System unit it is where all your computer peripherals are attached such as mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers and

etc.
It is composed of 6 basic components of system unit, namely; motherboard, processor, ram, hard drive, video card and
power supply. It is often called as CPU but it is not, the CPU (central processing unit) is the processor itself.
Motherboard is the core of the system, it really is the PC. Everything else is connected to it, and it controls everything in
the system. Common form factors are ATX and MicroAtx. MicroAtx is now the most popular among PC users because of its
smaller size.
Processor it is often thought of as the engine of the computer. It is also called the CPU. Microprocessor is a solid-state
central processing unit much like a computer on a chip. An integrated circuit that accepts coded instructions for execution.
For me, processor is the brain of the system. There are two types of processor; with pins and the pin-less .
Memory It is the system memory often called as RAM (random access memory). This is the primary memory, which holds
all the programs and data the processor is using at a given time. All memory accessible at any instant (randomly) by a
microprocessor. The latest type of RAM is the DDR3.
Hard drive is the primary archival storage memory for the system. It is where we saved our files and data including our
operating system, antivirus and other applications. There are two types of Hard drive, we have PATA (Parallel Attachment
Packet Interface) then SATA (Serial Attachment Packet Interface). Desktop uses the 3.5 inches and the laptop uses the
2.5 inches of hard disk. SATA is the latest and most commonly used.
Video Card it controls the information you see on the monitor. This is also called the video card or graphics adapter. On
many recent low-cost desktop systems and virtually all portable systems, video might be built into motherboard or included
as part of the motherboards chipset. On a desktop computer, you can add a high-speed AGP or PCI-Express video card to
some systems with integrated video. The latest video card supports VGA (video graphics array), DVI (digital visual interface)
and HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface). PCI express is the latest technology of video cards.
Power supply is the one that feeds electrical power (voltages and currents) to every single part in the PC. The latest
power supply support both SATA and PATA connectors.
