    The document describes several common computer parts including the motherboard, ROM, sound card, RAM, graphics card, HDD, and SSD. The motherboard manages all other components and distributes power. ROM stores basic software and data. A sound card converts digital and analog sound. RAM provides temporary memory for applications. A graphics card generates visual output. An HDD stores files and data. An SSD performs similar functions to an HDD but is faster and uses less power.

    COMPUTER PARTS

    Motherboard
    The motherboard is the largest card in the computer and it is the
    one to which all other cards and the CPU are attached. The
    motherboard's primary purpose is to manage all the computer's
    subsystems. A chipset manages communications among systems.
    The motherboard also distributes power to the systems with low
    power needs.

    ROM (Read Only Memory)


    ROM is a memory chip whose main function is to store data. It contains the necessary
    instructions for various hardware components to
    communicate with one another. It can be used for basic data
    management, storing software for fundamental tasks and
    utilities, reading and writing to peripheral devices, and storing
    and operating the BIOS.

    Sound Card
    A sound card is a computer component
    responsible for generating and recording audio. It
    converts between digital data and analog
    sound. This allows you to listen to music and
    record your own sound. There are many uses
    for a sound card, like to hear sound from a video game, listen to movies, have text be read
    to you, etc.

    RAM (Random Access Memory)


    RAM is a temporary memory bank where your computer
    stores data it needs to retrieve quickly. It provides the
    shorter-term memory the CPU needs to open files and
    move data around as it responds to the tasks given to it by
    your apps. The main purpose of RAM in a computer is to
    read and write any data. RAM memory works with the
    computer's hard disk.
    Graphics Card
    A graphics card is a computer expansion card that
    generates a feed of graphics output to a display device
    such as a monitor. They are electronic chips that do
    everything from displaying images on your computer
    monitor to rendering complex graphics when you play
    games or edit videos. It can be used for video editing,
    3D graphics rendering, and much more.

    HDD (Hard Disk Drive)


    The HDD is the component of a computer responsible for storing all documents and data,
    including files, the operating system and more.
    More specifically, hard disk drives’ purpose is the
    reading, writing, and storing of data. HDDs use
    mechanical spinning disks to access data. They are
    reliable devices for backups as well as normal
    computer processes.

    SSD (Solid-State Drives)


    SSDs perform the same basic functions as a hard drive. But
    SSDs are significantly faster in comparison. An SSD can
    speed up your everyday tasks by up to six times as they use
    flash memory. With an SSD, the device's operating system
    will boot up more rapidly, programs will load quicker and
    files can be saved faster. Solid state drives require less power, which translates into better
    battery life.
