Week 3- hardware components


A main component of running a successful business is to have a computer system that functions properly and is efficient. The different parts of the computer will be important in maintaining an effective way of both tracking and keeping records of financial aspects of the business.
            There will be more than one computer in my establishment; one in the front that acts as a cash register and one in the back that acts as the financial component .The computer’s memory is critical in my business. The amount of memory that the main computer (back) will need to have is 2 GB to 8 GB; this is because we will be running various number intensive accounting programs.   The memory that the cash register will need to have is 2 GB- we will not be using this computer as the number crunching one so it will not need to be able to hold as much information.
The Central Processing Unit is also very crucial in running a successful business because it carries out the basic instructions that operate the computer. More importantly, the arithmetic log unit within the CPU needs to be functioning at all times because this performs arithmetic comparisons that are needed to run the business.
