You many already know that there are many important parts inside a computer but what

exactly, do they do let’s take a look inside and learn about the various components that
make a computer work.

Whether it’s a desktop computer or a laptop, every computer has a large circuit board called
a motherboard. This contains some of the most important parts of the computer, such as
the cpu also know as the central processing unit or processor. The cpu can be considered
the brain of the computer, because it processes infomation and carries out commands,
since it tends to get hot it’s covered by a piece of metal, called a heat sink which draws heat
away from the processor. The motherboard also contains the computer’s ram or random
access memory, this is the short term memory that the computer uses whenever it’s
performing calculations. However, you cannot store your files there, because the ram is
cleared when you shut off ther compute.
