A computer system consists of a CPU, memory module, and I/O devices interconnected through a system bus.
The data bus transfers data, the address bus identifies memory locations, and the control bus sends control signals.
Different types of memory exist, including volatile (RAM) and non-volatile (ROM) types with unique read/write capabilities.
A collection of wires that transfers data between the CPU and other components.
A bus that carries the address from which data will be fetched or to which data will be sent.
A bus that carries commands and control signals to manage the operations of the computer.
Random Access Memory, which allows data to be read and written randomly and is volatile.
Read Only Memory, which is non-volatile and allows only reading of data stored during manufacturing.
A component that connects the CPU to input/output devices, facilitating data exchange.
