Computer Hardware

as far as i can tell its just for all practical purposes nothing but the price ...... there is some technical mumbo jumbo ....(see below) but unless your cable runs are reaching toward maximum....why bother???

"The maximum length of a standard USB cable is 5.0 meters (16.4 ft). The primary reason for this limit is the maximum allowed round-trip delay of about 1500 ns. If a USB device does not answer to host commands within the allowed time, the host considers the command to be lost. When USB device response time, delays from using the maximum number of hubs and delays from cables connecting the hubs, host and device are summed, the maximum delay caused by a single cable turns out to be 26 ns [10]. The USB 2.0 specification states that the cable delay must be less than 5.2 ns per meter, which means that maximum length USB cable is 5 meters long. However, this is also very close to the maximum possible length when using a standard copper cable."

from wikipedia

The difference between USB1 and USB 2 is that the USB 2 is shielded (like TV coaxial cable) to prevent signal loss between computer and printer. Look for a printer cable that is clear with the shielding visible.

If you are talking about computer .inf files it stands simply for INFORMATION. It is a plain text file used by Microsoft Windows for the installation of software and drivers.

If it wasn't due to an update or installed program it may have been a virus. It's hard to say without more information. If you don't have antivirus or anti-malware software I'd highly recommend you get software to do that. Malwarebytes is free and very good for anti-malware.

IN DECIMAL FORM: kb means KILO (kilo in 1000) BYTE, and mb means MEGA (mega as in the next 1000) BYTE. So 1kb has 1000bytes, 1mb has 1000kb, 1gb has 1000mb, 1tb has 1000 gb and so on... Therefore, 2mb has 2000kb. IN BINARY FORM: kb means KILO (kilo in 1024) BYTE, and mb means MEGA (mega as in the next 1024) BYTE. So 1kb has 1024bytes, 1mb has 1024kb, 1gb has 1024mb, 1tb has 1024 gb and so on... Therefore, 2mb has 2048kb

Yes. Input devices are examples of computer hardware. Computer hardware is all the physical parts of a computer. Scanners, keyboards, CD-ROM drives, mice, and cameras are all types of hardware.

the system clock determines how fast the computer can process information. it is measured in operations per second. i believe 1GHz is equal to 10,000 processes per second? but im not sure. however, each thing you do on a computer may take multiple lines of code. for example, clicking the mouse may take 2 lines or so to execute.

Overclocking is the process of increasing the clock to a higher level so it can perform more operations per second

A cable that converts VGA to RCA has 19 pins. The VGA cable has 15 pins, 3 pins are in the center of the RCA jack, and one pin is unused. This will work to convert an older tv to work with newer cable services.

It can be called a few different thing other than regular old Hyperlink .. It can be called a WebLink,Url,Link,Link ,Hyper Text Transition Listing Via Standard Uni Code / Special Character / Font Set.

This all The Ones I know and some of ones I looked up how to spell for you .

The PCI slot is faster. Offer mayor speed because the PCI use more faster BUSes and new architectures. The PCI EXPRESS is the newest version of the PCI architecture.

I have one on right now.. It seems it would be quite hard to drive....

Cache simply is for speeding up the processes already completed, since it is faster than ram, and easier to access. it basically is just for speeding up applications you use often. cache is volatile meaning that it is erased when you turn off your computer.

There is no minimum or required number for USB ports on a laptop. Depending on the age and design of the laptop, it could be anywhere from zero to ten.

I have seen only 2 USB ports on older laptops, most of the new ones atleast have 4 USB ports. Netbooks(10" & 11") have not more than 2 USB ports. If in anycase you need more USB ports, you could buy an USB hub for as less as 10$, which will add 4 more ports to your laptop.

Casual I would think. Anything more than casually using a computer is a pain on Windows 8 (Or any other tablet software for that matter) and that would always restrict you.

I would also have to look into how well those detachable keyboards are. If they are a pain to type on that could make a difference as well.

In the simplest of terms they are the same, it is just the target supported is different. Network administration supports the hardware and software that makes up the network, switches and routers for example. System administration would involve the support of the various servers that would be connected to the network, database, email, and web servers are good examples. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_administrator

The list of steps to get a printed screen of an error message begin with pressing the Print Screen key on your keyboard once. Look for the PrtScn key. The next step is to open an image editing program and paste the image into it. You can then save and print the image.

CPU Speed is meshed in Gigahertz. For example: Abbreviation for gigahertz. One GHz represents 1 billion cycles per second. The speed of microprocessors, called the clock speed, often is measured in gigahertz. For example, a microprocessor that runs at 200 GHz executes 200 billion cycles per second.

If they are already in the computer, go to the top left hand corner and click 'file' then click 'save as' and save it to a folder in the computer's system.

The PSU's main job is to break down the amount of electricity and distribute it to different parts of the board. The parts are to delicate to handle the huge amounts of electricity that comes directly from the socket on the wall. Aswell as this, the electric comming from the wall is AC and the PSU converts this to DC. And importantly it helps with spikes and brown outs in the supply from the wall.

Hardware is a physical component that exists in machinery. This is usually the actual arm or a piece of it on the outside, or items that make the machine work. In computers, a piece of hardware would be the fan, or the motherboard.

A piece of software is a program or piece of data that is run by hardware (or multiple items of hardware put together) to complete a task or function. Software would include operating systems, games, and other applications.

Roughly speaking, if you can touch it, it's hardware. The software is the code which runs computers - such as operations software, or which allows us to do things with a comouter, such as applications software, or utilities software.

The status indicator lights on the computer usually indicate whether the crucial CPU systems are running. For example, the HD led lights will show whether the hard disk is connected and running. Powering down will also switch off the lights.

Windows, Mac OS and Linux are all operating systems. All three can be used in computer desktops, laptops, netbooks, notebooks, smartphones, tablets, etc. You can use any of the three to surf the web, check your email, video chat, as word processors, video editors, for music listening, recording and production, graphics design, and the list goes on and on. However, the software that you use to accomplish the tasks I mentioned might be different depending on which operating system you're using. For example, to go on the internet you a need a web browser: Windows PCs come standard with Internet Explorer, Mac PCs come with Safari, and Linux usually comes with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or an offshoot of the two (Iceweasel, Chromium, etc).

Depends, From Hard Disk Drive to CPU travels though a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Cable. Graphics Card to CPU travels through a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Slot.
