We learned about the sound card, modem and video card in this class.
A modem stands for modulate and demodulator. There are two types of modem. One of them is the one that can be attached externally, and the other one comes in an expansion board. You can attach the external one through a port. Bascally it is the device that is used to let the computer transfer data through a cable or through a telephone line. The information that get's transferred through is in the form of analogue waves, while the one that is stored in the computer is digital. The modem converts this from one form to another. As for the one that comes in an expansion board, you can attach on a vacant expansion slot which comes with the motherboard.
A video card is what allows the computer to show the visual graphics that you see. If you only use your computer forhomework or e-mail, you don't really need an expensive video card. It's also an expansion card that you have to plug into your motherboard.
Most sound cards are automatically built in when you buy your computer. A sound card is very important since it is what ables the computers to input sound (such as a microphone), output sound (like speakers), and control sound stored in a disc. It's also an expansion card, so you can attach them through one of the unoccupied expansion slots on the motherboard.
A PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect , which is one of those slots on the motherboard. beside the normal slots, it just started coming out around 2004, . It was desgined to replace PCI bus.
Well that's all I can say for that class. My gosh so much information. Oh well.
