4. INTERNAL VIEW OF THE COMPUTER • The part of the PC that you actually see is the case • It is officially called the "system unit,“ but generally called as the case.
5. • Everything is connected to the motherboard • A motherboard is a thin, flat piece of circuit board, usually of green or gold color, usually slightly larger than a piece of paper. Motherboard

24. CISC AND RISC Architecture: the architecture of the processor 5. Requires less transistors of hardware space. 5. Requires more transistors of hardware space 4. Register to Register: “ LOAD and STORE” are independent instructions 4. Memory to Memory: “LOAD” and “STORE” incorporated in instructions 3. Large code sizes but each instruction requires only one clock cycle. 3. Small code size but more clock cycles required for single instruction. 2. Single-clock reduced instruction only. e.g. LOAD A, 2:3 LOAD B, 5:2 PROD A, B STORE 2:3, A 2. Includes multi-clock complex instructions. e.g. MULT 2:3, 5:2 1. Reduced Instruction Set Computer 1.
