yes. it is used in computer
---
Actually, there is no device specifically by that name. It would be an area of memory in a computer, or even a CPU register, that is used between devices of different speeds.

How can a computer buffer get too full?
A buffer in a computer is place where information is stored whilst being moved from one electronic device, to another. Or from on process to another. A buffer can only really get too 'full' if the information coming from one place overwrites the contents of the buffer, before the destination device or process reads it. That would occur if either device were to stop responding. In a computer program a buffer over flow can occur when the memory in a position near the buffer get's too full and information get's written to the buffer by mistake, this is known a Buffer Overflow the source of many software crashes and security vulnerabilities.
Is buffer overload a computer virus?
No, a buffer overload is not a computer virus. A buffer overload is an error that occurs when a program on your computer is writing data to a buffer and exceeds the buffer's capacity. This can cause problems and will usually cause the program which caused the buffer overload to crash.
What is the most used device?
The most used input device on a computer is the keyboard.
What is a temporary storage location for data waiting to be processed store or output?
Temporary memory is held in RAM, short for Random Access Memory. This memory is not permanent and can be edited or erased easily. It is also erased in the event of a power outage, which is why you should save files to the computer hard drive frequently.Random Access MemoryRAM, or Random Access Memory is the device the computer uses to temporarily store information while the computer is running.
What device named after a rodent is used to move the cursor on a computer screen?
mouse is the device which is used to move on computer screen
What is a UART Device used for?
A UART is a device used for serial communication. They are commonly used to drive the RS232 ports on computer equipment, and used to be common in computer terminals, modems, etc. A UART includes a shift register which accepts data as bytes and produces a stream of bits, a data buffer which allows multiple bytes to be stored while awaiting their turn to be shifted out and various control and signaling logic components.
Which secondary storage device is used for microcomputer and why?
The Device we can used to store data by the Computer,it is know as Storage Device.
What is the roll of buffers?
A buffer can be a polishing device, or a computer device. In computers, buffers are used for temporary storage of data, such as for a printer, which can only store a small amount of data at a time, or for a disc drive, so that the processor can send a bunch of data to the disc, and then move on to other tasks.
What is the device use?
The most used input device on a computer is the keyboard.

What is local buffer in OS?
In computing, a buffer is a region of memory used to temporarily hold data while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a keyboard) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as a printer). However, a buffer may be used when moving data between processes within a computer. This is comparable to buffers in telecommunication. Buffers can be implemented in either hardware or software, but the vast majority of buffers are implemented in software. Buffers are typically used when there is a difference between the rate at which data is received and the rate at which it can be processed, or in the case that these rates are variable, for example in a printer spooler.Source(s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_buffer
Secondary memory define?
Memory is something that is remembered. The Power of retaining something and recalling past experience like " he had a good memory when he was younger" In computer science Memory is the device which store the data in it for processing or for display. Memory is made of lots of buffer(buffer is 1 bit circuit).
