Amotherboard is the central printed circuit board(PCB) in many modern computers and holds many of thecrucial components of the system, while providingconnectors for other peripherals.
The motherboard is sometimes alternatively known as themain board, system board, or, on Apple computers, thelogic board.It is also sometimes casually shortened tomobo.

The central processing unit(CPU) performs most of thecalculations which enable a computer to function, and issometimes referred to as the "brain" of the computer. It is
usually cooled by a heat sink and fan.

The difference between DDR2 and DDR3
Official JEDEC Specifications
DDR 2 DDR3
Transfer Speed 400 800 Mbps 800 1600 Mbps
Voltage 1.8V +/- 0.1V 1.5V +/- 0.075V
Internal Banks 4 8
Prefetch 4bits 8 bits
Termination Limited All DQ signals
Topology Conventional T Fly-by
CAS Latency 3 5 6 10
Thermal
Sensor No Yes (optional)
Other than the difference in key notch position, DDR3 RAM is also due to run at a
higher frequency than DDR2 RAM. The specification provided by JEDEC provides
more insight to its performance.

A hard disk drive(often shortened as hard disk,
hard drive,or HDD) is a non-volatile storage device
that stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating
rigid platters with magnetic surfaces.

The keyboard is very simple to operate, and touch-typingaside, most people can operate a keyboard well enough.The keyboard is usually the primary input device for a PC,
which is why people can become emotional when it breaks.

In computing, a mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting two -
dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface. Physically, a mouse
consists of an object held under one of the user's hands, with one or more
buttons. (Although traditionally a button is typically round or square, modern
mice have spring-loaded regions of their top surface that operate switches
when pressed down lightly.) It sometimes features other elements, such as
"wheels", which allow the user to perform various system-dependent
operations, or extra buttons or features that can add more control or
dimensional input. The mouse's motion typically translates into the motion of
a cursor on a display, which allows for fine control of a graphical user
interface.

Printer - A printer is a peripheral which produces a hardcopy (permanent human-readable text and/or graphics) ofdocuments stored in electronic form, usually on physical
print media such as paper or transparencies. Many printersare primarily used as local peripherals, and are attached bya printer cable or, in most newer printers, a USB cable to acomputer which serves as a document source. Someprinters, commonly known as network printers, have built-in network interfaces (typically wireless or Ethernet), andcan serve as a hardcopy device for any user on the network.Individual printers are often designed to support both localand network connected users at the same time.

Computer software, or just software is a general termprimarily used for digitally stored data such as computerprograms and other kinds of information read and
written by computers. Today, this includes data that hasnot traditionally been associated with computers, suchas film, tapes and records. The term was coined in orderto contrast to the old term hardware (meaning physical
device) in contrast to hardware, software is intangible,meaning it "cannot be touched".
