CheckPoint: Computer Comparison CIS 105 My computer is one year old. That is we bought it exactly one year ago‚ but in today’s view it might as well be ten years old. Technology with computers is so fast paced‚ that as soon as my computer hit the store’s display it was obsolete. I have 2.00 GB in RAM‚ 32-bit operating system‚ and it is an Intel Celeron Processor at 2.20 GH2. I was not willing to check my ROM because I was told that I would have to shut down the computer to do this and then

Computer architecture or digital computer organization is the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure of a computer system. It’s a blueprint and functional description of requirements and design implementations for the various parts of a computer‚ focusing largely on the way by which the central processing unit (CPU) performs internally and accesses addresses in memory. It may also be defined as the science and art of selecting and interconnecting hardware components to create computers

The history of the modern computer age is a brief one. It has been about 50 years since the first operational computer was put into use: the MARK 1 in 1944 at Harvard and ENIAC in 1946 at the University of Pennsylvania. Early use of computers in education was primarily found in mathematics‚ science and engineering as a mathematical problem-solving tool‚ replacing the slide rule and thus permitting students to deal more directly with problems of a type and size most likely to be encountered in the
