You do not need CMOS circuits per se but that's the way many modern components are manufactured. Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) is a technology for constructing integrated circuits. CMOS technology is used inmicroprocessors, microcontrollers, static RAM, and other digital logic circuits. CMOS technology is also used for a wide variety of analog circuits such as image sensors, data converters, and highly integrated transceivers for many types of communication.

How do you reset CMOS when the computer shows CMOS error in setting?
Your motherboard a CMOS jumper, to find it you need to look through user's manual. Also in user's manual it's written what you need to do to clear CMOS memory.
What is the function of CMOS Battery Slot?
A slot on the motherboard intended to hold the CMOS battery.
Compare ttl bi-cmos cmos?
small battery located on the motherboard or computer case.
Where does the CMOS RAM receives its power when the computer is not turned on?
The CMOS is run off of a battery on the motherboard.
Ports on the motherboard can be disabled or enabled in?
CMOS setup
How does CMOS work?
CMOS is the little battery in the computer's motherboard which keeps the computers internal clock running.
List three ways that configuration information can be stored on a motherboard?
List three ways in whicn configuration information can be stored in a motherboard
A jumperless motherboard is likely to have one jumper Which jumper is it?
A bios or cmos jumper
What can cause the cmos configuration info to be lost and time and date wrong?
Dead CMOS battery, a virus or a motherboard going bad.
What is the primary purpose of the CMOS?
The CMOS is a physical part of the motherboard: it is a memory chip that houses setting configurations and is powered by the on board battery.
When do you typicallly need to change the CM-OS setup?
Typically you only need to change the CMOS for diagnostic purposes or when you change a component which is built into the motherboard. For instance, if your motherboard has onboard video or sound and you decide to put in a PCI or AGP card, then the CMOS is where you would disable the onboard functions. Another instance is when you add another hard drive and want it to be your boot drive. If both drives are set to cable select, you can override that setting in the CMOS. For the vast majority of people, CMOS is not something you should mess with unless you are in need of a very large paperweight. Hope this helps.
How do you disable the ports on the motherboard?
Most serial and parallel ports today connect directly to the motherboard, and the COM and LPT assignments are made in CMOS setup. The ports can also be enabled and disabled in CMOS settings.The short answer is CMOS Setup A+ Guide to Hardware: pg. 396
