Not much time left..

Deadlines are here! Today was our last day to finish typing out our project and finishing the poster. We have business tomorrow, which means we are going to start presenting.
I have learned so much from this project and a lot about the computer part I had to research about. I learned the main function of a graphics/video card. A graphics card displays images on a screen. It turns binary data from the CPU and turns it into an image that you can see.
The four main components of a graphics card are:
-A motherboard that is used for connecting data and power.
-A processor which is used to deal with each pixel on the screen.
-A memory to store pictures.
-A monitor to display the final images.
So I put this information plus some more, and some pictures, all together and created a poster that I have to present in front of the class tomorrow to teach them a little about how graphics/video cards work.
Hopefully everyone will learn something new tomorrow!

Catch you later .
