A computer is a device that has different components. Some of these components everyone can see and others can’t be seen. All these components are incorporated on a main board hidden behind a unit. This unit has the role of protecting these components by people who don’t know what every component does and they get curios. Some people want to see what is inside that unit and sometimes they break the seal.

This way they can lose the warranty for the computer and in case that the computer breaks they have to pay the damages themselves. These are the components of a computer that are called hardware. The computer also has software components but these can’t be seen or touched.



The most important thing about a computer is that it can store data. There are some storage devices that can make our life easier sometimes. It happens that sometimes we don’t have enough space on our hard drive to store all the data we need and that is why we need other storage devices to help us. We may have pictures, music or different files that we know that are important for us and we want to keep them. Sometimes these files can be helpful on a later time and that is why we should create a backup copy. You never know when a computer might break and you can’t recover all the data you had on your computer. That is why it is a good idea to keep some of your files on different storage devices. This doesn’t mean that these storage devices won’t break too at some point but if you keep them in a safe place they can be maintained for a long while. The storage devices that are most known by most people are: floppy disk, CD, DVD, memory stick, hard drive. Well, people just know a thing or two about these things but they don’t really know exactly how they work.



Floppy disks were very popular at some point but today computers don’t even incorporate them anymore. They have become useless because they capacity to store data is too little and nowadays appeared different storage devices more advanced and much easier to use. Everyone heard about memory sticks. They are very easy to use. You just plug them into your USB from the computer and you can copy on them everything you need to transport somewhere else. They aren’t very expensive and almost anyone can afford one. If you have some really important data that you want to keep for a further use you should use a CD or a DVD. They are long lasting and you can count on them to keep your data intact.

The advantages and disadvantages of computer storage devices can be multiple. You can store all the data you need. You can keep them safe if you ever need to use them o a later time. Of course there are times that these storage devices can break or alter and we can lose all the important data we had. So, the advantages and disadvantages of computer storage devices can be categorized even by the luck you have when you buy a computer storage device.

As we all know computers aren’t compose only from the components we see on the outside. There are different components that are part of the computer inside the PC unit. These are: the main board, which is the main component of the PC and has different components such as: the processor, the memory and the cards (video, audio and modem). Of course, on a computer we find different peripherals such as: the monitor, the mouse, the keyboard and the optional devices (the printer, modems, multimedia, scanner, digital camera, loudspeakers, microphone, sound card and others).

A computer must be able to store the results of calculations and operations made. Practically, a computer has to be able to store a big amount of information and for it needs to have different types of memories. These computers memories are: RAM (Random Access Memory) and the space from the HDD. The RAM is used by computer as a work area while it calculates something. Here are contained the lists with commands on which it operates on some point, the data needed for an operation and partial results from an operation. RAM allows random access which means that we have access to anything and it doesn’t need to search the entire disk for something it needs. Also, we have the ROM which is Read Only Memory. It means that this type of memory can only be read and we can’t make other operations on it. There are differences between ROM and RAM memory.



First of all, it doesn’t change after the computer is put together; it can only be read and never written. Second of all, it can’t be changed even when the computer is turned off. RAM memory is volatile; it means that its content is deleted when the computer is turned off. The hard disk is also a component of the computer. The size of it matters especially the size that can store data. Hard disk store data magnetically as we record information on video cassettes or vinyl. Hard disks aren’t volatile.

Once we store data on it can’t be changed only if we decide to delete or change its content. Hard disks are incorporated in the computer. Generally they remain inside the computer and they are not transferred to another computer. There are a series of mobile resources; mobile storage devices that can be transferred from one computer to another and that can be used for security measures. If you need to create a backup to any data you have on your computer you can choose a CD or a DVD. A while ago there were also the floppy disks but nowadays they are needed no more. Other computer devices took their place such as memory sticks or external hard drives.



In conclusion, we can find information about computer storage on wikipedia. We can find different information that can help us understand computer storage. Also, if you are interested in any other component of the computer you can find it on wikipedia.

Computer Storage

From the oldest times people have counted, measured things and communicated to others these things. These things can be the number of sheep, the weight of a child or the intensity of an earthquake. People have used different tools and techniques to help the count better or their measures to be more precise. Also, they tried to store different information that that thought they will used on a later time. The computer is the newest machine that can help people do these things better.

They can calculate, measure and record data with the help of the computer. All we do enter some data and it makes the calculations for us. We don’t see what happens behind these facts. We don’t know that a computer can make millions of operations per second.



Many years ago the computer was used just commercial activities. It had the size of a small room with conditional air because it got very hot, there was always a team of specialist that worked with it and it braked very often. Also, the amount of energy that was consumed by a computer was enormous. Nowadays computer are much smaller than back then and mush faster in the speed they process data. Back then, a computer was as big as a room and fitted in a medium large room nowadays it fits in small box. Computers nowadays can store a lot of data. They consume less energy and they are easier to manage. You don’t need anymore a team of people to stay with you when you open it, when you shut it down or when you are simply using it.



When we look at a computer we see what is on the outside: a monitor, a mouse, a keyboard and a PC unit. Inside this PC unit we have: the hardware, which is the most important part of a computer; it shelters the processor, different types of memories and the electronic part responsible for the control of the rest of the components. It also contains a cooler for the processor and ventilator for the source. The main board is the main component of the computer. On it there are mounted all the cards (video, audio and modem), the processor and the memory. When we turn on the computer we can see all the components that are configured by the main board’s BIOS. The processor is the core of the computer. It is measured in hertz and the bigger the number the better the computer’s speed is and it can do more operations per second.

The source of the computer is the one that gives power to the main board so the other components can work. The memory of the computer is linked to the computer storage. Computer storage is a function of the computer that allows data to be stored and kept for further use.

The conclusion is that a computer is build from more components that we know. Some of them we can see and others we can’t. The important thing is that these components combined create a device that can make our work much easier.

ATI Video Cards For Pc

When the first computer was created the only thing it did was calculations. It made very complicated calculations and at first they were only used by the military. After a period of time the computer started to be used in various domains. It has features that allow it to be used by anyone at any age. You can play games, watch movies, listen to music, create and record sounds, create graphic designs and many more.

Today, everyone has a computer in their home. As is said you can play games. And I mean that you can play really good games that make you believe that you are a part of the game. For this you need a very good video card one that is very new that supports the game you want to play. There are always new games that appear on the market and if you really want to play them you have to buy a very expensive video card. Of course, you can upgrade the one you have already but you have to make sure that your main board supports it.



In case your main board doesn’t support a newer version of a video card you have to buy a new one. It isn’t very expensive but if you keep in touch with all the technology you would probably have to buy a new computer every month. Companies make improvements to the components of computer every day and they invent things. A very impressive invention is 3D glasses. At first they were used only in cinemas but nowadays you can buy a pair and watch movies on your computer. Of course you need to have an advanced computer with an advanced video card.

Today the companies that battle for monopole in the market of computer video cards are ATI and NVIDIA. They are in a permanent evolvement and that is a very good thing because prices can stay somehow low. If there was only one company that had the monopole they could sell video cards at any price they wanted because there was no competition.



There are smaller names in this industry but they have a small rate and people don’t buy things from them because they know that if don’t have money they can’t afford to make them the best. We all know that ATI and NVIDIA make the best video cards there are today on the market.

Bottom line, if you like games very much and you want to play the new games you must have an advanced video card. Otherwise your computer won’t be able to support the new graphics and all the special effects that games have. Companies try to make better and better games for us to buy and they know that by doing that we will be forced to buy newer video cards too. For them it is a win-win situation.
