Differences between 115 volt and 120 volt?
These are different ways of measuring voltages. In the united states, people often refer to the standard household electricity as "110 volt", because that is close to the average voltage over time that the sine wave will be at. 115 is was MOST electric companies actually produce, on average, and 120 volt is the RMS measurement of that voltage. The peak voltage at the top and bottom of the sine wave will usually be close to 125 volts. For more information, please google for how AC works.

How many gigabytes in 6250 megabytes?
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes. In order to find out how many gigabytes 2250 megabytes is equal to, we must divide 2250 megabytes by 1024 megabytes ( 2250/1024 ). This way we find that 2250 megabytes = 2.197265625 gigabytes.

Why can objects heavier than water float in water?
A metal boat, on its own metal would sink but in the form of a boat-with the overall mass spread out and pockets of air making up most of the interiors- will not sink.
It isn't really a question of density it is a question of construction.
What the speed for hi speed USB?
Up to 480Mbits/second, and being increased over time with improvements.
There are 1024 gigabytes in a terabyte
And 1024 terabytes in a petabyte
So there are 10242 or 1 048 676 gigabytes in 1 petabyte.
Interesting side note: It is said that google processes 20 petabytes of data every day.
What is the purpose of a video capture card?
Since most computers cannot natively grab video from an external source, like cable, a DVD player or camcorder, a capture card gives it that capability. Once the raw footage is stored on your hard drive then you can use the video editing software to make changes to it.
Is single core processor will support multi threaded program?
Of course it will run. But it will not be making full utilization of the multi-core architecture. In that aspect, single-core processors with more processing power are sometimes better suited to run single threaded application than multi-core processors with less processing power.
What is the difference between BIOS and device driver?
In IBM PC compatible computers, the basic input/output system (BIOS), also known as the System BIOS or ROM BIOS , is a de facto standard defining a firmware interface.
When in computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.
What color or stripe down one side of a cable marks this side of the cable as pin 1?
