yes
There are 2 physical components of a computer. Software and Hardware. For great example of each go to: http://www.slideshare.net/Amitchandra.5681/components-of-computer-2-presentation
Software is system code on a computer. Most software comes in the forms of programs that you can download or buy and install. Hardware, however, is the physical components of a computer system.
A physical firewall, router, modem. (if this is for a class then you might have to argue this point, a physical firewall is a piece of equipment but it is still software that does everything.) A lock on the computer case.
RAM is a physical component of a computer it is entirely unrelated to 'software'. Software can not be substituted for RAM. Note: 'Hardware' describes all components that are physical, in other words 'computer parts'. 'Software' describes the programs and applications that run on computers. None can be substituted for the other.
No the physical components are the hardware. Software is the operating system (Windows, Linux) and appications such as Microsoft office. Think of the hardware as a tape deck, and software as the cassette ;)
Software refers to the programs and applications that run on a computer, while hardware refers to the physical components of a computer, such as the processor, memory, and storage devices. In simple terms, software is what you can't touch but interact with on a computer, while hardware is the physical parts that you can touch and see.
Computer has two major components namely: Computer Hardware and Computer Software
A computer virus is a malicious program, so I am going to say that it is software.Hardware is the physical components of the computer, in other words, the parts that you can kick.
The physical parts of a computer are all called hardware. That is opposed to ideas and invisible code called software that are encoded on a physical medium. Even a diskette or CD is technically considered hardware, while the data which is stored on it is software.
No, it is known as Software. Hardware is the physical components that make up the actual computer.
Software refers to the programs and instructions that tell a computer what to do, while hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system, such as the processor, memory, and storage devices. In simple terms, software is the brain of the computer, while hardware is the body.
My Computer->System Properties will only tell you the components that the operating system has device drivers for. On the other hand, a physical inspection might reveal more components, but they would only operate correctly if the device drivers are installed in the software.
