    Byte, The amount of storage required to hold one character.

    A set of 8 bits that means something to the computer, like a letter, number, or punctuation

    mark.

    For example, the byte 01001000 means a capital "H". MegabyteEquals 1,048,576 bytes, or 1024

    The text of a six hundred page paperback book would require about one megabyte of ASCII

    storage. bit, A single number, either a 1 or 0, used for counting in the binary

    number system.

    A single bit cant tell you much, so bits are usually gathered into groups of 8 to make a byte. For

    instance, 8 bits can tell your computer you mean a certain letter, number, or symbol like M, 9, o

    Circuit board, The interconnection of a number of devices in one or more

    closed paths to

    perform a desired electrical or electronic function. A layer of a printed board containing

    conductors, including ground and voltage planes.

    Vacuum Tube, Tubes constructed of a glass or metal container that is vacuum

    sealed.

    The basic elements inside the tube are: the anode (or plate), the cathode, and the heater.

    Used in 1st generation computers.

    Transistors, At their most basic level, transistors may seem simple. But their

    development

    actually required many years of painstaking research. Before transistors, computers relied on

    slow, inefficient vacuum

    tubes and mechanical switches to work.

    Used in 2nd generation computers. Millions of transistors are in a microprocessor.

    Microprocessor, The microprocessor is the heart of any normal computer,

    whether it is a desktop

  • 8/7/2019 COMPUTER REVIEW

    22/34

    machine, a server or a laptop. The microprocessor you are using might be a Pentium, a K6, a

    PowerPC, a Sparc or any of

    the many other brands and types of microprocessors, but they all do approximately the same

    thing in approximately the

    same way. A microprocessor -- also known as a CPU or central processing unit -- is a complete

    computation engine that is fabricated on a single chip. ROM, stands for read-

    only memory. A ROM chip is programmed

    with a permanent collection of pre-set bytes. The address bus tells the ROM chip which byte to

    get and place on the data bus.

    RAM, stands for random-access memory.

    RAM contains bytes of information, and the microprocessor can read or write to those bytes

    depending on whether the

    RD or WR line is signalled. One problem with today's RAM chips is that they forget

    everything once the power goes off.

    That is why the computer needs ROM. Operating System, The

    operating system defines our

    computing experience. It's the first software we see when we turn on the computer, and the last

    software we see when

    the computer is turned off. It's the software that enables all the programs we use. The operating

    system organizes and controls the hardware on our desks and in our hands.
