ASCII- binary based encoding system and Unicode- hexadecimal based encoding system are two main systems used to assign binary or hexadecimal values to letters, numbers, symbols, etc. and are referred to as:

These slots are a place to install expansion cards or boards into the computer. Examples: video cards, NIC (Network Interface Cards), RAID, SCSI, or Fiber channel cards (to plug in high speed hard drives).

The unit used to measure memory and storage on a computer. It can be broken down into bits (binary digit). A bit is a single 0 or 1 in binary. 1 byte is a character like an A.

Without this your computer will not operate. It will just beep loudly for the next 216 years or until you turn it off. It is a temporary data storage area. The CPU uses it for fast access to data.

Usually part of the ROM chip, Contains all of the code to control the startup processes of the computer, Often checks all of the components on the system when a computer is turned onr,
