COMPUTER ASSEMBLY

Computers may be broadly classified as analog or digital. Analog computers  make use of the analog between the value assumed by some physical quality, such as shaft rotation distance or electric voltage, and a variable in the problem  of interest. Digital computers in principle manipulates numbers directly. In a sense all computers have an analog quantity since a physical representation  must  be used for the abstraction that is a number.

A modern computer system is one of the most complex and wonderful  achievement of mankind. This is due to its  incredible speed, very high reliability and almost limitless versatility. For example, a very large commercially available computer can (in 1980) executes about five to ten million instructions  per  second (MIPS). Further more, this raw processing potential can be programmed so that a single machine performs such diverse  design of high – speed aircraft, preparation of the payroll for thousand of employees, or keeping track of inventory for a whole chain  of retail stores.
Computer Assembly
A PC computer is a modular type of computer, it can be assembled using hardware components made by different manufacturers, so as to have a custom built computer according to one’s specific needs.
The following components are available when building a computer:

•    The casing: metal casing which houses the internal components of the computer. The casing usually comes with it’s own power supply and a set of screws, connectors and cables.
•    The motherboard: a large printed circuit board used to connect the processor, RAM, hard drives and CD/DVD drives, and comes with its own set of riser connectors.
•    The processor: the computer’s main integrated circuit, the true brain of the computer, performing all the main calculations.
•    RAM modules.
•    Storage devices such as hard drives, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives and burners, and the floppy disk drive.
•    Expansion cards are used to upgrade computer functionality and performance.

The motherboard is the main card, in the form of a large printed circuit board with connectors for the processor, RAM modules and expansion cards.
