Recognising hardware by Chris4 on 02-15-2006 at 12:32 PM
I just had my work experience interview with a company called DBS Computers. They fix computers and also have an internet cafe in their shop.
The guy who runs it, David, gave me a little test. He showed me a piece of hardware and asked me what it was. I saw the "ATI" on it and said a "graphics card" (below). I was correct.

That was just luck because I know a little bit about graphics cards. He then showed me something else and I didn't know what it was. It was a SCSI card (below) which I've never herd of.

I'm only 14 but what I want to do is impress him so if he shows me something else, I will get it right, like a sound card or something!
What I'm asking is if someone could post pictures of different hardware and a little bit of information about it. Or just anything that will help me!!
Thanks alot!

have you tried searching through known companies that make hardware online for pictures?

Anyway, the first graph card was pretty crappy, this is a better image (and a batter card).
