What is secondary partition?

A computer hard disk cam be split into partitions, this can be done for many reasons, including the need for two different operating systems on one computer and to reduce disk space wastage.

A secondary partition would be any such partition on the disk, which is not the first partition, you would normally expect to boot from the primary partition.

Is a speaker an input or output dvice?

It's an output device. Its sole purpose is to let you hear what sounds the computer is playing.

Is database hardware?

A database manager is a computer program (or programs) that manages database information. Most database programs can be purchased or obtained from many places and installed on a computer. That makes it software.

If the database program is part of and supplied with the computer vendors system, than it is system software.

It is possible to securely store the database program in a type of memory where its location is fixed and not changeable using normal programming methods. That would make it firmware.

If the database software is implemented in the actual computer machinery and not changeable without replacing or changing computer components, it would be hardware.

What tool is used for hardware to stand on to prevent static electricity from buiding up?

You would place hardware on an anti-static mat to prevent static electricity from building up. If you don't have that, you could use other things such as an antistatic wrist strap or even antistatic bags.

What is the difference between process and processor?

In computing, a process is a running instance of a program, including all variables and other state. A multitasking operating system switches between processes to give the appearance of simultaneous execution, though in fact only one process can be executing at once per CPU core. A process is the active element in a computer. Terminals, files, and other I/O devices communicate with each other through processes. Thus, network communications is interprocess communications (that is, communication between processes). while As the name indicates, a processor is a complex logic circuitry, that can process instructions which are written to make a computer perform a particular task. It is also referred as a 'Central Processing Unit'. When integrated on a single integrated chip or IC (microchip or logic chip) with all the logic circuitry it is termed as a 'microprocessor'. Normally microprocessor is called as a single chip computer, which is capable of performing arithmetic and logic operations, which make use of registers for storage

Can an Elitegroup motherboard P4VXASD2 v1 with a 4X AGP support an E-VGA GeForceFX 5700LE 256mb 8x AGP card?

Maybe. It depends on the AGP connector type of the motherboard and vga card. The ECS P4VXASD2.v1 motherboard has - I think - an Universal AGP slot ( not Universal AGP 3.0 !!) which can set 3.3 V or 1.5 V signal line voltage. The question is : What AGP connector does a vga card have ? Because of we are speaking about an 8x AGP card now the card connector type can be :

  • AGP3.0 (in this case it won't work)
  • Universal 1.5V AGP3.0 (it will work)
  • Universal AGP3.0 (it will work).

So the answer is : Try to find the voltage requirement or AGP collector type of card what you will purchase.

If you have already bought the card and there is no signal from AGP (for example the monitor is dark )you can do a proof. Do the followings:

  • check the card in an another computer with 8x AGP motherbord AGP slot
  • if the card works try to find his "AGP driving control" value (for example on the working computer:

PowerStrip->Adapter information->Report . You can see this value in a list. )

  • note the "AGP driving control" value (it is a hexa value between 00 - FF)
  • start the computer with motherboard P4VXASD2.v1 and enter BIOS setup
  • go to "Advanced Chipset Features" and see value of "AGP Driving Control" (the default is Auto)
  • set it to FX5700LE's value
  • "Save & Exit" from the BIOS Setup
  • install your FX5700LE in the P4VXASD2.v1 motherboard
  • start the computer

If the "no signal problem" persists your FX5700LE has an AGP3.0 collector type.It means your card can not work together with your P4VXASD2 mobo. ( In this case you should set back in the BIOS the original "AGP driving control" value. It can be your old AGP will have a "no signal" problem now. If it was use a PCI card to set BIOS-value back) I hope , I could help you.

Hi! I was asking similar question to ECS Technical Support (question was about different model of GeForceFX - 5200) The answer was that this mobo supports only AGP 4X graphics card (AGP 2.0), and it's not guaranted to work well with AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) cards. "This model is support AGP2.0(4X, 2X, 1X), so can not support AGP3.0 VGA card(4X/8X)" In attachment I got this: Differences between: AGP 2.0 // AGP 3.0 Signaling: 1.5V Signaling // New 0.8V Signaling Protocol: AGP1.0 + Fast Writes // AGP2.0 + Some enhancements - some deletions Speeds: 4X, 2X, 1X // 8X, 4X Connector: 1.5V keyed, Universal // 1.5V keyed, Universal

However, refering to the first answer, my graphics card's manufacturer technical support informed me that its connector is 1.5V, so it should work. I'll try the given proof and update my answer.

What are the different types of computer backups?

Copy backup

A copy backup copies all the files you select, but does not mark each file as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is not cleared). Copying is useful if you want to back up files between normal and incremental backups because copying does not affect these other backup operations.

Daily backup

A daily backup copies all the files that you select that have been modified on the day the daily backup is performed. The backed-up files are not marked as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is not cleared).

Differential backup

A differential backup copies files that have been created or changed since the last normal or incremental backup. It does not mark files as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is not cleared). If you are performing a combination of normal and differential backups, restoring files and folders requires that you have the last normal as well as the last differential backup.

Incremental backup

An incremental backup backs up only those files that have been created or changed since the last normal or incremental backup. It marks files as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is cleared). If you use a combination of normal and incremental backups, you will need to have the last normal backup set as well as all incremental backup sets to restore your data.

Normal backupA normal backup copies all the files you select and marks each file as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is cleared). With normal backups, you only need the most recent copy of the backup file or tape to restore all of the files. You usually perform a normal backup the first time you create a backup set.

Do DVD-RW discs need to be formated?

DVD-RW DVD-RW discs can be used by some operating systems like MS Vista as regular recordable discs, meaning that you cannot alter what is recorded on them without erasing and recording new alter version of the same file. They cab be also used almost identically as hard drive, where you can record for example MS Word and alter it by opening it by Word application. In situation when you are using it as hard drive (or old fashion floppy disc for that matter), it has to be formated before such use.

Do you need to remove the wireless card from laptop when going out of state?

No, if it's yours or it came with the computer then it stays in your computer. The wireless card is usable in any state in the country. Pretty much most county's.

Your thinking too hard. The wireless signal works with any wireless router that is compatible with your card.

If you move to another state then it will work with the wireless modem/router the ISP supplies to you when you buy your next internet.

What might the purpose be for a SATA-style power connector on a motherboard?

The SATA connector on a power supply is to supply power to SATA-based hard drives. It is not to be confused with the ATX plug that is to give extra power to the CPU, nor the PCI-e power connectors that give extra power to certain video cards.

It is unexpected to find a SATA style connector on the motherboard.

What does output device input device and processing device means?
