Benefits of Computers
The three main benefits of using computers are :Speed Accuracy Capacity to take large amount of work.

Types of computersComputers are categorized on the basis of size, sot and performance.Generally, the larger the system, the greater is its processing speed, storage capacity, cost and ability to handle large number of devices. The various types of computers are: Microcomputer Personal computers/laptopsMinicomputersMainframesSuper computers

Microcomputers
Systems on the lower end of the size of the size scale are microcomputers. They may be tiny special purpose devices dedicated to carrying out a single task such as one inside a camera.
![Page 7: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Personal Computers
The most popular form of computer in use today is the Personal Computer generally known as the PC. The PC can be used for various application. It can be defined as a single user oriented and general purpose microcomputer.
![Page 8: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lap Top
Lately, the Palmtops and Laptops have become very popular with their power and portability.It can perform a diverse range of functions, from keeping track of household accounts to keeping records of the stores of a large manufacturing company.

Mini Computers
Mini computers are small, general-purpose computers. They can vary in size from a small desktop model to the size of a small filing cabinet. A typical mini system is more expensive than a PC and surpasses of PC in storage capacity and speed.
![Page 10: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
contd………While most PCs are oriented towards single users,minisystems are designed to handle the needs of multiple users, i.e., more than one person can work on a mini at the same time.

Mainframes
A mainframe is another form of a computer system that is generally morepowerful than a typical mini. Mainframes themselves may vary widely in costand capability. They are used in large organizations for large scale jobs.However, there is an overlap between the expensive minis and smallmainframe models in terms of cost and capability.

Super computers
At the end of the size and capability scale, are the super computers. These systems are the largest, fastest and most expensive computers in the world.These computers are owned by large organizations. They are used for complex scientific applications.

Software Software is a computer program that is made up of certain instructions or codes that tell your hardware, or computer, what to do.
Software can be used to play games, write school papers, or even sort e-mail

processorProcessor is the brain of the computer. It deals Data processing & execution of data's is perform in it.It does all the thinking for the computer and process all the information to be turned into files on your computer.
![Page 19: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BIOS(Basic input output system)
The Basic Input/output System controls the computer’s basic operations and is responsible for starting up the computer and hardware.Its most important role is to load the operating system.
![Page 20: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Some of the other common tasks that the BIOS performs include:Check the CMOS Setup for custom settingsLoad the interrupt handlers and device driversInitialize registers and power managementPerform the power-on self-test (POST)Display system settingsDetermine which devices are bootable
![Page 21: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CMOS BatteryThe system BIOS and the information required to configure it is stored on a Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) chip. CMOS is a battery-powered storage chip located on the system board. The CMOS chip has rewritable memory since the configuration data can be changed or updated as the components or devices in the computer are changed.
![Page 22: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Real time clock chip:The RTC is essentially a quartz watch that runs all the time, whether or not the computer has power. The battery powers this clock.
RTC gets the correct time and date when system is booted.

Chipset:The chipset is the "glue" that connects the microprocessor to the rest of the computer.
It consists of two basic parts -- the Northbridge and the Southbridge.

Input/ output devicesA keyboard is used mainly for typing text into your computer. Like the keyboard on a typewriter, it has keys for letters and numbers, but it also has special keys.
![Page 25: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mouse A mouse is a small device used to point to and select items on your computer screen. Allows the entry of data and executes programs.

MONITERSA monitor displays information in visual form, using text and graphics. The portion of the monitor that displays the information is called the screen. Like a television screen, a computer screen can show still or moving pictures.There are two basic types of monitors: CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors and the newer LCD (liquid crystal display) monitors.

web cameraA webcam is a video camera that feeds its images in real time to a computer or computer network.The common use as a video camera for the World Wide Web gave the webcam its nameWebcams are known for their low manufacturing cost and flexibility, making them the lowest cost form of videotelephony.

speakersComputer speakers, or multimedia speakers, are speakers external to a computer, that disable the lower fidelity built-in speaker. The computer speakers typically packaged with computer systems are small, plastic, and have mediocre sound quality.Laptops has integrated sound devices. It deals with low sound quality.

STORAGESPrimary storages consists of two types.They are ROM(Read only memory)RAM(Random access memory)
![Page 31: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ROMComputers almost always contain a small amount of read-only memory that holds instructions for starting up the computer. Unlike RAM, ROM cannot be written to.Types of ROMPROM(programmable read-only memory):EPROM (erasable programmable read-only memory)EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory):

CD and DVD driveNearly all computers today come equipped with a CD or DVD drive, usually located on the front of the system unit. CD drives use lasers to read (retrieve) data from a CD; many CD drives can also write (record) data onto CDs.
![Page 36: Computer hardware3](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55904e471a28ab4a0e8b46ff/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
HARDDISKstorage device that holds the operating system and other programs and data files.
