Microprocessor
A microprocessor incorporates
most or all of the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC, or microchip).
The first microprocessors emerged in the early 1970s and were used for electronic calculators,
using binary-coded decimal (BCD) arithmetic on 4-bit words.
Random Acess Memory (RAM)
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the
primary working memory of the Micro Computer, where working data storage takes place on a temporary basis. Once the
computer is turned off the data in RAM is lost. It an integrated circuits that allow stored data to be accessed in
any order (i.e., at random).RAM is considered "random access" because you can access any memory cell directly i
f you know the row and column that intersect at that cell.
Serial ATA (SATA)(Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) Cable
Serial ATA (SATA)(Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
is a computer bus interface for connecting host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives and optical
drives. Serial ATA was designed to replace the older ATA (AT Attachment) standard (also known as EIDE). SATA offers several compelling advantages over the older Parallel ATA (PATA) interface: reduced
cable-bulk and cost (reduced from 80 wires to seven), faster and more efficient data transfer, and hot swapping.
