Questions: 1.Dicuss about the types of Computers 2.Technically write a detailed paragraph, what happens when you turn on your Computer? 3.Write a minimum of fourparagraphs expressing an opinion on finding a computer that meets the requirements of your friend and does not exceed his/her budget. Answers: Types of Computers Supercomputers Supercomputer is the term given to the group of the fastest computers currently available. They can do large mathematical calculations in a small amount of time. The best known supercomputer manufacturing company is Cray Research [1]. The IBM iDataPlex servers use a 300TB RAM and can achieve a speed of 2.9 petaflops. The temperature of the water of the cooling system reaches a temperature of 104 degrees in Fahrenheit. Mainframe Mainframe is referred to the cabinet which contains the central processing unit of a computer. The most recent type of mainframes can support thousands of multiple workers at the same time. The main difference between the mainframe and the supercomputer is the processing speed of the computers [2]. The supercomputer would put all its resources into making one process faster and completing it early where as the mainframe will equally distribute the working of the processor among the different users connected to it. The operating system used in a mainframe consists of internal working consisting of memories, processors, and devices with the availability of file management system [2] Minicomputers The minicomputers are the group of computers which can support the working of almost 200 workers simultaneously. The computers are small in size and below the range of a supercomputer and a mainframe [3]. A minicomputer consists of a single or multiple processors and provide the support of multitasking. They are generally made in such a way so that they can take enough load and not break down completely. Workstations These computers are used by engineering students to produce work assignments in the field of software development, desktop publishing and other types of software usage which require the use of moderate resources enough to run the softwares without any hindrance [4]. They come equipped with a separate ram and storage place like a hard drive. They are connected to the internet with the help of local area network. The computers are equipped with a high speed RAM and better graphics so that working on different softwares does not make the system slow. There can be different components which can be added to a workstation [4]. They range from keyboards, mouse, speakers and even the connection to all the other computers connected on the same server. The network created is common for all the systems. Personal computers These computers are a group of systems which is used by an individual to separately work for their personal use. The device is considered as a property of the individual who owns the device. The devices are used at home by the individual for their personal works [5]. These computers can range from a small PDA to a desktop. The external devices to be connected to this systems vary from type to type. They stay connected to the individuals personal networ2. Points on the diagram Name of the component Use of the component What happens when the computer is turned on 1 PCI Slot It is used for the expansion of the computers capabilities [6]. The components connected to this port gets powered up once the power is switched on. The settings of the modules are invoked and the work it is supposed to do starts. 2 PCIe Slots It is used for the expansion of the computers capabilities. The expansion cards attached to this slot gets powered up and the computer starts to work with the device as a whole system [6]. 3 CPU Socket The connector is used to connect the CPU processor to the motherboard [7] The kernel settings and the bios setting are first invoked and the bios settings are loaded into the system memory. 4 Memory (DIMM) socket Dual in line memory module or in common terms RAM is attached to this port. the sectors are cleaned and the OS settings are loaded into the RAM for further working of the system [7]. 5 ATX Power Connection As ATX is a type of category of the mother board, this slot determines the type of power connection to attach to the motherboard[8]. This is the first place where the power reaches first when the device is turned on. This then transmits the power to other places in the mother board. 6 Floppy Disk Drive Connector This port is used to connect the floppy drive to the motherboard using the twisted ribbon cable Though the port has become obsolete but the ports would activate the floppy disk connected to the motherboard [8]. 7 IDE Connector This port is used to connect the different optical drivers to the motherboard [8]. The optical drives gets powered on and does a test run to check if the motor inside the drive is running or not. 8 IDE Connector This port is used to connect the different optical drivers to the motherboard [7]. The optical drives gets powered on and does a test run to check if the motor inside the drive is running or not. 9 SATA Port This port is used to connect the hard disk to the motherboard. The SATA port activated the hard drive attached to it and start booting up the OS from the boot sector of the drive [6] 10 CMOS Battery The battery powers the motherboard to stay active when the computer has been switched to keep track of time and save the bios settings in the memory. As the battery is rechargeable in nature the battery starts charging it self when the computer is switched on [7] 3.I would like to recommend the following components for the building of the $900 computer system. Monitor: Acer GN246HL Bbid 24-Inch 3D Gaming Display (144Hz Refresh Rate) Keyboard: Corsair Gaming K55 RGB Keyboard, Backlit RGB LED Mouse: Razer Mamba Tournament Edition - Professional Grade Chroma Ergonomic Gaming Mouse - 16,000 DPI - eSport Performance Motherboard: MSI ProSeries AMD Ryzen B350 DDR4 VR Ready HDMI USB 3 micro-ATX Motherboard (B350M PRO-VDH) Power supply: EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W Power Supply, 3 Year Warranty, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester 100-B1-0500-KR RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory 1.5V Graphics Card: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Mini 3GB GDDR5 VR Ready Super Compact Gaming Graphics Card (ZT-P10610A-10L) CPU Cabinet: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 Mid Tower Gaming Case Hard disk: Seagate 1TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive (ST1000DM010) Optical Drive: SAMSUNG TSST Ultra-Slim Optical 8X DVD Rewriter Drives SE-218GN/RSBD, M-Disc support, MAC OS X compatible Speakers: Logitech Speaker System Z523 with Subwoofer The above selection has been made following the criteria of $900 of the client. To make a gaming system there needs to be enough RAM (4GB) with the addition of a graphics card (3GB). The hard disk (1TB) will be enough to store games, movies and songs on the system. An optical drive has also been provided for installation of games. The motherboard has been chosen of the micro ATX standard which is the latest in the market. To power up the system I have selected a 500W supply. Peripherals like monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers has been provided based on gaming standards. The best quality of the products has been chosen in order to make the system compatible with the desired operating system of Windows 10. All types of softwares, video games, and music can be played with the system. The speakers are enough to provide the best experience in terms of music listening, movie watching and game playing. The requirements of the client has been met by me. The products has been chosen with care and to follow the criteria put forward by the client References Shaw, David E., et al.
