If by "system unit," you mean the main part of the computer, then yes. In the past, all disk controllers were plugged into the motherboard. Nowadays, the motherboards all come with disk controllers, at least for SATA (and sometimes SAS) hard drives.
CMOS is a type of material, not a specific type of processor. That is short for Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon. CMOS devices tend to use less power and tend to be faster than their older counterparts. So a CMOS processor is a processor made using the CMOS material. For instance the V20 chip is a 3rd party CMOS variation of Intel's 8088 CPU. The V20 is 10-20% faster and uses less power than the 8088.
Essentially, any peripheral or component of a computer has a bus. These are either internal or external in nature. The address bus, data bus, and local bus is the system by which components communicate with one another.

Okay, the normal download for directx 9 doesnt really have directx 9 in it, its supposed to download the files it needs when you run the setup. But it doesnt always work that way.
What you need to do is download the "redistributable" version. The redistributable directx download is intended for software developers to package directx with their products, if their product uses directx that is. This version has everything it needs to install directx even with no internet connection & should work much better for you.
It is linked below. It should be noted that the redistributable directx is often included on PC game install discs. If you have a recent title close at hand, you may look on it for a "directx" or "addon" folder.

What can I do to prevent my graphics card from crashing?
You could try using a different version of the video drivers. Most often, you want to move forward and keep up to date but there have been some occasions in which using an earlier version of the drivers actually allowed more stability. Research your specific card's drivers on the Internet and see what other owners suggest as a stable version of your driver.
On another note, if you have a card based on an nVidia chipset, then you might consider swapping it out for an AMD-based card. In my professional experience, I have found the AMD drivers to be much more stable. nVidia cards oftentimes lock up and crash so that the screen resets to basic 800 x 600 VGA and the only way to correct that is to reboot the computer. I've never seen that with AMD drivers (and I've been in the business for over 25 years by this point).
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions or would like further suggestions, feel free to drop me a line.
What document should be read before installing a new motherboard?
Just the manual. Assuming you are talking about a desktop computer, I highly recommend using the manual to connect the front panel headers (Ex. Power, reset, usb, audio... usually on the front of the case), as some motherboards are different of where the cables go.
The manuals usually explain what cables go in what pins very well. Other than that though, installing everything else is almost identical to each motherboard, as they are standards.
What is the processor speed and power of a dell desktop computer?

AVR means Automatic Voltage Regulator. It automatically maintains a constant voltage level. AVR may be a separate device or a part of powet supply.
No - because the camera needs to process the image first, saving it to either internal memory or a flash-card. The only alternative would be to set the DSLR up as a web-cam, then save specific images after you review the footage.
Cache misses move up the chain (or down the chain, if you want to think of it that way). If the information required is not in your L1 cache, then it checks for it in the L2 cache. If it isn't there either, then you need to go out and grab it from main memory.
Can airport security machines damage a travel drive?
Hard drives are really good protected, you can damage if you are shaking a hard drive extrimely hard.

Write about Generic software Bespoke software and give examples?
Generic software can be used by any organization to solve a solution, e.g. a spreadsheet like MS Excel. Bespoke software, conversely, is customized for a specific user or organization, e.g. the Linux PS2 operating system is custom-built for the particular gaming console and can not be used on a PC, a PS1 or an Xbox.
