Control Unit (CU): The control unit is the circuitry that controls the flow of information through the processor, and coordinates the activities of the other units within it. In a way, it is the "brain within the brain", as it controls what happens inside the processor, which in turn controls the rest of the PC.
Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU): The ALU is a part of the CPU that can carry out arithmetic operations - addition and subtraction and, depending on the processor, multiplication and division, logic operations - AND, OR, NOT, XOR and bit-shift operations - shift bits in a word either left or right. (This corresponds to multiplying or dividing by 2.)
Decoder: The decoder is a logic circuit that exists to take the binary representation of an instruction and initiate the execution of the appropriate instruction. It usually exists as part of the control unit.
Registers: Registers are small pieces of memory located inside the CPU. They can be thought of as the hardware version of a variable in software
none
No motherboard has one slot of RAM
On Intel CPUs which support IA-32 , the best is Protected Mode. But as for Intel CPUs supporting IA-32e ,the best is 64-bit Mode.
More than 64. hope that helps. =]
No, the motherboard will only support the i3, i5, and i7 CPUs.
Yes most technology have cpus.
Unfortunately, there's not a simple answer to this. The Linux kernel can be compiled to support any number of CPUs. According to some distribution-specific support documents I found in researching this answer, the number ranges from 1-4, 64, 1024, and 'unlimited' in the case of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. When the Kernel is compiled, there is a configuration directive passed to the compiler ('NR_CPUS') that determines the maximum number of CPUs supported. My suggestion is to research your specific distribution and see what the developers compiled the kernel to support. It should be readily available on their documentation (I was able to find this easily for many common distributions).
CPUs are designed especially for Laptops. They will shut off portions of themselves when not in use.
According to Microsoft (source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888732), both 32 and 64-bit editions of Windows XP support up to 2 physical processors.
some factors that you need to consider.first the purpose you need that cpu.the cpus clock,the cpus fsb,the cpus socket to be compatible with your motherboard and the cpus l2 cache
In the BIOS settings, there will be an option to "enable HyperThreading". To get to the BIOS on your system, you will usually need to hit F1, F2, or Del right after you turn it on. The location to enable HyperThreading varies quite a bit, but will usually be under a menu labeled either "Advanced Settings" or "CPU Options" or something similar. Note, your CPU must support HyperThreading to be able to see this option. AMD CPUs do NOT support HyperThreading. Additionally, only select High-end or Server CPUs from Intel will support it (Core i7 and i9, or Xeon CPUs only).
Windows XP supports multiple CPUs out of the box. No further adjustment is needed.
