Systems Vocabulary
1.Central processing unit-The CPU is responsible for performing all of the airthmetic and logical instructions that computer can do.
2.Expansion slots-Connections that et you install expansion boards also called (adapter cards)-circuit boards that allow you to attach additional devices to your computer system.
3.Flash memory-Smartmedia and CompactFash cards store megabytes of data on small, thin, rectangular cards using a type of chip known as Flash Memory.
4.Graphical user interface(GUI)-lets users piont and click on recognizable, intuituve, and consistent objects, elimanating the need to memorize complex commands and syntax.
5.Hard drive-is the storage device at the heart of most computer system.
6.Hardware-Encompasses all the physicak components of a computer sysytem.
7.Input device-Are external to the system unit and are attached to it using specific connectors and ports.
8.Linux-Is a powerful operating system for PCs based on Unix.
9.MacOS-beginning with version 8.
10.Mainframe-perform multiple tasks for many users simultanneosly-usually for large corporations or organizations.

12.Motherboard-All computer circuitary is connected to the main circuit board.
13.Operting Syste(OS)-The software program that oversees and controls everything that happens while your computer is turned on.
14.Output device-Show you the results of the computer's processing.
15.Platform-The combination of a specific type of computer system and a specific version of operating system.
16.Professional workstation-Meets the needs users requiring more computing power than a personal computers.
17.Random acces memory(RAM)-Chips store data only temporarily; all; information is erased when the computer is turned off.
18.read-only memory(ROM)-Chips have instructions and data built into them.
19.Supercomputer-Meet this need by processing trillions of calculations per second.
20.Syntax-The user must type commands using particular keywords, punctuation symbols, and other rigidly enforced rules, collectively.
21.System Software-Includes the opertaing system and utility programs that help to operate and maintain your computer's data management tasks.
22.System Unit-Is the case that houses the computer's internal processing circuitry- including the motherboard, disk drives, power supply, plugin boards, and internal speakers.
23.User interface-The way in which the user interacts with the computer.
24.Utility program-The other part of the system software, perform "behind the scenes" duties that are important but not essential to the basic operating of the system.
