Yes.The games that come out these days won't work most likely.For e.g: Call of Duty: MW3,Need for speed: The Run etc.

What are the hardware and software requirements of a time sharing system?

A characteristic of a time-sharing system is that the computer seen by the user programming in machine language differs from that on which the system is implemented. In fact, the user machine is defined by the combination of the time sharing hardware running in user mode and the software which controls input-output, deals with illegal actions which may be taken by a user's program, and provides various other services. If the hardware is arranged in such a way that calls on the system have the same form as the hardware instructions of the machine, then the distinction becomes irrelevant to the user; he simply programs a machine with an unusual and powerful instruction set which relieves him of many of the problems of conventional machine-language programming. In a time-sharing system that has been developed by and for the use of members of Project Genie at the University of California at Berkeley , the user machine has a number of interesting characteristics. The computer in this system is an SDS 930, a 24 bit, fixed-point machine with one index register, multi-level indirect addressing, a 14 bit address field, and 32 thousand words of 1.75 memory in two independent modules. Figure 1 shows the basic configuration of equipment. The memory is interleaved between the two modules so that processing and drum transfers may occur simultaneously. A detailed description of the various hardware modifications of the computer and their implications for the performance of the overall system has been given in a previous paper.

Is the fluid that leaked out of your cracked laptop screen toxic?

The fluid may come from different places. While it is unlikely to be hazardous, it is sensible to treat it as toxic. Whatever the cause, it sounds like it's time for a repair.

How computer distinguisehs left and right shift keys?

Each key has an associated code number so the computer can check the number to see which key is being pressed. The Scan Code for the Left Shift key is (on a typical USB keyboard) 44 and for the Right Shift is 57.

Harddisk is which type of device?

A (harddisk) is a hard drive that stores and provides quick access to large amounts of data.

How do you get information from one hard drive to another?

It depends on what your setup is. If you have two computers, and you want to transfer data between them, you should be able to network the computers and copy the files directly. If you just have a hard drive and want to copy some data to your computer, you can install the drive into your computer (assuming you have a slot for the drive, an available data cable for the drive and and available power connector.

Is it true that the number of chips on a memory module corrosponds to the quantity of data being stored by the package?

Not really. A single memory chip has the capacity to store a certain amount of data. Other mempry chips have larger or smaller capacity. Only when looking at a specific chip, then adding more chips increases the overall capacity (but typically also requires additional hardware). In the popular case of RAM modules used for desktop or laptop computers, the module's staorage capacity is not a function of the number of visible memory chips soldered onto the module.

Is a 250GB hard drive adequate for a home computer?

No matter what the size of hard drive you have, you will eventually have to replace it. I built a computer in September 06. It had a 250 GB hard drive. I am probably the average computer user; I use mine for homework, a little bit of gaming, surfing the web, some DVD editing, and msn. My hard drive is about half full by now (June 07). I recently just added another 250 GB hard drive to use when my first one is full. You can add it on to your computer, so it might be fine to just start with a 250 or 320 GB hard drive and add another one in a year or so.

How can batteries with same voltge rated with Wh and mAh be compared?

watt = amp * volt

watt hour capacity = amp hour capacity * voltage

Calculate capacity in watt hour for the one which gives you mAh capacity with the following (dividing by 1000 to convert mA to A):

Wh capacity = (mAh capacity / 1000 ) * voltage

What is an orthotic device?

Orthotics are orthopedic devices that are used to treat a variety of biomechanical foot disorders. Whenever a person's foot is not functioning as designed, the weight of the body is not properly transferred and distributed. As a result, pain and tenderness can develop in the foot, ankle, and the surrounding muscles. Orthotics work to relieve pain by realigning and supporting the ligaments and bones of the foot properly, so that the foot can function as normal.

Samba server and ftp server difference?

Samba server is used fo sharing file and folder and directories over the network ,whether sharing between windows to Linux or vice versa,same case with the ftp but

1)ftp can provide anonymous access to the clients,that means,there is no need to have users account on ftp server

2)files first need to be downloaded from windows or Linux before viewing it,in case of samba we can direct share files.

3)in case of samba there is need of samba clients on samba server for accessing files.

