    Types of Digital Computers

    Digital Computers:
    Digital Computer is a machine or a device that helps to process any kind
    of information. These are the devices through which we provide some
    input and get the output within a fraction of seconds.

    Types of Digital Computers:


    1. Microcomputer: A Microcomputer is not really
    expensive and it comes with a microprocessor as
    its Central processing unit and input/output devic-
    es. These computers are generally called personal
    computers and few of the examples are IBM pc,
    Apple, Dell.

    2. Minicomputers: Minicomputers are know


    as mid-range computers that contain one or
    more processors. They support multiprocessing
    which means these multiple processors share
    the same computer memory and other required
    peripheral devices to perform the given task.
    Minicomputers are generally used for
    processing transactions, file handling, managing database.

    3. Mainframe Computers: Mainframe


    computers are generally large size computers
    mainly used for storing large amounts of data
    and processing. It is known for a high level of
    reliability. These machines are used by an organi-
    zation which requires crucial application such as census, customer
    statistics for large calculation which requires a high volume
    of data processing.
