Line 1:

'''Open architecture''' is a type of [[computer architecture]] that allows users to upgrade their hardware in all of the computer hardware & components (for example the [[IBM PC]] has an open architecture). This is the opposite of a [['''closed architecture]]''', where the hardware manufacturer chooses the components, and they are not generally upgradable (for example the [[A500|AMIGA-500]] home computer had a closed architecture).
