 * Hard drive often shortened as hard disk
 * RAM is a form of [|computer data storage]
 * Hardware is a general term for the [|physical] [|artifacts]
 * Software such as [|word processors] which perform productive tasks for users
 * Input device is any [|peripheral] (piece of [|computer hardware] equipment) used to provide data and control signals to an information processing system (such as a [|computer]). Input and [|output devices] make up the hardware interface between a computer as a [|scanner] or [|6DOF] controller.
 * Output device is any piece of [|computer hardware] equipment used to communicate the results of [|data processing] carried out by an [|information processing system] (such as a [|computer]) to the outside world.
 * Mouse is a small [|mammal] belonging to the order of [|rodents]
 * Keyboard a set of alphanumeric and command keys used to input information to a computer
 * [|IBM PC keyboard]
 * [|Apple Keyboard]
 * [|Chorded keyboard], on which several keys are pressed together to enter a letter or command
 * Monitor an approach to synchronize two or more computer tasks that use a shared resource
 * Printer a computer peripheral that reproduces text and/or pictures on paper or other kind of printable surface
 * CPU is the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a [|computer program], and is the primary element carrying out the computer's functions.
 * Bit is the basic unit of [|information] in [|computing] and [|telecommunications]; it is the maximum amount of information that can be stored by a device or other physical system that can normally exist in only two distinct [|states]
 * Byte is a [|unit of digital information] in [|computing] and [|telecommunications]. It is an ordered collection of [|bits], in which each bit denotes the [|binary] value of 1 or 0. Historically, a byte was the number of bits used to encode a [|character] of text in a computer
 * Megabyte is an [|SI]-multiple (see prefix [|mega-]) of the unit [|byte] for digital information [|storage] or transmission and is equal to 106 ( 1 000000 ) bytes. However, due to historical usage in computer-related fields it is still often used to represent 220 (1024×1024 or 1 048576  ) bytes
 * Kilobyte the [|SI prefix] "[|kilo-]", meaning 1,000) is a unit of [|digital information storage] equal to either 1,000 [|bytes] (103) or 1,024 [|bytes] (210), depending on context
 * Gigabyte is an [|SI]-multiple of the unit [|byte] for [|digital information storage].
 * Terabyte is a [|SI]-multiple (see prefix //[|tera]//) of the unit [|byte] for digital information [|storage] and is equal to 1012 ( 1 000000000000 ) bytes or 1000 [|gigabytes]
 * Operating system is an interface between hardware and user which is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the sharing of the resources of the computer that acts as a host for [|computing applications] run on the machine
 * USB Universal Serial Bus
 * Firewire is a [|serial bus] [|interface standard] for high-speed communications and [|isochronous] real-time data transfer, frequently used by [|personal computers], as well as in [|digital audio], [|digital video], [|automotive], and [|aeronautics] applications.
 * ROM is an abbreviation and name that may refer to:

[[|edit]] In computers and mathematics

 * Data Bus is a subsystem that transfers data between computer components inside a [|computer] or between computers.
 * Modem is a [|device] that [|modulates] an analog [|carrier] [|signal] to encode [|digital] information, and also [|demodulates] such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information.
 * GUI is a type of [|user interface] item that allows people to [|interact with programs in more ways than typing] such as computers; hand-held devices such as MP3 Players, Portable Media Players or Gaming devices; household appliances and office equipment with images rather than text commands
 * Removable drive is essentially a specialized [|chassis] designed to hold and power [|disk drives] while providing a mechanism to allow them to communicate to one or more separate computers
 * MP3, is a [|patented] [|digital audio] [|encoding] format using a form of [|lossy data compression]
 * Internet is a global system of interconnected [|computer networks] that use the standard [|Internet Protocol Suite] (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide
