Which option represents the main advantage of having an internal power supply in a computer?

All computers have an internal power supply...

An external one is simply for back up if you lose power.

Where can you obtain the schematic diagram for the Logitech Z-2300 subwoofer?

I did some testing on my z-2300.

For Audio Input:
pins 6 & 12 are L & R
pin 3 is ground


(optional) For bass control:

variable resistance between pins 1 & 11; variable between 6,000 to 14,000 ohms

(more resistance = less bass; less resistance = more bass)
(if you do not put the resistance between pins 1 & 11, you will get no bass. If you short pins 1 & 11, I highly suspect you'll fry {smoke} your sub)

Difference between notebook and laptop?

In essence, a notebook is designed to provide mobile computing that won't break your back yet still offer all the power the mobile users requires for work and some leisure pursuits. This portability normally comes at a price. The level of minituarization involved comes at a cost and high end notebooks can prove to be quite expensive.

A standard notebook has the following features:

1. Ultralight. Less weight is better.

2. 4 - 5 hour battery life.

3. No internal floppy drive.

4. Minimal graphics subsystem.

5. No internal DVD or CD system.

6. 12" - 14" TFT screen.

7. Low profile (thin).

8. Integrated modem and network connection.

9. Smallest possible keyboard that retains functionality.

10. Low power consumption Celeron/Centrino or Sempron style processor and may have a flash drive instead of a hard drive.

Laptop is the exact opposite of the notebook. Notebooks offer reasonable power and extreme portability. Laptops are designed to be capable of replacing an entire desktop PC if necessary whilst still offering desktop performance in a mobile platform. As time and technology moves on the line between laptop and notebook will continue to blur but for right now it's still clearly defined and driven by the demands of the portable computer market.

The standard laptop computer would have some ,if not all, of the following features:

1. 14" - 17" (widescreen) TFT screen.

2. Nvidia GeForce or ATI Radeon graphics subsystem.

3. Internal DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive

4. Large full featured keyboard.

5. 3 hour+ battery life.

6. Upgradeable.

7. Integrated modem, network, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities.

8. High quality integrate audio and speaker system.

9. Low power consumption, high performance Intel style processor.

Why computer freezes randomly?

Your computer may have a virus, not enough memory, or the software your are trying to run may not be compatible. To solve the problem you can, run a virus scan, increase the memory in your computer, or check the software for compatibility. Defraging you hard drive may help also. well it can due to many possible reason, may be you PC is lacking in the sources, or the program you are trying to run doesn't meet with the requirement it needs to be run on with the configuration of your system, another possibility is that the page file is continuously stucking in the Cache( random access memory in processor) .

i prefer you get your system formatted and install a brand new Operating system, and if the problem persist then contact you technician, may be there is a hardware fault.

Why does an LCD monitor have better resolution than a CRT monitor?

An LCD monitor does not have a better resolution than a CRT, generally speaking. Very old and cheap CRT's (pre 1995) have lower resolutions than newer models. LCD's are limited to "Native Mode" which means that they will produce images at higher or non-native modes, but these are lower quality images. Good CRT monitors (professional level monitors) will produce images in resolutions much higher than LCD monitors, and at refresh rates that are triple (or more: for fast moving video FPS type games). They also have better contrast ratio's, better color reproduction (higher number of colors), no motion blur or screen sheering, wider view angles, better environmental light adaptation, no dead pixels, no banding, no hatching flicker. Most non professional CRT's will still beat a LCD hands down on these same issues. LCD's are also limited life (1/4 or less) than a CRT. You only save electric usage(LCD 5/65, CRT 30/150 watts), and desk space for an LCD.

How many trype of vurises are there in a computer?

A virus is any type of malicious software. There are countless viruses around, but if you use a legal version of your operating system and use up-to-date security software, you should be safe. Most viruses are designed for Windows, and so this is the worst affected OS. Unix based systems such as Macs tend to get few, if any, viruses.

Why would your older computer running Windows XP just show a blank screen when you turn it on?

Do you get any "Beep codes" when the computer tries to go through the Power On Self Test (POST) when your first turn it on? A single, short beep indicates that the BIOS thinks everything is ok. Some other codes indicate that there are problems. If the computer is truly dead, (no POST beepcode and no text appears when you turn on the power) It could be anything from a bad power supply to a bad CPU or any of a number of other problems.

Does a fiber optic cable allow two way data transmission?

A network optical cable will have (with multi-mode anyway) two connection, one for transmission and one for receiving (TX/RX) data. So over one fiber? No, transmission or receiving only. Over an actual fiber network cable which is a bound pair? Yes.

The speed at which at processor operates internally is called what?

There are a number of terms relating to processor speed. The most common frequency is simply the clock frequency. There are others such as a PLL frequency that can be used to multiply the clock frequency and instruction cycle frequency that is usually lower than the basic clock frequency.

In all cases, the processor data sheet or the mother board data sheet will identify the name of the frequencies to which it refers.

What is a backtrack?

A backtrack is a repetition or review of one's steps, often in reverse order, in order to work out what someone has done previously.

How many megabytes is equal to a gigabyte?

Use of Caps are important when specifying size.

1mb = 1 milli-bit (which makes no sense)

1Mb = 1 megabit

1MB = 1 megabyte

8 bit equals 1 byte.

1 megabyte can mean both 1024x1024 ( 1048576) bytes as well as 1000x1024 ( 1024000 ) bytes.

Can you get dts and dolby 5.1 effect from a PC or laptop?

You need either a motherboard that has built-in 5.1 or better capability; if you don't have that, the only alternative is to add a soundcard that has the capability. If you're currently using the onboard sound, you'll have to disable the onboard sound in the BIOS before using the new soundcard.

How does ipsec works?

IPsec Short for IP Security, is a set of protocols developed by the IETF to support secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. IPsec has been deployed widely to implement Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). IPsec supports two encryption modes: Transport and Tunnel. IPsec to work, the sending and receiving devices must share a public key.

In an machine name plate it is written 3000w 240v what it mean wheather it is output or input?

Those numbers tell the electrical input required to run the machine at its full load.

Added:

Unless it is a dynamo, then it is output!

The higher the bus clock speed the slower the transmission of data?

Absolutely not. A 2MHz 8-bit bus can transfer 2MB per second; a 4MHz 8-bit bus can transfer 4MB per second.
