computer elements?

Answer 1

This rather unique question has recently appeared several times from different people here in Yahoo Answers...

... is there a paper due ?

This is the answer given by a respondant named 'tuts"

*** Quote :

Most of the Computer designs today are based on the John Von Neumann Architecture. It states that a Computer consists of:
- I/O Device (To input data and output information)
- CPU (To process data to get the information)
CPU consists of:
- MU that holds data temporarily.
- ALU to perform arithmatic & logic operation on the data.
- CU to send the control signal to direct CPU as to do what kind of operation (arithmatic or logic)

Functional Elements of the Computer


The functional elements of a computer are the

* central processing unit (CPU),
* random access storage (memory), and
* input/output to external devices (I/O).

The sub-units of the CPU are

* instruction decode and CPU control,
* control of addressing for memory and I/O ports,
* data transfer control,
* data and address registers and
* arithmetic logic unit.

To keep track of the CPU steps, the processor maintains a special register, known as the program counter. The program counter points to (contains the address of) the next instruction to be executed. The instruction itself specifies

* the operation to be performed,
* the processor registers to be used and
* possibly data (or a pointer to data in memory).

The CPU will typically perform the following execution cycle:

1. use the program counter to fetch the next instruction.
2. decode the instruction and fetch data from memory into internal registers as required,
3. perform the instruction and put the result in another internal register and
4. set status bits in the status register as required.

Answer 3

Mark H above is wrong. The computer element is silicon.

Answer 4

Motherboard
CPU(Processor)
R.A.M(Random Access Memory, or commonly known just as memory)
Harddrive
Video Card

Sound cards are commonly integrated into motherboards now, and also with video cards, but integrated video cards are terrible for gaming or anything graphics card intensive.

Answer 5

Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Heart
