Computer Hardware
Computer hardware is a general term used to refer to all the physical parts of a computer. Internal hardware devices include hard drives and motherboards, while external hardware devices include monitors, mice, keyboards, and printers.

What is 12 mb user internal memory?
it is the memmory which is used by the computer to save it virtual and physical memory and some deleted files which are deleted from the recyclebin
What is the difference between thin client and thick client?
Thick Client : Processing is done on client side. eg: Applets.
Thin client : Processing is done on server side.
eg: Yahoo, hotmail, etc.
If there are RS232-to-USB adapters why are there no USB-to-RS232 serial adapters?
RS-232 serial ports are far slower than USB ports. With very few exceptions, devices that use USB ports would be impractical to use on a serial port.
How do you get a program to run if the launch application got deleted?
you cant do that at all only if you can get it back on wat ever ur usin by installing it
What is an input device that resembles a small eraser common on laptops?
It is a mouse controller that works like a joystick in a way. The harder you press in a direction, the faster the cursor moves that direction. You drive the cursor where you need it by pusing this "eraser head" around.
it depends on the program but if you copy it onto the computer it should work regardless,its worked for me the times I've tried it with downloaded programs like limewire,itunes,etc.
The answer is true. Without these standards, it would be tough to design a network because you could ensure the hardware and software from different companies would be compatible.
How many things can a CPU do at one time?
A CPU can do one thing per processor that the computer contains
What is the difference between a microcontroller and microprocessor?
The main differences are:
- A micro processor and microcotrollers are the same, however, microcontroller is refered to a microprocessor that contains other functions and other extra hardware.
- For example, a microprocessor chip that also has PWM and on board serial com chips is considered to be a micro controller.
- And microcomputer, is computing units that are smaller in size, such as your cell phone.
- A microprocessor is a hardware that can processes logical codes.
More Detail: A microcontroller is a specialized form of microprocessor that is designed to be self-sufficient and cost-effective, where a microprocessor is typically designed to be general purpose (the kind used in a PC). Microcontrollers are frequently found in automobiles, office machines, toys, and appliances.
The microcontroller is the integration of a number of useful functions into a single IC package. These functions are:
The ability to execute a stored set of instructions to carry out user defined tasks.
The ability to be able to access external memory chips to both read and write data from and to the memory.
Basically, a microcontroller is a device which integrates a number of the components of a microprocessor system onto a single microchip.
So a microcontroller combines onto the same microchip :
The CPU core (microprocessor)
Memory (both ROM and RAM)
Some parallel digital I/O
Also, a microcontroller is part of an embedded system, which is essentially the whole circuit board. Look up "embedded system" on Wikipedia.
The difference is that microcontroller incorporates features of microprocessor(CPU,ALU,Registers)along with the presence of added features like presence of RAM,ROM,I\O ports,counter etc.Here microcontroller control the operation of machine using fixed programme stored in Rom that doesn't change with lifetime.
The Differences:
The main difference between a typical microprocessor and a micro controller living there architectural specifications is the application area of both the devices. A typical microprocessor like Intel Core family or Pentium family processors or similar processors is in computers as a general purpose programmable device. In its life period it has to handle many different tasks and programs given to it.
On the other hand, a micro controller from 8051 family or PIC family or any other have found there applications in small embedded systems like some kind of robotic system or a traffic signal control system. Also these devices handle same task or same program during there complete life cycle.
The other difference is that the micro controller usually has to handle real time tasks while on the contrary the microprocessors in a computer system may not handle a real time task at all times.
What was operating temperature of the CPU for celeron Intel g540?
what was the operating temperature of the cpu for the intel celeron g540
Do kettles have a computer chip in them?
Not usually... They're fitted with a simple temperature sensor, that switches it off when the water boils.
Can you use a CPU with a broken pin?
This all depends. It is possible that the "broken" pin was removed at the factory. Some of the 486 CPUs were like that. The SX chips likely were missing a few pins. Or, you might be lucky and the pin could be a redundant ground or not connected internally. However, more than likely, it just won't work or you will be missing some functionality.
How pins does a joystick or midi port connector have?
The connector is usually a DB9, though it's possible that not all 9 pins will be used.
Why might one need a USB driver?
One may need a USB driver when introducing new USB peripherals to a PC running the various Microsoft Windows software. Some old Microsoft Windows versions require USB drivers for most modern peripherals.
Why wont my easycap dc60 show video on your mac?
You need Mac software, it only comes with Windows.
Do a search on Google/Yahoo ---- EasyCap Viewer --basically, download, open and then put in Applications folder. YouTube has a dozen or so videos on how to do it.
How do you take old things off your flash drive?
You first need to plug the flash drive into the USB port in your computer. Then, there are instructions for two types of computers, so follow along to your computer:
PC (Windows): Click the start button on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Then, go to 'Windows explorer'. Then, click on computer. If you have Windows XP, go to Windows explorer first, but if you have Vista home premium, then click start and go straight to the computer button. You should see a list of drives in your computer, but your flash drive should either be 'Removable disk G' or 'Removable disk H'. Double click on either drive to find your flash drive. Then, to take items off, just drag the item off of your flash drive, and into the trash. Another way is to right mouse click and click 'delete'.
Mac (Any mac software, e.g., tiger, leopard, etc.): Watch the desktop, and you should find a white icon pop up on your desktop. Your flash drive could be named, or it could not be named, it doesn't matter. After finding the white icon, which is your flashdrive, double click on it. What's in your flash drive should appear, and you could either right mouse click and press 'move to trash' or 'delete', or you could just drag the item you want off of the flashdrive into the trash.
Important Note: The flash drive will remember the trash, meaning the trash takes up space on your flash drive, even though you moved it into the trash. You must permanently delete the item by emptying the trash. Otherwise, the flash drive will just take up space just remembering the trash, which means it is still taking up the same amount of space on the flash drive. DON'T FORGET TO EMPTY THE TRASH!
What are the 5 voltages produced by an ATX PSU and which is seldom used?
The ATX power supply uses 3.3, +5, -5, +12 and -12 volts, plus a common or ground. The +12 and -12 are used by one pin each, so I would guess that would be what you mean by the seldom used.
The 3.3 volt is what distinguishes the ATX from earlier power supplies, which only had +5, -5, +12 and -12, plus a common or ground.
How do you turn off mouse lag on a Gateway?
If the pointer is moving a fraction after you move the mouse then the answer may be a trojan/virus in your system.
To test, close all applications to rule out CPU/Memory load as the cause and see if the lag still occurs by moving your mouse left and right in quick, single jerks on the desktop. If it still happens then maybe some malware has inserted a program between your mouse (and video/keyboard) driver and the processor to remotely monitor your actions. This can cause the delay.
I wouldn't trust any currently installed AV software since it may be compromised.
