Are there features missing that we need? Is a Core 2 Duo processor the best CPU for us? Perhaps we are paying too much for the performance that we need. Or maybe we need more. And what does ‘‘Core 2 Duo’’ mean, anyway? What I/O ports might you need to assure a satisfy long-term investment of computers for your organization? Is a 16× DVD ±RW drive adequate for your work? What if you have to burn a lot of disks? What other information about this system would allow you to make a more informed decision?
So let’s get started! 1 THE STARTING POINT Before we begin our detailed study of the architecture of computer systems, let us briefly review some of the fundamental principles and requirements that guide computer system design and operation. In a simple scenario, you use your laptop or desktop personal computer to word process a document. You probably use a mouse to move around the document and to control the features of the word processor software application, and you use the keyboard to enter and modify the document text data.
