Competencies (1 of 2) • Describe the four basic types of system units • Discuss how a computer uses binary codes to represent data in electronic form • Describe each of the major system unit components • Discuss microprocessors, including specialty processors • Describe the different types of memory Page 154

  8. Competencies (2 of 2) • Discuss expansion slots and boards • Describe the five principal types of expansion buses • Discuss the four standard ports Page 154

  9. Introduction Speed, capacity, and flexibility determine the power of microcomputers. Knowledge of a computer’s power allows you to make good buying decisions and to determine if your current system will run new applications. Competent end users need to understand the basic principles of how microcomputers are put together. These principles will be covered in this chapter. Page 155

  10. System Unit Page 155

  11. System Unit Types • Desktop System Units • Notebook System Units • Tablet PCSystem Units • Handheld Computer System Units Page 156

  12. Electronic Data and Instructions • Data and instructions are represented electronically • Two-state system or Binary System • Off/on electrical states • Characters represented by 0s (off) and 1s (on) • Bits • Bytes Page 157

  13. Binary Coding Schemes • Three types of binary coding schemes • ASCII - American Standard Code for Information Exchange • EBCDIC - Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code • Unicode – handles languages with large numbers of characters Page 158

  14. System Board • Connects all components • Allows communication between devices • Main board or motherboard • Circuit board electronic components • Sockets • Slots • Bus lines Page 159

  15. Microprocessor • Central Processing Unit (CPU) • Two Basic Components • Control unit • Arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) Page 161

  16. Microprocessor Chips • Chip capacities are expressed in word sizes • Two Recent Significant Developments • 64-bit processors • Becoming more commonplace • Windows XP Professional X64 Edition • Dual-Core Chips • Can provide two separate and independent CPUs • Parallel processing Page 162

  17. Specialty Processors • Coprocessors • Designed to improve specific computing operations • Graphics coprocessors • Smart cards • Credit card sized with an embedded chip • Used by many universities • RFID tags • Information chips • Used for tracking purposes Page 162

  18. Memory • Holding area for data, instructions, and information • Memory is contained on chips connected to the system board • Types of memory chips • RAM • ROM • CMOS Page 163

  19. RAM • Random Access Memory (RAM) chips hold the program and data • Cache memory or RAM cache • Flash RAM or flash memory • Other types of RAM • DRAM • SDRAM • DDR • Direct RDRAM Return Page 163

  20. ROM • Read-only memory (ROM) chips are not volatile and cannot be changed by the user • CPU can read, or retrieve data and programs but the computer cannot write • Contain special instructions • Needed to start a computer • Give keyboard keys their special capabilities • Put characters on screen Return Page 164
