INTRODUCTION

THIS WORK REALIZE LEARN MORE ABOUT FORM OF CARD,

TYPES OF CARD, MEMORY CARD, VIDEO CARD, SOUND CARD AND RAM TAJETA MOTHER.

DEVICES WILL ALSO SEE LITERACY AND DATA STORAGE.

MOREOVER DISCS ARE THE DISK DRIVES, SUCH AS HARDDISK, AND TAPE CINTS AS THE FLOPPY DRIVE AND PUNCHEDTAPE

VIDEO CARDA VIDEO CARD (ALSO CALLED A VIDEO ADAPTER, DISPLAY CARD, GRAPHICS CARD, GRAPHICSBOARD, DISPLAY ADAPTER OR GRAPHICS ADAPTER) ISANEXPANSION CARD WHICH GENERATES A FEED OF OUTPUT IMAGES TO A DISPLAY. MOST VIDEO CARDS OFFERVARIOUS FUNCTIONS SUCH AS ACCELERATED RENDERINGOF 3DSCENES AND 2D GRAPHICS, MPEG-2/MPEG-4 DECODING, TV OUTPUT, OR THE ABILITY TO CONNECTMULTIPLE MONITORS (MULTI-MONITOR).

NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER OR NETWORK CARD:A NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER (NIC) (ALSOKNOWN AS A NETWORK INTERFACE CARD, NETWORKADAPTER, LAN ADAPTER AND BY SIMILAR TERMS) ISA COMPUTER HARDWARE COMPONENT THAT CONNECTSA COMPUTER TO A COMPUTER NETWORK.

SOUND CARD

A SOUND CARD (ALSO KNOWN AS AN AUDIO CARD) ISAN INTERNAL COMPUTER EXPANSION CARD THATFACILITATES THE INPUT AND OUTPUT OF AUDIO SIGNALS TO AND FROM A COMPUTER UNDER CONTROL OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS.

MOTHERBOARD

A MOTHERBOARD (SOMETIMES ALTERNATIVELY KNOWNAS THE MAINBOARD, SYSTEM BOARD, PLANARBOARD OR LOGIC BOARD, OR COLLOQUIALLY, A MOBO) IS THE MAIN PRINTED CIRCUITBOARD (PCB) FOUND IN COMPUTERS AND OTHERTECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS.

RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY

RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY (RAM) IS A FORMOF COMPUTER DATA STORAGE. A RANDOM-ACCESS DEVICE ALLOWS STORED DATA TO BEACCESSED DIRECTLY IN ANY RANDOM ORDER.

DATA STORAGE DEVICE

A DATA STORAGE DEVICE IS A DEVICEFOR RECORDING (STORING) INFORMATION (DATA). RECORDING CAN BE DONE USINGVIRTUALLY ANY FORM OF ENERGY, SPANNINGFROM MANUAL MUSCLE POWERIN HANDWRITING, TO ACOUSTIC VIBRATIONSIN PHONOGRAPHIC RECORDING, TOELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGYMODULATING MAGNETIC TAPE AND OPTICALDISCS.

READERS

USB FLASH DRIVEA USB FLASH DRIVE IS A DATA STORAGEDEVICE THAT INCLUDES FLASH MEMORY WITH ANINTEGRATED UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) INTERFACE. USB FLASH DRIVES ARE TYPICALLYREMOVABLE AND REWRITABLE, AND PHYSICALLY MUCHSMALLER THAN A FLOPPY DISK. MOST WEIGH LESSTHAN 30 GRAMS (1.1 OZ). AS OF SEPTEMBER2011, DRIVES OF UP TO 256 GIGABYTES (GB) ARE AVAILABLE.

DVD RECORDER

A DVD RECORDER (ALSO KNOWN AS A DVDR, MAINLY OUTSIDE OF THE UK AND IRELAND), IS AN OPTICAL DISC RECORDER THATUSESOPTICAL DISC RECORDINGTECHNOLOGIES TO DIGITALLYRECORD ANALOG SIGNAL OR DIGITAL SIGNALS ONTO BLANK WRITABLE DVD MEDIA. SUCH DEVICES ARE AVAILABLE AS EITHERINSTALLABLE DRIVES FOR COMPUTERS OR AS STANDALONE COMPONENTS FOR USE IN TELEVISION STUDIOS OR HOME THEATERSYSTEMS.

CD ROMIS A PRE-PRESSED COMPACT DISC WHICHCONTAINS DATA. THE NAME ISAN ACRONYM WHICH STANDS FOR "COMPACT DISCREAD-ONLY MEMORY". COMPUTERS CAN READ CD-ROMS, BUT CANNOT WRITE ONTHEM.

DISKS AND DISK DRIVESHARD DISK DRIVEIS A DATA STORAGE DEVICE USED FORSTORING AND RETRIEVING DIGITAL INFORMATION USINGRAPIDLY ROTATING DISCS (PLATTERS) COATED WITH MAGNETIC MATERIAL. ANHDD RETAINS ITS DATA EVEN WHEN POWEREDOFF. DATA IS READ IN A RANDOM-ACCESS MANNER, MEANING INDIVIDUAL BLOCKS OF DATA CAN BE STORED ORRETRIEVED IN ANY ORDER RATHER THANJUST SEQUENTIALLY.

TAPE AND TAPES DRIVE

A FLOPPY DISK, OR DISKETTE, ISA DISK STORAGE MEDIUM COMPOSED OF A DISK OF THIN AND FLEXIBLE MAGNETICSTORAGE MEDIUM, SEALED IN A RECTANGULAR PLASTIC CARRIER LINEDWITH FABRIC THAT REMOVES DUSTPARTICLES. THEY ARE READ AND WRITTEN BY A FLOPPY DISK DRIVE (FDD).

PUNCHED TAPEPUNCHED TAPE OR PERFORATED PAPERTAPE IS A FORM OF DATA STORAGE, CONSISTING OF A LONG STRIP OF PAPER IN WHICH HOLES ARE PUNCHEDTO STORE DATA.

KEYBOARD

IN COMPUTING, A KEYBOARD IS A TYPEWRITER-STYLEDEVICE, WHICH USES AN ARRANGEMENT OF BUTTONSOR KEYS, TO ACT AS MECHANICAL LEVERS ORELECTRONIC SWITCHES. FOLLOWING THE DECLINE OF PUNCH CARDS AND PAPER TAPE, INTERACTIONVIA TELEPRINTER-STYLE KEYBOARDS BECAME THEMAIN INPUT DEVICE FOR COMPUTERS
