Computers and Processors - For iPod/iPhone http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/itunes.open.ac.uk.1542408825.01542408833 Open University Computers and Processors - For iPod/iPhone This course explores the diversity of modern computer applications and describes the fundamental components of computer systems. It covers the characteristics of the hardware components that make up computer systems, the basic instructions that are used to make microprocessors perform tasks and reviews PC operating systems, processors, and memory. By the end of the course you should be able to identify trends and explain underlying technologies; understand why different processors are suitable for different types of tasks and understand how to assess the requirements of a computer-based system in terms of processing speed, memory size, speed of data transfer, power, cost, etc. This material is taken from the Open University course T224 Computers and processors.
