- The computer system is the complete set of the computer i.e. CPU, monitor,

keyboard and mouse.- Two basic part of a computer:

(i) Hardware: a physical component of the computer system which you can see, feel and touch.(ii) Software: a non-physical programmes which co-ordinate and control the computer hardware or system. It cannot be seen, you can only see its operation.

- Computer hardware is divided into two types: (a) Computer peripheral (b) CPU. Computer peripheral is divided into two types; the input device and the output

device CPU is divided into three: ALU (Arithmetic and Logical Unit), memory unit &

Control unit. - Any computer that is being connected to the CPU is called a peripheral unit.- Input device is a device that is used to collect data from the computer.- Examples input devices: keyboard, scanner, mouse, microphone- Example of output devices: monitor, speaker, printer, flash drive- Monitor is of two types: CRT and LCD. Keyboard is of two types:

i. Enhanced keyboard: it has a total number of keys from 105-107 and it has a functional key from F1 – F12.ii. Standard keyboard: it has a total number of keys from 95-970 and it has functional keys from F1 – F10.

Mouse is of three types: serial, optical & Ps 2. Printer is of two types: impact printer and non-impact printer. - CPU is powered by a microprocessor.- Microprocessor is the thing controlling every component in a computer system.- CPU REGISTER is a strong medium that hold data temporarily while the

computer is executing information.- CPU REGISTER is of 5 types. ACC – it holds data that are to be used in arithmetic operation. PC – the CPU make use of the PC to make way to the next instruction. SP – it is used to return the computer to a specific point in a programme. DR – it is used to supply data for the CPU to process. Memory – it is space where data or information can be stored either for

temporary use or permanent use.

10

- ALU is the unit of the CPU that deals with anything that has to do with calculation of data.

We have two types of memory – Primary/internal memory & Secondary/auxiliary/external memory.

- PRIMARY MEMORY – Primary memory are basically found inside the CPU e.g. RAM & ROM.

- SECONDARY MEMORY – Secondary memory are found outside the CPU e.g. flash drive, memory, CD, hard disk & floppy disk.

- RAM is volatile in nature i.e. it does not save data permanently (It is a temporal memory).

- RAM helps in booting the computer system.- Booting is the process of turning on your computer system.- We have two types of booting: cold booting and run booting. Cold booting: it is when you are turning on your computer system for the first

time in that day. Run booting: When you restart your computer. - ROM – is a permanent memory i.e. anything that is being saved in a ROM

cannot be erased or deleted (it is non-volatile in nature).- The Secondary memory is used to transfer information from one computer to

another.- OS (Operating System) helps to co-ordinate all the software inside a computer.- Hard disk is the main storage device of the computer system.- Sizes of memory: 1,024bits = 1byts, 1,024byts = 1kb, 1,024kb = 1mb, 1,024 mb

= 1 GB, 1,024 GB = 1tb....- Control unit is the nerve centre of a computer, it fetches instruction from the

main storage, interpret them and issue a necessary signal to the component parts of the computer system.

- Control unit co-ordinates data transfer between the computer main memory and the peripheral unit. It also executes and time instructions.

- CPU is the brain of the computer system. It is where all processing activities are being done.

- CPU is also where all peripherals are connected to, to enable them function.- The basic component of the CPU; Mother board: It is where all other components are connected to in order to

function. Input and output: It is where you insert your input or output devices.

11

Card slots: networking slot, video slot, sound slot. CD-ROM drive, floppy drive Hard disk: it can also be called IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics). Cables and wires CasingSOFTWARE- Software is of three types: 1. Programming software: are used by programmers in writing computer

programmes and setting instructions e.g. case tool.2. System software: it can also be called “Operating system (OS)”. It helps in the

functioning of other application software, e.g. window XP, window 7, window 8, window vista, window premium, window zoos, window 200s, unix, linus, mackintosh.

Without the Operating System, the hardware won’t work; the application software won’t be able to work too.

It also helps in booting the computer system.3. Application software: is any software that can make us to accomplish a specific

task on a computer system, e.g. Microsoft word – for typing documents Microsoft power point – for presentation Microsoft access – for database programme e.g. oracle Microsoft CorelDraw: for graphic design & Photoshop Microsoft FrontPage – For web designing Microsoft Outlook – for sending and receiving e-mails Microsoft One note – for scheduling.

NOTE: All the types of application software fall under Microsoft Sp.
