In what two modes does a CPU operate?
A CPU operates in real mode and protected mode
Difference between kernel mode and user mode?
Kernel ModeIn Kernel mode, the executing code has complete and unrestricted access to the underlying hardware. It can execute any CPU instruction and reference any memory address. Kernel mode is generally reserved for the lowest-level, most trusted functions of the operating system. Crashes in kernel mode are catastrophic; they will halt the entire PC.User ModeIn User mode, the executing code has no ability to directly access hardware or reference memory. Code running in user mode must delegate to system APIs to access hardware or memory. Due to the protection afforded by this sort of isolation, crashes in user mode are always recoverable. Most of the code running on your computer will execute in user mode.
Your pcsx2 0.9.4 is very slow what can you do?
if you have a dual core CPU, you can enable the MTGS and dual core mode in pcsx2 CPU setting. That will drastically increase the speed :) I have 2.5GHz dual core and 8500GT gfx card; with MTGS&dual core mode, I can run final fantasy X at 45~60 frames throughout. Don't forget to close any unwanted windows and apps. Turn off some services and startup items in msconfig, end unwanted processes in task manager ;)
Why do systems not use more or large cache memory if they are so useful?
cache is more expensive and it will increase the cost of the system terribly. processing of more than one cache will complicate the design of CPU and increase the burden on CPU.
Justify the statement CPU is the brain of the computer?
The CPU is what "thinks" about everything.
Which mode involves the CPU and slower than DMA mode?
PIO
Generally which transfer mode is faster DMA or PIO?
DMA transfers data directly from the drive to memory without involving the CPU. PIO involves the CPU and is slower than DMA mode.
Why the input output devices are slower than cpu or memory devices?
because of their design
In what two modes does a CPU operate?
A CPU operates in real mode and protected mode
What is a benefit of a slower CPU?
Cooler
Can you use a larger CPU than is required by the motherboard without conflict?
You can but your CPU will probably not go as fast as it should. The motherboard has a system crystal that has a clock. The speed of the clock is called the frontside bus speed. A CPU uses a multiplier to make the CPU go faster. For instance if the frontside bus is 100MHz and the CPU has a multipier of 5, then the CPU will operate at 500MHz. So, if you use a CPU that is larger than what the motherboard requires the front side bus, which is dictated by the type of motherboard may be slower that what your CPU is supposed to see so it will run slower. Hope this helps, if you have any questoins leave it on my message board.
Cpu based symptom virus?
Blue screens, computer crashes, an d if it won't start and is it is running slower than usual
What happens when the front side bus of a motherboard is much slower than the CPU or the data transfer rate of RAM?
you get a girlfriened nerd
A bus that works asynchronously with the CPU at a slower rate is called?
A bus that works asynchronously with the CPU is -the expansion bus
What transfer mode can transmit data from a device to memory without involving the CPU?
DMA transfer mode
Is there a versus mode in ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 for the Playstation Vita?
Only Arcade mode, there is no normal VS CPU mode.
What is the function of CPU card?
The CPU runs everything, It's the brain of the whole computer. Usually, having a better/worse CPU will make your computer run faster or slower. Hope this helped!
