What three inventions by Benjamin Franklin that are still used today?
the bifocal spectacles, lower compartments on ships keeping water out, and the odometer are used today.
Who invented first motherboard?
IBM, in 1981. There was no specific invention or inventor of a first motherboard. The concept of a motherboard evolved over a number of years responding to the reduction in electronic component size. One of the original concepts in computer construction was the backplane. The backplane allowed for circuit card to be plugged in on one side. Its back had rows of pins corresponding to the socket connections. The pin connections defined how the attached circuit cards functioned and pins were connected to other pins with wires wrapped around them. As technology matured, electronic parts were combined into Integrated circuit (IC) chips which were mounted on the backplane itself and the pins and wiring on the rear of the backplane were replaced by printed circuits. This eventually became what we call a motherboard, mainboard or some equivalent name. Original microcomputers and personal computers had a central processor (CPU), memory, and control circuitry on the motherboard. That took up all the available space. Most other parts required their own support circuitry that would not fit on the motherboard so they were placed on individual circuit cards plugged into the motherboard. This included additional memory, output display, hard drives controllers, and even standard input/output ports such as serial (RS232,) Printer(parallel), mouse and game ports. Most of these eventually became compact enough to be integrated onto the motherboard board we use today.
What are three Chinese inventions that still exist today?
Three Chinese inventions that still exist today are gunpowder, which is still used in firearms and fireworks; the magnetic compass, which is still used for navigation; and paper, which is still widely used for writing and printing.
What jobs today does the wheel and axle do?
Wheels and axles are used in innumerable ways in the modern world. Life wouldn't be the same without them. They are used in everything from doorknobs, to screwdrivers, to anything with an engine (car, boat, etc), or any machine with gears. Land transportation ranging from cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, buses, and most trains use wheels.
How good was the performance on the old computers?
The average home computer was moderately fast but the parts inside were fairly large and there were cables and stuff everywhere inside making it harder for the motherboard to receive and send data to different components in the computer. The Eniac was a computer monster used in WWII couldn't do much but it was a jump in the technology that helped us get to where we are today.
What are four types of buses that might be on a motherboard today?
It can have several buses, including the system bus, the PCI Express bus, the PCI bus, the AGP bus, and the outdated ISA bus.
Information travels between components on the motherboard through what?
Information travels between components on the mother board through the bus.
Are London buses running today?
yes, but mostly new buses instead of the old ones are running today
What 4 types of buses are likely to be on a motherboard today?
Address Bus - Transmits memory addresses between the CPU and RAM.Data Bus - The bus that transfers data between CPU and RAM. Expansion Bus - The bus to which add-on adapter cards are connected in order to enhance the functionality on the PC. Video - The bus that transmits display information between the CPU and video circuitry.
How do you travel today?
by cars, buses, planes, and trains.
What is the transportation today?
cars,trucks,buses and walking
What is the function of expansion bus?
Expansion buses basically enable you to install additional hardware in your system unit and PC. The most common type of expansion buses today is PCI and PCIe, and AGP. You can use PCI, commonly white on your motherboard,to install network interface cards, sound cards, etc.. And you can use AGP to install high end video graphics cards, and they are commonly brown on your motherboard. PCIe is another version of PCI, but allows for faster data transfers. ISA was the first type of expansion buses, and it was developed by IBM for use in their early PC. Computerguy1984
What time does the city buses stop running today?
Depends on which city you had in mind.
Four types of buses that might be on a motherboard?
The 4 types are address, data, expansion and video bus. There are three types of buses used on a motherboard: 1. data bus 2. address bus 3. control bus --- Data bus, System bus, Front side bus (FSB), and Host Bus --- The system bus, the PCI Express bus, the PCI bus, the AGP bus, and the outdated ISA bus. --- Front side bus (CPU to northbridge) Graphics Bus (Northbridge To Video Card) Memory Bus (Northbridge to Memory) Internal Bus (Northbridge to Sotuhbridge) PCI Bus (Southbridge to PCI expansion slots).
Name the buses that might be on a motherboard today?
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) PCI Express SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) ATA ( Advanced Technology Attachment - also called IDE - Integrated Drive Electronics) FireWire (IEEE 1394) USB (Universal Serial Bus)
What is the size of data path on most system buses today?
the data bus is only 8 bits wide but most buses today are much wider: 16, 32, 64, or 128 bits wide.
What memory module does new motherboards today use?
I think it depends on the motherboard.
