Computer hardware is a collection of physical parts and sensible components of a computer system that can be seen and touch. As like - Monitor, Keyboard, CPU and Mouse. It is also includes all the parts inside the computer case, such as the motherboard, hard-disk drive, video card, sound card and many other.

A typically PC (Personal Computer) consist of a case in desktop or tower shape and the following parts:

Motherboard

The motherboard is a printed circuit board of a computer that is the biggest board in a computer chassis. It permits communication and allocates power to and between the Ram, CPU, HDD, and all other computer hardware components.

A motherboard is designed to work with specific type of memory and processor, so it is not capable of work with every type of memory and processor.

The first motherboard is released in 1981, considered to be one used in the IBM (International Business Machine) personal computer. The motherboard and IBM Personal Computer inside it would set the standerd for IBM compatible computer hardware going forward.

Components of a Motherboard

A Motherboard itself is the basic and combinations of different components of the motherboard are following:
  • Memory slots
  • Chipsets
  • Processor sockets
  • Form factors
  • Expensive slots
  • Power connectors
  • Disk connectors
  • BIOS/Firmware
  • Back-panel connectors
  • Front-panel connectors
  • CMOS and CMOS battery

The popular manufacture of the mother board.

  • Intel
  • Asus
  • Biostar
  • ASRock
  • EVGA Corporation
  • Gigabyte Technology
  • MSI (Micro-star International)
  • AOpen

Floppy Disk Floppy disk is slower to access than hard disk. Floppy disk has low storage capacity, if the size of file increases than decreases the capacity of floppy disk. Hard Disk A Hard Disk is a storage medium. This drive is made up of a series of circular disk called platters arranged. A Hard Disk drive are made of non-magnetic material. A Hard Disk composed of numerous discs of metered sensitive to magnetic field. It has magnetic technology. Optical Disk An Optical Disk is input and output device. These devices use lesser technology to record data and information. It has a large storage capacity of the Gigabyte (GB). Magnetic Tape Magnetic Tape is a storage medium of secondary memory. They fit up to more than 4GB (Gigabyte). Pen Drive A Pen Drive is a portable memory devices. It is used to solid state memory rather t

The language translator is a program that converts programming languages into another programming language. Language translator is also called language processor. A program written in any high-level programming languages is known as the source code, to convert the source code into machine code is known as object code. There are three types of language translator. Assembler Compiler Interpreter Assembler An assembler is a program written in machine level language whose function to translate the assembly language code into machine language code. It is a low level programming language where we place of machine codes. Advantage Assembler is very fast translating assembly language to machine code as one by one relationship. Efficiency in execution just like machine level language. Disadvantage Assembly language is difficul

The period of the third generation was from 1965-1971. In this generation was used of IC (Integrated Circuits). IC reduced the price, size , use of electricity, etc. Third generation computers were used Keyboard, Mouse, and also used the operation system to improved a new level and high speed. Characteristics of the third generation computer Use of IC (Integrated Circuits) instead of transistors Use of magnetic storage device Use of mini-computers Use of monitor, keyboard, and line printers Use high-level programming languages Less expensive maintenance cost Less expensive than second generation Improved faster operations and more dependable Small size than second generation computer Some computers of third generation IBM 360 series IBM 370 IBM 168 TDC 316 Honeywell 6000 series PDP (Personal Data Processor)
