Types of Computers: PCs
The world was introduced to Personal Computers (PCs) by IBM in 1981. Since that time, they have spread into homes, schools and offices in ever-increasing numbers. Their power and capabilities have increased, as well. As progress marches on, software programs have been released that demand higher and higher performance from the computer system. After a few years, the computer that was once cutting-edge may not be able to "cut the mustard"!
However: PCs are composed of a collection of electronic components (parts). PCs are made to industry standards. Many of these components can be removed and replaced with newer and more powerful items. So... if a part is broken or outdated, PCs can be fixed and upgraded! Note: You may find more information about the different components that make up a PC on Mick's System page.	Gateway's Site Continue Learning...
