None, the transistor did not yet exist. It was built with vacuum tubes and had roughly 18,000 of them.
When a project was done to recreate ENIAC on a chip, it took about 180,000 transistors. But you have to realize that the vast majority of these transistors are not active processing transistors, but are just switches to simulate the plugging in of the program cables into different connectors on the various panels. Only one wafer of ENIAC on a chip was ever made, it needed a PC to translate a cabling diagram to internal switch settings and load the settings into the chip. The PC was a more powerful computer than ENIAC. Most of the ENIAC on a chip devices never saw use, they went to museums or computer history collectors.

What replaced vacuum tubes in the computer?
Integrated circuits (in many microprocessor integrated circuits) containing many billions of transistors each.
Why did the first computer have so many cords?
if you are talking about ENIAC, that is how it was programmed.
In the beginning how many types of computers were there?
There was one, the first computer was ENIAC, short for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer.
The world's first general-purpose electronic computer in 1946?
ENIAC, in in 1946
Did the first computer have a screen?
No. the ENIAC had a printer instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENIAC
How many transistors did the ENIAC have?
Eniac didn't have any transistors. It was built with 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, and a whole host of other components. But no transistors. The first transistor was created in November, 1947, almost two years after Eniac was completed.
ENIAC the computer at what date was it finished?
The ENIAC computer was finished in November, 1945.
What replaced vacuum tubes in the computer?
Integrated circuits (in many microprocessor integrated circuits) containing many billions of transistors each.
Why did the first computer have so many cords?

Where is the ENIAC computer now?
The ENIAC computer no longer exists as a single machine. Many of it's parts were scrapped or reused in other projects. The remaining parts are in various museums across the country.
What is full form of eniac?
ENIAC is the acronym for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer. It was the first electronic general-purpose computer.
Was ENIAC a decimal or binary computer?
decimal computer
