HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, NETWORKS AND USERS - CORRECT
ANSWER-COMPUTER SYSTEM
Physical components of a computer system which include the
system unit and its components and peripheral devices;
TANGIBLE ASPECTS OF THE COMPUTER - CORRECT ANSWER-
HARDWARE
A collection of computers and resources CONNECTED by
various media so that they can COMMUNICATE WITH EACH
OTHER. - CORRECT ANSWER-NETWORK
Systems Software and Applications Software - CORRECT
ANSWER-SOFTWARE CATEGORIES
RULES provided by WHICH NETWORKS communicate with each
other - CORRECT ANSWER-IP PROTOCOL
,STORES the programs BEING EXECUTED and the data they are
using. - CORRECT ANSWER-COMPUTER MEMORY
Controls THE SPEED at which instructions are processed. -
CORRECT ANSWER-SYSTEM CLOCK
Stands for Random Access Memory. It temporarily stores data
before it is processed and sent to your screen or printer. IT IS
VOLATILE (means data or information stored disappears
when the computer is turned off or loses power). - CORRECT
ANSWER-RAM
Transistor components, magnetic core memory, smaller size,
easier to program, disk drives and drums, called mainframe
computers - CORRECT ANSWER-2nd Generation of Computers
Silicon chips (known as ICs - integrated circuits), reduced cost,
called mini computers, networks introduced via dumb terminals
- CORRECT ANSWER-3rd Generation of Computers
Control Unit (CU) - retrieves the instructions and the raw data
that is input and coordinates or controls the sending of those
instructions and data to the ALU Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) -
does the actual processing of the data; completing
mathematical calculations and logical operations to process the
, data and converting the input of the keyboard text entry to
output displayed on the screen - CORRECT ANSWER-Parts of
the CPU
Dynamic RAM (DRAM) - typically called main memory Static
RAM (SRAM) - cache memory and registers - CORRECT
ANSWER-Types of RAM
BIOS stands for: Basic Input Output System; ROM stands for
Read Only Memory. Typically stored in ROM chip on the
motherboard. Is software NOT hardware, ("basic" operating
system that runs when the computer is first turned on). Runs
tests of memory and the CPU and initializes hardware
components so that the actual Operating System can be loaded
from the hard disk. Can't choose the amount or contents. -
CORRECT ANSWER-BIOS ROM
Vacuum tubes, relay switches, the need to program in machine
language - CORRECT ANSWER-1st Generation of Computers
Single chip processor, called microcomputer, first personal
computer, rudimentary computer graphics, home use -
CORRECT ANSWER-4th Generation of Computers 1971 - 1980.
