You see the pinky-fingernail silicon chip at the center with the tiny transistor details etched onto it. Now looking from the side, the heatsink and the RAM memory card can be seen more clearly, sticking up from the motherboard. RAM is built with a few chips packaged together onto a little card known as a DIMM that plugs into the motherboard (dual inline memory module). Here we see the RAM DIMM removed from its motherboard socket. This is a 512MB DIMM built with 4 chips. A few years earlier, this DIMM might have required 8 chips in order to store 512MB .. Moore's law in action. This is a hard drive that connects to the motherboard with the visible standard SATA connector. This is a 160GB, "3.5 inch" drive referring to the diameter of the spinning disk inside; the whole drive is about the size of small paperback book. This is a standard disk size to use inside a desktop computer. Laptop computers use 2.5 inch drives, which are a bit smaller. This is a USB flash drive that, like a hard drive, provides persistent byte storage. This is also known as a "thumb drive" or "USB key". Here it is taken apart, showing the flash chip that actually stores the bytes. This chip can store about 1 billion bits .. Here is a "SD Card" which provides storage in a camera. It's very similar to the USB flash drive, just a different shape.
Usually these are acquired in a regular pattern (e.g., one slice every millimeter) and usually have a regular number of image pixels in a regular pattern. This is an example of a regular volumetric grid, with each volume element, or voxel represented by a single value that is obtained by sampling the immediate area surrounding the voxel. 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical, wireframe representation of any three-dimensional object, called a "3D model", via specialized software. Models may be created automatically or manually; the manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. 3D models may be created using multiple approaches: use of NURBs to generate accurate and smooth surface patches, polygonal mesh modeling (manipulation of faceted geometry), or polygonal mesh subdivision (advanced tessellation of polygons, resulting in smooth surfaces similar to NURB models). A 3D model can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering, used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena, or animated directly for other purposes.
Hammerhead has a nifty Chrome web browser extension that lets you quickly import routes from sites like Strava, Garmin Connect, Ride With GPS, and others. How Much Navigation Do You Need? All these computers display and record basic ride data. While most of these units can offer simple turn guidance (“Turn left in 100 feet”), full-featured navigation-detailed turn-by-turn directions, maps, street names, points of interest, elevation data, an address database-that can be accessed on the device is only found in the highest-end computers. For your average rides near home, you probably won’t use these features-it’s only if you plan on going on adventures in far away, and unfamiliar areas, that they become valuable. So, before you drop $600 on a full-featured navigation unit like the Garmin Edge 1030, consider how much you need, or whether you will actually use, that functionality. A claimed battery life is listed for every model.

Check your CPU temp, make sure that’s operating somewhere around 30-40 degrees C, and ensure that your boot drive is registering correctly. If everything is showing up, now is also a good time to enable the XMP for Intel or DOCP for AMD to make sure your memory is operating at the correct frequency. Then hit F10, save and exit. Now that we’re sure the machine is working, disconnect it again and bring it back to your workspace. It’s worth doing this because you’ll want to reattach all those PC case panels and tidy up any loose cables. That means using cable ties to bunch together cables as much as you can. Most PC cases come with cable cut-outs to use as tie down points. Where there aren’t any, we usually use thicker cables to help push smaller ones flush against the inside of our computer chassis. Bring the system back to your computer space, where it’ll sit forever - or at least until your next upgrade - as we’ll want to install the operating system next.
A hard drive or solid state drive stores a PC's operating system and software, which we'll look at more closely later. This category also includes optical drives such as those used for reading and writing CD, DVD and Blu-ray media. A drive connects to the motherboard based on the type of drive controller technology it uses, including the older IDE standard and the newer SATA standard. Cooling devices -- The more your computer processes, the more heat it generates. The CPU and other components can handle a certain amount of heat. However, if a PC isn't cooled properly, it can overheat, causing costly damage to its components and circuitry. Fans are the most common device used to cool a PC. In addition, the CPU is covered by a metallic block called a heat sink, which draws heat away from the CPU. Some serious computer users, such as gamers, sometimes have more expensive heat management solutions, like a water-cooled system, designed to deal with more intense cooling demands.
