How Computers Work

Most people use computers but don´t have the technical understanding how they actually work. How Computers Work: Processor and Main Memory is a complete book that explains the operation of a simple, but fully functional, computer in complete detail.

The simple computer described consists mainly of a processor and main memory. Relays, which are explained, are used in the circuitry instead of transistors for simplicity. This book does not cover peripherals like modems, mice, disk drives, or monitors.

It´s aimed at beginners and does not take a look at todays modern computers like a special intel, amd or apple system but at the theoretical background that all of those computers share.
