3. Processes data

4. Produces output

6. Keyboard - is used mainly for typing text into your computer. Like the keyboard on a typewriter, it has keys for letters and numbers, but it also has special keys.

7. Mouse - is a small device used to point to and select items on your computer screen.

13. Virtual Memory – Space on a hard disk used to temporarily store data and swap it in and out of RAM.

14. Motherboard – This is the main circuit board that all of the other internal components connect to.

15. Power supply – An electrical transformer regulates the electricity used by the computer.

17. Integrated Drive Electronics(IDE)Controller – The primary interface for the hard drive, CD-ROM and floppy disk.

18. Peripheral Component Interconnect(PCI)Bus – The most common way to connect additional components to the computer.

19. SCSI – Pronounced “scuzzy”, the small computer system interface is a method of adding additional devices .

22. Graphics Card – This translates image data from the computer into a format that can be displayed by the monitor.

23. 2 Main Parts of Computer

24. Hardware - are the parts of computer itself including the CPU.

29. Server – refers to a computer’s function rather than to a specific kind of computer. A server runs a network of computers.

30. Processing – is the special ability of the computer.