Why is modem classified as input or output?

What are the effects of ESD on computers?

ESD or electro static discharge is harmful to electronic components because it can cause component overload similar to an electric shock

What is the difference between RJ - 45 Ethernet connector and PCI card?

An RJ45 connector and a PCI NIC card are 2 completely different things. An RJ45 (Technically an 8P8C) is the connector at the end of a CAT cable which plugs into a NIC card.

Unless you are thinking RJ11, which has nothing to do with CAT cables. An RJ11 is the name of the cable used for single-line dialup modems and telephones, in which case, the connector is called a 6P4C connector.

Installing two motherboards in one computer?

It is possible to build a computer with two mobos. You are probably going to have to to use a server chasis in order to do so. I have yet to see a readily availabe computer case availabe that can hold two. Yeong Yang Technologies makes a cube chasis. I am sure being a computer tech you already have figured the heat distrobution and the over all power usage for such a program

How do you stop found new hardware wizard in Windows XP?

You just have to keep pushing "cancel".

You can also address the issue via the System Properties (Right click My Computer). Open the Hardware tab, click Device Manager, then find the driver in the list shown (whether it be for an mp3 player, camera, smartphone, ...) and right click>>Disable. This will keep the computer from trying to install the hardware drivers every time you plug in the device and /should/ allow you to use the device normally as an external drive (if that's the device's original functionality).

Comparison between windows 16 bit 32 bit?

Most modern operating systems are either 32 bit or 64 bit but it mostly has to do with memory coding.

32bit can utilize a maximum or 4gb or RAM due to the amount of numbers it uses to identify a location on the RAM (32 numbers). 64 bit can use far more memory (over 128gb) while 16 bit can use far less (not sure of exact numbers)

Anything you buy today should be at least 32bit if not 64 bit

How important are watts when it comes to powering a computer for example is 300W enough for a Asus A7N8X-E AMD XP2700 or a Hercules 9800XT?

Here's a quote from AMD's FAQ for their processors : "Q. What size power supply will I need with my AMD Athlon processor? A. For a minimally configured low power-consumption system, you can use any of the approved power supplies listed on our website. A 250-watt power supply is the minimum but you need to estimate the system configuration requirements to ensure system stability. Minimally configured means: 128-Mbyte RAM, 16-Mbyte AGP graphics, internal V.90 modem, 10/100 NIC, floppy drive, CD-ROM or DVD, and 5400-RPM hard disk. If you are not certain of the final user-configuration, it is safer to install one of the approved 300-watt (or larger) power supplies listed on the recommended power supply listing. If the Athlon processor-based system will have more powerconsuming accessories than the basic minimum, we recommend you build your system using 300-watt (or larger) power supplies. By using a larger power supply, the system is also robust enough to handle future enhancements. For the latest recommended power supply list, you must consult our web site at: amd.com

A 300W power supply will probably be enough for the parts you mention, but remember that every part on your computer pulls electricity. If you have two hard drives, a CD burner, and a DVD ROM then you could have four times as much draw as just a single hard drive. With a newer computer I would use at least a 350W supply, and if I could find a cheap 400W I would consider that for future expansion.

I have a system not unlike the one above: A7N8XE, AMD 3.2, 512 memory, Saphire 9600 XT, single SATA drive and CDRW.

I've blown up both 300 and 350 watt psus. The system isn't faulty, its thirsty. Thirstier than AMD would be suggesting on their FAQ.

300w might be ok for email but you don't need a 9800XT GPU for email. If you're compute intensive you need more power.

If you have a top system it should have a top PSU, nowerdays its as important as any other component. Cheap unbranded components can have a hidden cost (two blown up.) I have an Enermax 465w unit now and it really rocks: quality build, steady voltages, cool and quiet.

When selecting a power supply, remember that headroom is a good thing.

For example, if you normally listen to music at about 5 watts of power, then why not just buy a 5 watt amplifier? Because you would be running the amplifier at 100% load all of the time. Now, if you buy a 100 watt amplifier, and you're listening to it at 5 watts, then you're only using 5% of the load.

Same thing with a computer power supply. *WILL* it run on 300 watts? Probably. But are you running the power supply at a higher load all the time? Yes.
