I suppose I could come up with a multitude of inquiries about our lecture on computer hardware and software, mostly because it is almost too complex to imagine how it all works together so well. We all have some sort of familiarity with these parts, although I don’t think many people, apart from those who specialize in the subject area, are totally sure what is their exact role.
One question in particular that came up during the lecture was whether the memory cache on the motherboard has the same purpose of the cache that is used for web pages. During college we talked somewhat about the cache function, but I was curious about the differences and similarities between the two.
Another question I had was whether we could get an example of the type of computer that a typical consumer would purchase today, in terms of the CPU, OS, RAM, etc.
