MEMORY
THE RAM (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY) 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. FOR PERFORMANCE
REQUIREMENTS OF MEMORY,LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING:
SPEED ,TYPICALLY EXPRESSED IN MEGAHERTZ (mhz)
TIMING, GENERALLY KNOWN AS CAS (COLUMN ACCESS STROBE)
AND VOLTAGE. FOR MOST DDR4 MODULES THE MEMORY SPEED RANGES FROM 2133MHz TO 3200MHz

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 (I/O), AND OTHER SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS
PASSED FROM AN OPERATING SYSTEM.

 THE SPEED PROCESSOR CHIP OF A COMPUTER IS KNOWN

AS “CLOCK SPEED” IN GIGAHERTZ (GHz) UNITS,WITH
THE LATEST MODERN PROCESSORS at 4.7GHz CURRENTLY .

FEATURES TO CONSIDER IN SELECTING A
PROCESSOR
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 13, Core i5, and Core 1, 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 compatibility-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

21
its socket.
4. Integrated Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)-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 Side 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 alsc expressed as a
ratio to CPU speed. It can range from 66 MHz to over 800

22
MHz. For example, a processor running at 2.4 GHz with an

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.

24
* 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.

25
The graphics card’s hardware
specifications that affects the speed of the
card and the units in which it is measured:

➤GPU clock speed (MHz) Size of the

memory bus (bits)

➤ Amount of available memory (MB)

Memory clock rate (MHz)

➤ Memory bandwidth (GB/s) RAMDAC
