Computer Parts 101
Motherboard
-The motherboard, often called mobo, is the circuit board to which
the other parts of the computer are connected. It serves as the
“back bone” of the computer.
CPU
-The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is considered to be the
fundamental part of a computer. Its main purpose is to execute a
sequence of instructions. The CPU “fetches” an instruction which
determines what the CPU is supposed to do. The CPU then decodes this
instruction so that each part of the CPU would have a task to do.
Next, the CPU, as a whole, executes the step determined by the
instruction through logical operations. Finally, the CPU “writes
back” the output into computer memory. The CPU is directly connected
to the motherboard.

RAM
-The Random access memory (RAM) is a type of computer memory that
stores data of running programs. The capacity of RAM is relatively
small compared to other storage devices but the data in the RAM are
accessed faster than in storage devices although the data is lost
once the power is cut off. Having more RAM means that a computer
can run more programs at the same time thus increasing performance.
RAM chips are placed directly on the RAM slots of the motherboard

Hard Drive
-The Hard disk drive, or Hard Drive for short is a magnetic storage device with
capacities vastly greater than RAM. The data in a hard drive is accessed slower than
that of RAM but it is non-volatile meaning data will not be lost
even without power supply. Hard drives are connected to the
motherboard via IDE/SATA cables.
Optical Disc Drive
-The disc drive is a peripheral device which uses lenses and
laser light to read and write data on optical discs. The most common
optical drives today are the CD drive and the DVD drive. Like the
hard drive, the optical disc drive is connected to the motherboard
using IDE/SATA cables.
Video Card
-A video card is a special circuit board responsible for the sending
of graphical information to a monitor to be displayed. Some
computers have built-in video cards in their motherboards that
“share” or uses memory from the RAM while some have dedicated video
cards that have their own memory. Dedicated video cards are
connected directly to the motherboard.

Buy Branded Computers at Wholesale Prices!
If you have are in the market for a new computer, you have probably noticed that most brand name computers today are very expensive. You might also have heard that prices of computer components have fallen drastically. For example, the price of memory boards and processors have hit an all time low because of the many enhancements done in manufacturing processes of electronic manufacturers.
The various ranges of prices for electronic goods such as mother boards and other assorted computer parts have also decreased significantly over the months as a result of these technological advances. Despite these advances, computer manufacturers and computer retailers are in the business to make profits and brand name computers will remain expensive.
Fortunately, anyone can still find a quality computer system without spending a fortune. Simply find a computer dealer who specializes in wholesale computer parts and components. To get the best quality system available and save money, many people are building their own computer using parts purchased from a wholesale distributor. It is a common misconception that components purchased from a wholesale distributor are in some way inferior to the components available in brand name computers and honestly, I used to be one of those people.
Before I learned the truth from an IT Professional, I believed that economical and inferior manufacturers used wholesale distributors to offload their inferior components on unsuspecting customers. My views changed when my computer crashed on me and I sought out a repair technician at a local authorized dealer. The best quote I was able to find still seemed exorbitant and definitely did not fit into my tight budget. I was in a desperate situation without my computer, so I swallowed my pride and opened up the yellow pages and found a local wholesale distributor who specializes in computer parts. Against my better judgment, and because funds were very low, I packed up my computer and made the trip across town.
Imagine my surprise when I arrived to find that this shop wasn’t just a wholesale computer parts distributor, he actually had his own repair service and I didn’t have to make an appointment for 2 weeks later. He quickly diagnosed my problem and gave me a repair quote that was a fraction of what the authorized and retail dealer had given me. Naturally, I was suspicious of the significant price difference, so as I considered his offer, I cautiously surveyed the computer parts on display. The technician sensed my hesitation, so to ease my mind and make my decision easier, he cracked open my computer. After clearing away the dust and cobwebs, he showed me that the replacement parts on his shelf were exactly the same as the parts the manufacturer used to build my computer. He then went on to explain how the wholesale and wholesaler computer parts business worked.
He patiently and throughly explained that as a general rule, computer parts manufacturers make more parts than ordered by a brand name computer manufacturer. This is a built in quality control feature to ensure that a sudden increase in demand or a quality issue can be handled and processed very quickly and efficiently. After the order is filled and the excess parts are no longer needed, they are sold to wholesale distributors at deep discounts. The wholesale distributors then pass the discounts on these perfectly good computer parts to users like you and me.
So instead of shaking your head at the high process of brand name computers in your local superstore, take a look through your phone book, or favorite search engine, and find a quality wholesale distributor that specializes in computer parts. You’ll save money and get exactly what you want in your new computer at a fraction of the cost. You may not even have to replace your old computer; the dealer can show you how to save more money by upgrading your old beat up computer system.
