the CPU and
system memory with the other parts of
the chipset and motherboard.
■ FSB speed is measured in hertz (Hz) and is
also expressed as a ratio to CPU speed. It
can range from 66 MHz to over 800 MHz.
“Video Card”
■ Also known as graphics card, display
adapter, video adapter, video board, or
video controller, a video card is an
expansion card that connects to a
computer motherboard.
■ It is a piece of hardware inside the
computer that processes images and
videos.
■ The more efficient the GPU (Graphic
Processing Unit), the faster information
will be shown and better overall visual
experience will be displayed.
■ An overall indicator of the card’s
efficiency is its frame rate, expressed in
frames per second (FPS). It shows how
many full images a card can display per
second
■ The human eye can process about 25
frames per second, but fast-acting games
require a frame rate of at least 60 FPS to
produce smooth animation and scrolling.
The elements of frame rate are as
follows:

■ The triangles or verticals per second: 3-D


pictures are composed of triangles or
polygons.
■ This measures how fast the GPU can
measure the complete polygon or the
vertexes. In general, it describes how
quickly a wireframe image is
constructed by the card
■ .Pixel fill rate: This measures the pixels
that the GPU can process in a second,
which converts to how quickly the
image could be scanned.
The graphics card’s hardware directly affects
its speed. Below are the hardware
specifications that affects the speed of the
card and the units in which it is measured:
GPU clock speed
Size of the memory bus (bits)
Amount of available memory (MB)
Memory clock rate (MHz)
Memory bandwidth (GB/
■ RAMDAC speed (MHz
“Data Storage”
•Data storage capacity is measured in
bits (b) and bytes (B).
“Basic Unit of Data Storage”
■ An example of a small data storage
device is a standard 4.7-inch compact disk
with a capacity of 80 minutes of audio or
650 megabytes (MB) to 700 MB of data.
■ While an example of big data storage
device is a hard drive that can hold 1
terabyte (TB) of data. To easily picture
out how much data is stored, consider
the illustration below:
