Microprocessors

False

Via the address/data/control busses.

There are several types of storage inside a CPU.

First, there is one or more areas of cache memory. That is special static memory which is made to be fast. That is to reduce accesses to the main memory and store the most commonly used instructions.

Then older CPUs had an area known as a prefetch queue. It functions much like a cache, but is much smaller.

Finally, there are CPU registers. The registers are small areas of memory used for executing instructions and storing the results. If you wish to add two numbers, for instance, your code must copy them to the registers and then perform the addition instruction on the registers. Then the code would collect the result from the registers.

Most newer automobiles (cars and trucks) utilize a microprocessor that controls many engine functions. Such as fuel pressure/volume, ignition timing, and emissions control systems. It is sometimes called the Electronic Engine Control system (EEC). There are after market processors that can boost horsepower in some applications, these are sometimes referred to as "the chip". Others can be reprogrammed by using a serial port connection to another computer and a special program. Then like everything else some cars also use microprocessors to control the air conditioning, radio, ride stabilisation anti-lock brakes, anti-theft devices, and even the door, headlight, and key chimes.

Depends on what you want to do with it. the grahics card is integrated so its not going to cope with high end gaming but that is essetially the system I'm running and I'm pretty happy with it for everything I want to do. Games a year or two old run fine.

Depending on the age of the Xeons in question, they fit into a variety of slots and sockets. The first Xeons were used in a slot cartridge known as Slot 2. Any motherboard with a Slot 2 connector supports these Xeons (though due to increasing FSB speeds, they migh not operate at full speeds).

The next Xeons were in a Socket 603 package. Any motherboard with a Socket 603 socket supports these Xeons (and all run at the same FSB speed).

The next Xeons were in a Socket 604 package. Any motherboard with a Socket 604 socket supports these Xeons (and older Socket 603 Xeons). Due to increasing FSB speeds, the faster ones may not run at full speed on older boards).

The newest Xeons are in a Socket J / LGA771 package. Any motherboard with a Socket J / LGA771 interface supports Xeons, though chipset and FSB differences may prevent newer ones from operating correctly on older boards.

The term Fan Out is a measure of how many loads a pin can drive. This is usually normalized to the load of a standard TTL input, which is considered to be a Fan In of 1. This is a digital logic term, not necessarily just a microprocessor term.

Fan In and Fan Out are important, because you do not want to exceed the rated load placed on a pin without providing extra buffering.

Confirm that the BIOS firmware support the dual core CPU

CMOS is a type of material, not a specific type of processor. That is short for Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon. CMOS devices tend to use less power and tend to be faster than their older counterparts. So a CMOS processor is a processor made using the CMOS material. For instance the V20 chip is a 3rd party CMOS variation of Intel's 8088 CPU. The V20 is 10-20% faster and uses less power than the 8088.

All major laptop manufacturers incorporate 64 bit chips into their newer computers, any laptop with an Athlon 64, Turion 64, or Intel Core or Core 2 series processors are 64 bit.

The Core 2 Duo, by a long shot.

Most do not, but some do. For example a Northbridge has processor functions but is not a CPU, whereas a video card's GPU is a CPU- for the video card. Hence the name GPU: Graphical processing Unit

Typically only the CPU itself, videocards, and in some cases Storage Controllers, network cards, and some soundcards have a CPU. This is not always the case.

Videocards almost always have their own GPU

1.The excluding interrupts are INT0 & INT1

2.The Timer0 and Timer1 are interrupts are generated by TF0 and TF1

Cache misses move up the chain (or down the chain, if you want to think of it that way). If the information required is not in your L1 cache, then it checks for it in the L2 cache. If it isn't there either, then you need to go out and grab it from main memory.

Hard drives are really good protected, you can damage if you are shaking a hard drive extrimely hard. The travel hard drive series made using special technologies and it's not that easy to damage them. It's unlikey that your hard drive was damaged by airport security machines. You could break if you have dropped it.

pipelining

Packets per second - In networking, the amount of packets a device can process per second. Packets per second (pps) is a measure of throughput for network devices such as bridges, routers, and switches. It's a reliable measurement only if all packet sizes are the same. Vendors will often rate their equipment based on pps, but make sure comparisons are made using the same packet sizes.

the data bus is only 8 bits wide but most buses today are much wider: 16, 32, 64, or 128 bits wide.

85 is a 8 bit processor,number of flags are 5 and memory capacity is 64KB while 86 is a 16 bit processor ,number of flags are 9 and memory capacity is 1 MB.The main difference between 8085 and 8086 is that 8086 uses pipelining.

The CPU, obviously.

It is like your computers brain or like a traffic officer helps process instruction through out the computer telling almost everything what to do. The CPU is locate inside the computer it is a small square. When you open your computer the first time you will see cables and kind of big circuit board known as the mother board and on the motherboard there is a fan aiming down on it that is where the CPU is located usually on one side of the motherboard.

All of them, but different buses carry different information.

They are physically compatible, just reversed in alternate directions. They are electronically totally different, however, and a processor designed for Slot 1 cannot be used in Slot A, and vice versa.

If a CPU makes unusual sounds, it is best to close all programs and shut off the computer.

If it is a fan problem, cleaning it with canned air may dislodge the problem.

HOWEVER, a hard drive that is going bad can also cause a bad grinding noise. The harddrive could fail. So, back up your files, but only turn on the PC until the sound begins and then quickly turn it back off, let it cool for 10-30 minutes and retry.
