What was the word length of Intel's 8088 microprocessor which powered the original IBM pc?
The Intel 8088 is generally considered to be a 16-bit processor (most registers were 16 bit registers), and therefore had a 16-bit word length, although its external data bus was only 8 bits wide.
What two ports are most often used to connect an external modem to a PC?
Serial and USB ports are most often used to connect an external modem to a PC.
What is the main function of PC power supplies boxes?
The PC power supply box's function is to supply the computer with power. Without the PC power supply box, the computer would not be able to turn on and off.
Meaning of upload in computer language?
Upload is transfer of data(information),where data is sent from local system(e.g. home PC) to some remote system(server,other PC etc).
What is a client PC?
what is the fuction of a client Pc The client is a function in a Client/Server on a network. you can be a Client in school or work or at home..
What device enables a PC to retrieve a specific row of data from system memory and place it on the external data bus?
Memory Controller Chip
Can you view data stored on an external hard drive on another PC?
Yes
If a computer fails in a bus topology it doesn't affect data transfer on the rest of the network?
No, within a bus topology, the client PC's are indepentent of each other. So if PC 1 fails, PC 2 will still be connected to the server. But, PC 2 won't be able to get data/information from PC 1.
What is a hard drive function?
A Hard drive in a PC is used to store Operating System and software data so the PC will function.
How many bits in 8088?
The Intel 8088 microprocessor was a variant of the Intel 8086 and was introduced on July 1, 1979. It had an 8-bit external data bus instead of the 16-bit bus of the 8086. The 16-bit registers and the one megabyte address range were unchanged, however. The original IBM PC was based on the 8088.
What can one do to prevent data loss on a PC?
Actually there are several options and strategies in order to prevent data loss on a PC. One could for example store the personal / important data on a RAID 1 storage medium which actually mirrors the data. Another option would be to do regular backup stored on an external device of the most important data.
Why 8086 was not use IBM PC?
Because IBM wanted to build a computer with an 8-bit data bus. The 8086 and 8088 are the same processor, with the 8086 running on a 16-bit data bus, and the 8088 running on an 8-bit data bus. This allowed IBM to make the most use of older designs that supported 8-bit data buses, such as the 8080, the 8085, and the Z80.
What is the function of cables in PC?
Cables carry the electrical signals necessary to transfer data from one system to another.
Is a port also known as a peripheral device?
NO. A computer port is a hardware or virtual device (software) that allows data to pass from one area to another of the PC's hardware and/or software environment. The Periphial device is usually a hardware device the needs to interface with the appropriate port in order to send, receive or interact with the PC and other devices attached to the PC. An example would be somthime like a USB (universal serial bus) external hardive attached to a USB port in order to read and write data.

How do you use an external hard drive with two computers Each computer shall be used at separate times?
with external drives, they use USB interfaces. Basically this means, you can swap them from PC to PC, simply by plugging, and unplugging it. (once data has been saved to the drive, and you know it isn't spinning)
