Introduction
In this work we will see the most fundamental parts of the
computer such as hardware and software and their functions.
Hardware
GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT:
It is a coprocessor located in the CPU
responsible for graphics only, reducing the
load of the central microprocessor so that the
efficiency and performance of the computer
equipment is much greater, increasing the
processing speed.
MOTHERBOARD:
It is a printed circuit board that serves as a
fundamental connection between the
microprocessor, RAM modules, graphics
cards, expansion cards, input and output
peripherals, among others.
 Hardware
GRAPHICS CARD :
RAM (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY):
Is an expansion card of the motherboard of

and transforming it into understandable and
representable information on the output
device (for example: television or
projector).
Hardware
HARD DISK DRIVE:

Is a data storage device that uses a magnetic recording system to store and retrieve digital files. It
consists of one or more plates or rigid disks, coated with magnetic material and joined by the
same axis that rotates at high speed inside a sealed metal box.

On each plate, and on each of its faces, a read / write head is placed that floats on a thin sheet of
air generated by the rotation of the discs. It allows random access to data, which means that data
blocks can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. Hard drives are a type of
nonvolatile memory, which retain stored data even when turned off.
Hardware
THE MICROPROCESSOR:

Is the most complex central integrated circuit of a computer system; By way of illustration, the
"brain" of a computer is often called by analogy.

He is responsible for executing the programs, from the operating system to the user applications;
It only executes instructions programmed in low level language, performing simple arithmetic
and logical operations, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, binary logics and
memory accesses.
Software

essential document.
In Bios we can modify or change some
option.
Software
UBUNTU: PRINT DRIVER:

Is an operating system the open source
similarity than Windows, Ubuntu is
more complicated. Why? Ubuntu is for
the average user. But it is faster and
safer.
It is a software that converts the data to
be printed to the specific format of a
printer.
Software
VIDEO DRIVER: USB DRIVER:

It is a software that allows the operating system It is a software that allows the correct
and applications to support, communicate and operation of peripheral devices
take advantage of the potential of the installed connected to the USB ports of the
graphics hardware computer-
Conclusion
In this class we learned many things about English, both its
pronunciations and its times, either as the simple past among
others, helping us to know more about them and to be able to
devote ourselves more in this language.
