Yes, dedicated memory is always better then shared (or integrated) edit answer after editing the question: but what is the shared memory option is much bigger than the dedicated option? (See edited question)
What is the single vibration of electric current?
I can't quite figure out for certain what you're asking but I'll make a couple guesses.
Standard house current arrives at your home using a 60CPS (cycles per second, also called hertz, named after Heinrich Hertz.) There are impurities in the electrical current, minor fluctuation's called spikes that can sometimes appear as other frequencies but the primary power source is delivered using the 60hz voltage.
A single "wave" of the current can be observed by using an oscilloscope. Starting at the point where the voltage is zero, the voltage rises to a peak, then falls, passes through zero again and peaks in the opposite direction and finally returns to zero. This describes a cycle or sometimes it's called a "wave".
I hope this has answered your question.
What is the basic Input output system is stored on?
The BIOS is boot firmware, designed to be the first code run by a PC when powered on. The initial function of the BIOS is to identify, test, and initialize system devices such as the Display Card, HDD, FDD and other hardware. The BIOS sets the machine hardware into a known state, so that Software stored on compatible media can be loaded, executed, and given control of the PC. This process is known as booting, or booting up, which is short for Bootstrapping.
The role of BIOS has changed over time; today BIOS is a legacy system, superseded by the more complex Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), but BIOS remains in widespread use, and EFI booting has only been supported in x86 Windows since 2008. BIOS is primarily associated with the 16-bit and 32-bit architecture eras (x86-32), while EFI is used for some 32-bit and most 64-bit architectures. Today BIOS is primarily used for booting a system, and for certain additional features such as power management (ACPI), but otherwise is not used during the ordinary running of a system, while in early systems (particularly in the 16-bit era), BIOS was used for hardware access - operating systems (notably MS-DOS) would call the BIOS rather than directly accessing the hardware. In the 32-bit era and later, operating systems instead generally directly accessed the hardware using their own device drivers.
An audio port on a computer allows for the input and output of sound. It usually is an external connector that is internally connected to the motherboard or sound card.
Booting device order is set in?
Usually, the order of booting devices is set in BIOS setup facility, which may be entered by hitting F2 or Delete (as the most widely known) buttons while the computer performs power-on self checks shortly after power-on or reset.
Name the error which occurs when you write on a page?
The main error which occurs when writing on the page is the text disappearing. This, however, is very common when using digital pens on tablets. To ensure proper functionality, make sure the pen and the tablet have been charged.
What is the difference between P4 and 4P?
4P means there are 4 separate atoms of phosphorus whiles P4 means there are are 4 atoms in a molecule of phosphorus
How is the Optical disc similar to the compact disc?
A compact disc is a type of optical disc.
"Optical disc" is an umbrella term for any type of storage media which uses optical technology (as opposed to magnetic) for data storage. This includes but is not limited to DVDs, CDs, H-DVD, blu-ray, laser discs CDRW's, and DVDRW's
Why does running make a person breathe faster?
Your body uses oxygen make energy, and muscles need energy to relax and contract, or flex. As you run, the demand for energy in your muscles increases, and so your lungs work harder to provide the oxygen your muscles are begging for. The result of higher demand for oxygen is faster deeper breaths.
What is short term and long term memory?
Short term memory is where you store stuff that you won't need for a very long time. Long term is the opposite.
How-to use seagate free agent go drive?
Plug and play or good old drop and drag. Pretty simple. Seagate has some good info in their website as well.
Where to download a virus i need one to clean my laptop of other ones?
You don't download a virus to "clean" a laptop or any other computer. To properly clean it you simply reformat it
What is the function of an output device?
it is the imput of the computers gasilitory functions and after words it is released in the output
What CMX stands for in the Corsair DDR400 memory CMX1024-3200PT?
CMX is a series name, in this case: Corsair Memory XMS. The XMS refers to Xtreme Memory Speeds. The 1024 mean it is a 1 Gigabyte module. The 3200PT refers to the clock speed rating. 3200 is rated for 400MHz speed, and PT means it has passed testing for their Platnum series.
What is the importance of Internet?
The main importance of the internet is that it has made information available in a quick and easy manner, publicly accessible and within easy reach. It has revolutionized communications and social networking, creating a zone which was so international that new law had to be designed to govern it.
People communicate, share data and work through the internet all day, every day, without realizing that it is completely decentralized. The internet plays a great role in removing the borders on nations, and assisting in the process of globalization.
In a matter of seconds we can now communicate with people around the world, whether for important business matters or just talking to friends.
During a single bus cycle, the 8-bit microprocessor transfers one byte while the 16-bit microprocessor transfers two bytes. The 16-bit microprocessor has twice the data transfer rate.
What is the purpose of a modem is to?
A modem converts a digital signal into an analog signal. Allowing us to use a phone line as a transmission medium.
When a computer shorts out do all the components die too?
It depends. If the whole computer has been immersed in liquid, pitch it. Individual components such as daughter boards, hard drives, the power supply, the motherboard and memory can all fail on their own. These can all be replaced individually, but may not be worth it.
What is an computer that cannot be removed from a device called?
Perhaps you are thinking of an "onboard computer" or an "internal computer." This is generally used to refer to some form of limited computer only able to complete specific functions for the device it is embedded in. For example, most modern cards have onboard computers which mange sensors, automatic transmission, airbags, warning lights, and other tasks. However, you cannot extract the computer and watch videos on Metacafe or something. It can only work in the device it was installed.
