No. Physical parts of a computer are called Hardware.They are hard and you can touch them.
There are a lot of things that are called software though, like word processing, bugeting, presentation, photo editing, 3D rendering, and animation programes. Even Video Games are software.
Software is instructions for the computer, held as a binary code within the machine. You cannot see it or touch it, you only see it's effects. This is why it is called 'soft'. It forms an important part of a computer because it cannot function without it and is 'wares' in as much as you can buy, sell and trade it, as if it were physical.

The physical devices that a computer is made of are referred to as?
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.
What do we mean by hardware computer?
Computer hardware is the physical parts of the computer. This is in contrast to software, which is the non physical programs that the hardware runs.
Is McAfee virus protection a computer hardware?
No, McAfee virus protection is not hardware. Instead, it is a software program. Hardware is the physical parts of a computer, but software is computer code. So an antivirus program is software, not hardware.
The physical parts of the computer that store and process data are called?
Hardware
What are the physical components of a computer called?
The physical components of a computer are called "hardware". In relation, the non-physical parts of a computer are called "software". It can be thought of in a way that "hard" means it is tangible (you can touch it), while "soft" means it is intangible (you cannot touch it). This can be a good way for some people to remember the difference and meanings to both terms.

Hardware. Hardware(Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, etc.) are the physical components, software are the applications that run on the computer (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.)
Is there a software that can be substituted for a ram?
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.

What is software basic?
System software that is responsible for the functioning of all hardware parts and their interoperability to carry out tasks successfully is called an operating system (OS). OS is the first software to be loaded into computer memory when the computer is switched on and this is called booting.
