currently they are all made of electronic components. some used to be made of magnetic components. in the 1960s there was some work on making them of miniaturized hydraulic (fluidics) components because they would not be sensitive to radiation from nuclear bomb blasts. in the early 1940s some were mechanical. just about any technology can be used.

What component in a PC generates the most heat?

The newest CPUs and video systems generate the most heat.


What are some examples of the second generation of computer?

A computer built using Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) integrated circuits, especially a microcomputer based on a microprocesseor, or a parallel processor containing 2 to thousands of CPUs. VLSI made it routine to fabricate an entire CPU, main memory, or similar device with a single integrated circuit that can be mass produced at very low cost. This has resulted in new classes of machines such as personal computers, and high performance parallel processors that contains thousands of CPUs


How do you assemble or disassemble CPU?

In early computers that were made with vacuum tubes, transistors, or simple integrated circuit chips you could do this. However since the development of the microprocessor this has become impossible, as the CPU is entirely inside one integrated circuit chip.In modern microprocessors the CPU is actually only a tiny part of that microprocessor chip, sometimes less than 1/10th of the circuits on the chip which now typically includes: memory management, input/output devices, ADCs, DACs, etc. Also multicore microprocessors contain several independent CPUs on the one chip (as many as 16 CPUs in some chips).


What invention made it possible for computers to process information very quickly and made computers more affordable?

PowerPC (short form of Performance Optimization With Enhanced RISC-Performance Computing,sometimes abbreviated as PPC) is a RISC computer architecture created by the 1991 APPLE-IBM-MOTOROLA alliance known as AIM. ...Originally invented for personal computers.PowerPC cpus since became very popular as embedded and high performance processors and thus made computers more affordable.. hope i helped a bit :)


What electronic has the most gold?

Depends, if you have access to acids then computer boards and CPUs have the largest supply of gold but there are small amounts of plating on phones, computers, etc that can just as easily be removed with pliers.
