What is ROM?
Memory is the system of component of the computer in which information is stored. There are two types of computer memory: RAM and ROM.
RAM (random access memory) is the volatile computer memory, used for creating, loading, and running programs and for manipulating and temporarily storing data;
ROM (read only memory) is nonvolatile, nonmodifiable computer memory, used to hold programmed instructions to the system.
The more memory you have in your computer, the more operations you can perform.

CPUs contain a special set of memory cells called registers that can be read and written much more rapidly than the main memory area. There are typically between two and one hundred registers depending on the type of CPU. Registers are used for the most frequently needed data items to avoid having to access the main memory every time data is needed. As data is constantly being worked on, reducing the need to access main memory (which is often slow compared to ALU and control units) it greatly increases the computer speed.

A visual display unit is a piece of electrical equipment, usually separate from the computer case, which displays viewable images generated by a computer without producing a permanent record. The word “monitor” is used in other contexts; in particular in television broadcasting, where a television picture is displayed to a high standard. A computer display device is usually either a cathode ray tube or some forms of flat panel such as TFT LCD.

In computers, the keyboard is an arrangement of buttons that each corresponds to a function, a letter or a number. They are the primary devices of inputting text. In most cases, the keyboards contain an array of keys specifically organized with the corresponding letters, numbers, and functions printed or engraved on the button. They are generally designed around an operator’s language, and many different versions for different languages exist. In English, the most common layout is the QWERTY layout, which was originally used in typewriters.

A mouse is a small, slidable device that users hold and slide around to point at, click, and sometimes drag objects on the screen in a graphical user interface using a pointer on the screen. Almost all personal computers have a mouse. A mouse can be plugged into a computer rear mouse socket, or as USB (device), or, more recently, may be connected wirelessly via USB antenna or Bluetooth antenna.

Prior to the wide spread of PCs the computer that could fit on a desk was considered remarkably small. Today the phrase usually indicates a particular style of the computer case. Desktop computers come in a variety of styles ranging from large vertical tower cases to small form factor models that can be tucked behind LCD monitor. In this sense, the term “desktop” refers specifically to a horizontally-oriented case, usually intended to have the display screen placed on top to save space on the desk top. Most modern desktop computers have separate screens and keyboards.
