    PARTS OF COMPUTER
     Hardware
    • Monitor.
    • Motherboard.
    • CPU(Microprocessor).
    • Main memory(RAM).
    • Read only memory (ROM).
     Software
    • Application Software.
    • System Software.
     Hardware
     Computer hardware includes the physical parts of
    a computer
     Hardware is typically directed by the software to
    execute any command or instruction.
     Hardware includes:
    1. Monitor.
    2. Motherboard.
    3. CPU(Microprocessor.
    4. Main memory(RAM)
    1.Monitor
    A computer monitor is
    an output device that
    displays information in
    pictorial form.
    A monitor usually
    comprises the visual
    display, circuitry, casing,
    and power supply.
    2.Motherboard
    The motherboard is the
    main circuit board of your
    computer and is also
    known as the mainboard
    or logic board.
    The motherboard is a
    computer’s central
    communications
    backbone connectivity
    point, through which all
    components connect.
    3.CPU
    Stands for "Central
    Processing Unit."
    The CPU is the primary
    component of a computer
    that processes instructions.
    It runs the operating
    system and applications,
    constantly receiving input
    from the user or active
    software programs.
    4.RAM
    Random-Access Memory
    is a form of computer
    memory that can be read
    and changed in any order,
    typically used to store
    working data and machine
    code.
    RAM temporarily stores
    all information a device
    needs for the present and
    future
    4.1:Types of RAM
     There are two main types of RAM which includes;
    1. Dynamic RAM
    2. Static RAM
    • DRAM (pronounced DEE-RAM), is widely used as a
    computer's main memory. ...
    • SRAM (pronounced ES-RAM) is made up of four to
    six transistors
    5.ROM
    Read-only memory (ROM)
    is a type of storage medium
    that permanently stores data
    on personal computers
    (PCs) and other electronic
    devices.
    ROM contains the
    programming needed to start
    a PC.
    It performs major
    input/output tasks and holds
    programs or software
    instructions.
    5.1:Types of ROM
     There are four main types
    of ROM which includes;
    1. MROM (Masked ROM).
    2. PROM (Programmable Read
    Only Memory).
    3. EPROM (Erasable and
    Programmable Read Only
    Memory).
    4. EEPROM (Electrically Erasable
    and Programmable Read Only
    Memory).
     Software
     Software is a collection of instructions that enable
    the user to interact with a computer, its hardware,
    or perform tasks.
     Without software, most computers would be
    useless.
     For example, without an operating system, the
    browser could not run on your computer.
     There are two main types of software which
    includes;
    1. Application Software.
    2. System Software.
    1.Applicationsoftware

    • Applications software is capable of


    dealing with user inputs and helps the
    user to complete the task. It is also
    called end-user programs or only an
    app.
    • It resides above system software. 
    • Some examples of Application Software
    are; Word processing software,
    Spreadsheets Software, Presentation,
    Graphics, CAD/CAM, Sending email
    etc.
    2.Systemsoftware
    • System Software (a type of computer
    program) provides a platform to run
    computer’s hardware and computer
    application to utilize system resources
    and solve their computation problem.
    • It is written in a low-level language.
    • The best-known example of system
    software is the operating system
    (OS).It responsible for manages all the
    other programs on a computer.
