tasks in a systemic way. It basically allows the devices to work concurrently without issues. Random-access-memory (RAM) is a very important specification of the computer. By ensuring you have enough RAM‚ the faster your system processes‚ you can store more data‚ and allow more programs to run at the same time. As the OS allows the different task to complete for the processor‚ the RAM is used as temp storage‚ when the processor no longer needs them the OS clears it. Virtual memory is the hard drive

CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) is a way of constructing integrated circuits. The technology is used today in microprocessors‚ microcontrollers‚ static RAM‚ and other digital circuits. CMOS utilizes transistors to store information in a volatile manner‚ but is sometimes thought of as non-volatile due to the common use of a battery to maintain the power to the chip‚ and recent changes to using EEPROM technology. In a personal computer‚ the CMOS is mainly used to store settings for

Computer Systems Assignment. Task 1. (A computer system is made up of a variety of internal and external components‚ describe the components and their function‚ how they communicate with each other and what different types are available.) Computer systems recently have essentially been split into three categories in terms of hardware. There is the basic build‚ which accommodates smaller and more basic equipment that is ideal for office use or personal computing. There is then a stylish and fast

of these factors are Random Access Memory (RAM)‚ clock speed‚ data on the hard disc‚ data on a CD ROM‚ and data on a floppy disc. The role of these factors can determine the speed of a computer. Random Access Memory‚ otherwise referred to as RAM‚ is a working area where the operating system (e.g. Windows)‚ programs and data in current use are kept‚ ready to be accessed by the processor (Davies 2004). Another way to explain this is to relate the RAM to building a house. Several aspects of the

Q. Explain about Primary memory. There are two kinds of computer memory: primary and secondary. Primary memory is accessible directly by the processing unit. RAM is an example of primary memory. As soon as the computer is switched off the contents of the primary memory is lost. You can store and retrieve data much faster with primary memory compared to secondary memory. Primary memory is more expensive than secondary memory. Because of this the size of primary memory is less than that of secondary
