 HARDWARE
 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
 A CPU is the main component of a digital
computer that interprets instructions and
process data in computer programs.
 MOTHER BOARD
 It is the central or primary circuit board
making up a complex electronic system
such as a computer.
 A motherboard is also known as a main
board, logic board or system board.
 RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
 A RAM allows the stored data to be
accessed in any order.
 RAM is considered as the main memory of
the computer where the working area is
used for displaying and manipulating data.
 HARD DISK
 In any computer system the hard disk is
considered as the secondary memory device
that is used for the primary data storage.
 It is a non-volatile data storage system that
stores data on a magnetic surface layered
unto hard disk platters.
 SOFTWARE
 SYSTEM SOFTWARE
 System software is computer software designed
to operate the computer hardware and to
provide and maintain a platform for running
application software.
 System software helps use the operating system
and computer system.
 APPLICATION SOFTWARE
 Software which has its orientation more
towards performing user tasks.
 Application software is contrasted with system
software and  middleware which manage and
integrate a computer's capabilities, but typically
do not directly apply them in the performance
of tasks that benefit the user.
 UTILITY SOFTWARE
 Utility software is a kind of  system software
designed to help analyze, configure, optimize
and maintain the computer.
 Most utilities are highly specialized and
designed to perform only a single task or a
small range of tasks.
