Computers The Argos range of PCs has been chosen to offer a choice of configurations, and all come pre-loaded with a suite of software to enable you to get started right away.
Processing Speed
The speed of the computer is detennined by both the processor type and the clock speed. The clock speed is measured in megahertz (MHz), the higher the MHz, the faster the processing. ADX Processor utilises a maths eo-processor to speed up calcuJations and graphics.
Memory · ·rs JU· dged by how many Computer memory SJZe bytes of data it can hold, normally measured in megabytes (1MB=1 million bytes). Rar:-domthe ~cess Memorvutili'sed• (I(~) ThiS IS WOu u•>o memory utilised w1illSt ID operation. Infonnation held in the RAM is lost when the computer is switched off, therefore this needs to be stored on hard or floppy disks. CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory) This is a device for reading information stored on compact disk.
Hard Disk Drive
This is a permanent high capacity storage device which is located in the system unit The pre-loaded
operating systems and application software are stored on the hard disk drive.
Floooy Disks
Th~ ths"kettes enable you to introduce new programs to the PC and also to store information externally from the computer. The amount of information that can be stored depends on the size and density of the diskettes. The PCs available from Argos are all fitted with 3.5" floppy disk drives which operate with both double and hi de · diskettes.
Multi-Media Multi-Media uses the PC to mix still and motion video, sound, text and graphics to present information, eg an encyclopaedia, in an interactive form.
Sound Card
Asound card greatlyenhances the PC's sound capabilities.
VESA Local Bus The OpiiS range ofPCs provide expansion slots to enable the use ofVFSA (Video Electronics Standard Association) I.ocal Bus Peripheral cards. Agraphics card will enhance the speed and performance of graphics, and a Hard Disk Controller card speeds up the movement of information between the Hard Disk Drive and the processor.
