Date; 02/11/2000 Topic; Structure of Every PC Section; PC Author; Michael Hatton Every PC has the same basic Components, the ones you'll find in every CP are; CPU, Motherboard, RAM, storage device (e.g. hard drive), and some sort of graphics chip (e.g. graphics card) They are all connected together via the motherboard. And the motherboard is connected to the power supply. To explain this better a diagram would help. The Diagram...
So that's the parts, now what are the parts and what do they do? The part which you must always have is the Motherboard, lets start with this. Motherboards... This is a picture of my MB, the
parts are shown clearly... To see an enlargement click on picture. This is my motherboard its pretty modern so it has all the features, and has enough upgrade potential. The white slots are PCI connections; for Graphics cards, Modems, Sound cards, and is used for almost all the upgrades. The brown slot is AGP slot, only for graphics cards, the speed varies from 2x to 4x, 8x is under development. The black slots of the right, are for RAM, the ones I have are DIMM, speeds range from 66MHz to 133MHz, 100Mhz as well .
