System and Specs

A computer system is one that is able to take a set of inputs, process them and create a set of outputs. This is done by a combination of hardware and software. There has also been other types of computers just like: 

Analog Computer

Mainframe Computers

Mini Computers

Super Computers

Artificial Intelligence

COOL,right? These are new technologies that could help us everyday.

In addition, we also have Hardware Specs. Hardware Specs or Hardware Specifications dictate the limits and maximum capability of a hardware/device depending on a given criteria or unit of measurement. Some Common Computer Hardware Specs Criteria are: 
• Main Memory 
• CPU Clockrate and Wordsize 
• Secondary Memory 
• Video Memory   
• GPU 
• Audio Adapter 
• Wireless/LAN Adapter 
• Display Adapter 

System Requirements is the minimum hardware specs/configuration of a computer system to be able to run a particular computer software (e.g. Operating System) 

 “The hardware specifications of a computer will vary depending on what an individual user will be doing with it. A person that wants to use their computer for graphically intense games or video editing will need a totally different configuration than somebody that just wants to browse the Internet and type word documents.”
