Computer Hardware

Usually Windows Update will find the updates for your laptop. To find these, do a custom install on the updates and click on optional hardware and software on the left side. Most of your devices should be listed for install. An alternate way to find your drivers is to use a free program called RadarSync. It will automatically find and download everything you need. If all else fails, simply go to the manufacturer's website of each piece of hardware.

Microsoft makes computer software, not computer hardware.

In Windows, use Control Panel, Language.

In OSX, use the Apple menu, System Preferences, Language & Region.

In Linux, navigate to etc/default/locale and change the LANG variable. E.g.,: LANG="en_us.utf8".

A USB wireless network adapter is a device that allows you to connect to a wireless network as is connected to a computer via a USB port.

No they are not, there are two types of commonly used motherboards. There are the ATX motherboards and the BTX motherboards.ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is a motherboard form factor specification developed by Intel in 1995 to improve on previous de facto standards like the ATX form factor. It was the first major change in desktop computer enclosure, motherboard , and power supply design in many years, improving standardization and interchangeability of parts. The specification defines the key mechanical dimensions, mounting point, I/O panel, power and connector interfaces between a computer case , a motherboard, and a power supply. The acronym BTX stands for Balanced Technology Extended, and includes various important enhancements to cases and hardware components among its specifications. The primary drivers behind the development of BTX include more efficient PC cooling (or better cooling performance, if you like) but also quietest possible operation.

Visually, the biggest change that BTX entails involves a shuffling of motherboard components that's a mirror image of typical ATX arrangements. Expansion slots and the I/O panel change places. Among other things, this has the intentional effect of putting PCI Express graphics cards in the path of the CPU fan's air stream.

Emergency Repair Disk (ERD), which contains information about your current installation. Use only as a last resort because it restores the system back to the original state after initial instalation of OS.

Greater processor speed is a benefit for consumers as they get to have computers that perform better. It may however be a boon for builders as fast CPUs are expensive, making computers expensive to assemble.

The latest trend in the processor technology is i3,i5,and i7 processors.these smart processors adapt to an individual's needs, automatically providing a 'boost' of performance for everyday applications. They become energy efficient to the point of shutting down processing cores or reducing power consumption to provide performance when people need it, and energy efficient when they don't."

1. right click my computer then properties

2. go to hardware then device manager

3. under usb controllers, right click usb root hub, on power management hub, uncheck the first option you see

i think this will help..

DQS = data strobe. When data is read from DRAM using the DQ pins, DQS is asserted so that memory controller can use that to read data. When memory controller writes to DRAM, it asserts DQS when DQ pins have the data to be written.

printer, speaker, monitor,

There are a few different types of image scanners, most modern ones use a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a contact image sensor(CIS) as the image sensor. In a flatbed scanner this sensor is mounted on an aparatus which moves the sensor across the page to scan the entire image. In a hand-held scanner the sensor is mounted in a drum which the user rolls across the page to scan the image.

CPU , memory, hard disk, display, and mainboard.

The above is partially correct. The question is actually 40+ years old and was asked of me in an engineering class back in 1968. Back then it was 'What are the 5 parts of a computer.'

Technically, a computer does NOT need storage, aka a hard drive or a floppy etc to be a computer. It also doesn't need a display.

It needs:

* CPU (for processing commands)

* Input (from a keyboard, or a floppy, a hard drive etc to input both commands and data)

* Output ( to a monitor, a printer, magnetic tape, paper tape, punch cards etc)

* Memory ( the place an actual program and or data that the CPU uses MUST reside)

*The 5th item alluded to is the Arithmetic Processor.

The CPU processes the commands while the Arithmetic Processor manipulates the data to add, subtract, multiply and divide. In today's computers (post-1985) the CPU and the Arithmetic Processor are on the same chip. Previously, for those who remember the Z80 and the 8080 processors, for more "computing power" you could install an Arithmetic Processor to upgrade the PC and give the built-in arithmetic processor more capability.

If you're wondering what the main parts of a computer are, they're the keyboard, hard drive, monitor, printer, and mouse.

the main part of a computer system is called central processing unit or also known as CPU

There are many types of peripheral devices, but an example of three would be a printer, scanner,and web cam.

Because, a computer can only understand binary numbers(0s and 1s). Actually, they are represented internally as voltage levels, a positive voltage level to represent 1 and a 0V to represent 0, generally represented as ON and OFF. The voltage levels are dependent on the implementation so even a -5 can be interpretted by the computer as a 0 and +5 as 1,etc.

True

Ghz is an abbreviation of giga-hertz. Hertz refers to vibrations per second. 1hz is 1 vibration per second. Giga means 1,000,000,000, therefore 1ghz is 1,000,000,000 vibrations per second.

Anyway, the best answer is, essentially, there were a bunch of nerds and computer programmers who designed two totally different keyboard designs. While it doesn't say this, my guess would be one of them had the cent sign on it, while the other (the ancestor of the modern keyboard design) didn't. Since at the time the Army and military were the only people who used computers for the most part (this was while Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were probably still in 4th grade, maybe they weren't even born yet), they made the final decision: They picked the keyboard without the cent sign. There are ways to get it to show up. Since I'm on a Windows, I don't know how to do it on a Mac. There are codes for the ALT key, the key near the control key that seems totally useless. Just type "alt codes" into Google and you'll find some.

Usually you should use an alcoholic wipe (try your first aid kit), but a baby/wet wipe and kitchen role to dry would work.

they always get better and newer evry year

The beauty of SCSI is that supports many physical interfaces. Fibre channel SCSI uses 4 "pins" which can be copper, or fibre optic cabling. Parallel scsi which you are probably asking about can use 25, 50 or 68 pins. So you should rephrase your question to specify the interface you are asking about ... but I guess that would liook kinda dumb, ... "How many pins does a 50-pin SCSI interface have" :)
