Swapping Parts?

I am going to straddle the line between talking in techno-babble and talking in a language you can understand, so here goes. Here is a very simple list of some of the components in your computer, most you will be able to recognize and relate to:

Outside the computer:

  Computer Monitor: That big thing you stare at 10 hours a day.

  Printer: You should know what this is.

Inside the computer:

  The Hard Drive: This is a device that all your data and programs are stored.

  Memory: When you click on a icon on the computer screen, the program is read from the hard drive into memory so it will run faster.

  CD/ROM Drive(s): This is the device you put your CD's into.

  Network Card: This is where you plug the cable into to get to your high-speed internet or to connect to a network.

  Modem: This is where you plug the phone cable into to get to your dial-up internet connection.

  Mother Board: We won't discuss this only to say that the "brains" of the computer is located here.

OK, so why do I mention these? The various parts in a computer can be interchanged, they can be moved from one computer to another, for the most part. Say for instance you are buying a new computer but your old computer already has a CD/ROM drive that can burn CD's and your new one doesn't. You can simply take the CD/ROM drive out of the old computer and put in the new one and it will work.

Say for instance your office has 3 or 4 computers and the computer in back has no need to burn CD's but the computer in front does. It doesn't make any difference that they are different brands, one drive can be moved to the other.

Another example of this is if your computer runs out of space or is running low of space on it's hard drive. Another hard drive can be purchased and simply added to your computer, giving you more space.

One common problems is they need a faster computer. Well rather than having the computer replaced, many times you can nearly double the speed of the computer by adding more memory. Memory is just a chip you purchase (anywhere from $20 - $100), that is installed inside your computer.
