This era is the age of information technology and computers. Given the importance of computers in our lives and studies, this book has been authored to cover computer components. The book is divided into ten units. The first unit discusses the computer, its generations, and the stages of its development. The second unit delves into computer hardware across three chapters: Chapter One: Introduction to Computer Hardware, Chapter Two: The System Unit (System Case), and Chapter Three: The Power Supply. The third unit addresses internal components—the motherboard—in two chapters: Chapter One: Introduction, and Chapter Two: Motherboard Components and Expansion Slots. The fourth unit covers the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), and the fifth unit examines the computer's CPU. The sixth unit discusses main memory in two chapters: Chapter One: Main Memory, and Chapter Two: Types of Memory in a Computer. The seventh unit further explores types of memory. The eighth unit deals with other computer components through several chapters: Chapter One: The Keyboard, Chapter Two: The Mouse, Chapter Three: Scanners, Chapter Four: The Disk Card, Chapter Five: The Monitor, Chapter Six: Printers, Chapter Seven: Speakers, and Chapter Eight: The Sound Card. The ninth unit discusses operating systems, and the tenth unit is dedicated to troubleshooting and maintenance.
