RAM.
A peripheral is a device that is connected to a computer. The most common peripheral device is a printer.
RAM
The way a computer communicates with a peripheral device is through a device driver. A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.
Devices you use with computers to add additional capabilities are called peripherals. There are both internal and external peripherals. Some examples include mice, printers, scanners, sound cards, television tuners, etc.
Peripherals, such as the keyboard, mouse, monitor, external hard-drive, scanner, printer, and so on, are connected to the main device - which is a computer (desktop, laptop, netbook, etc
Computer peripherals
Peripherals, such as the keyboard, mouse, monitor, external hard-drive, scanner, printer, and so on, are connected to the main device - which is a computer (desktop, laptop, netbook, etc).
All printers are peripheral. Peripheral means the device can be directly connected to the computer.
A peripheral is a device connected to a computer, but not part of it. Examples would be a printer, keyboard, etc. Software is therefore not a peripheral device, but is an essential internal utility on a par with the motherboard, processor, and so on.
Device drivers are designed specifically to manage computer peripheral devices. They serve as intermediaries between the operating system and hardware components, allowing the OS to communicate effectively with peripherals like printers, keyboards, and mice. By translating high-level commands into specific instructions that the hardware can understand, device drivers ensure that peripherals function correctly and efficiently within the system.
a device driver is software, making communication between your motherboard and your OS, probably Windows, possible.
