Hard Drive: is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces.
CPU (Central Processing Unit): is a description of a class of logic machines that can execute computer programs.
Motherboard: A motherboard is the central or primary printed circuit board (PCB) making up a complex electronic system, such as a modern computer. It is also known as a mainboard, baseboard, system board, planar board,
Power Supply: is a reference to a source of electrical power. A device or system that supply electrical or other types of energy to an output load or group of. The term is most commonly applied to electrical energy supplies, less often to mechanical ones.
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect): specifies a computer bus for attaching peripheral devices to a computer motherboard.
PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express): officially abbreviated as PCI-E or PCIe, is a computer expansion card interface format introduced by Intel in 2004. PCI Express was designed to replace the general-purpose PCI expansion bus.
USB (Universal Serial Bus): is a serial bus standard to interface devices to a host computer. USB was designed to allow many peripherals to be connected using a single standardized interface socket and to improve the plug-and-play capabilities by allowing hot swapping, that is, by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer or turning off the device.
Firewire (Apple’s name for IEEE 1394 interface)
IEEE-1394: is a serial bus interface standard for high-speed communications frequently used in a personal computer. The interface is also known by the brand names of FireWire (Apple Inc.), i.LINK (Sony), and Lynx (Texas Instruments).
LCD (liquid crystal display): a thin, flat display device made up of any number of color or monochrome pixels arrayed in front of a light source or reflector. It is often utilized in battery-powered electronic devices because it uses very small amounts of electric power.
Plasma (in relation to screens) (plasma display panel (PDP)): is a type of flat panel display now commonly used for large TV displays. Many tiny cells located between two panels of glass hold an inert mixture of noble gases. The gas in the cells is electrically turned into plasma which then excites phosphors to emit light.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams.
RAM (Random access memory): is a type of computer data storage. Today it takes the form of integrated circuits that allow the stored data to be accessed in any pie order.
Flash Memory: is non-volatile computer memory that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. It is a technology that is primarily used in memory cards and USB flash drives for general storage and transfer of data between computers and other digital products. It is a specific type of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) that is erased and programmed in large blocks
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port): is a high-speed point-to-point channel for attaching a graphics card to a computer’s motherboard, primarily to assist in the acceleration of 3D computer graphics.
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc): is a popular optical disc storage media format. Its main uses are video and data storage. Most DVDs are of the same dimensions as compact discs but store more than six times as much data.
