The switch on the back is the switch for the power supply only. The computer boots from the main power switch on the front. This particular method of switching was introduced with the ATX power supplies.
The active partition is also known as the?
(On Windows), the active partition is a primary partition on a disk which Windows will load its files from. An active partition is always a startup partition. If there are several OS's on the one disk, Windows will load from the one marked as active.

What is the function of an RJ45?
RJ45 is name of connector types used for Ethernet connections on computers and other Ethernet networking devices like routers and switches and also modems and other devices which support Ethernet interface. - Neeraj Sharma RJ45 is the standard for the plug that you use for connecting cat5 cable to a network. It's an 8 connector plug that looks like a larger version of a phone plug.
How to rewire a rca video cable to usb?
RCA video connections carry analog video signals. USB is a digital communications format and the two cannot be connected directly. To get to a USB format, a USB video card is needed. It will allow analog video to be captured to disc and also played from the computer to a standard television monitor.
Don't make any attempt to wire a USB cable into an RCA connector. It won't work and damage is likely to the equipment connected to it.
What is the function of integrated graphics processor?
is a separate processor used to handle all graphical information in a computer. Its separate from the CPU thus decrease its load or work
Does a Mac book have a built in WiFi adapter?
The MacBook, in common with all Macs for some years, has an Airport WiFi card.
What rays do computers release?
Computers radiate radio waves from their inside guts. They also radiate visible
light from their screens and from those little LEDs that show you what's running.
Finally, since they consume electrical energy while doing their jobs, they release
infrared radiation and heated air.
Computers also often release sounds, but you wouldn't call those 'rays'.

How do you assemble or disassemble CPU?
In early computers that were made with vacuum tubes, transistors, or simple integrated circuit chips you could do this. However since the development of the microprocessor this has become impossible, as the CPU is entirely inside one integrated circuit chip.
In modern microprocessors the CPU is actually only a tiny part of that microprocessor chip, sometimes less than 1/10th of the circuits on the chip which now typically includes: memory management, input/output devices, ADCs, DACs, etc. Also multicore microprocessors contain several independent CPUs on the one chip (as many as 16 CPUs in some chips).
Which is fastest to slowest - CACHE memory - RAM - virtual memory - buffer?
- CACHE memory is a very highspeed RAM coupled with CAM, placed very close to the CPU so that data and instructions that were recently read from RAM will not have to be reread when again needed within some short period of time since last read.
- RAM is randomly accessible memory, it can be fast or slow depending on its implementation and the technology used.
- virtual memory is a rather slow simulation of RAM using OS software, special memory management hardware, and a reserved swap area on a harddisk. Its advantages include: ability to run programs requiring more RAM than the machine physically has, every program can view itself as being the only one using the machine, isolation so that one crashed program will not shut down the entire machine.
- buffer simply refers to any memory device that temporarily hold information generated by one unit before it can be consumed by another unit. Some buffers are very fast, some buffers are very slow, some buffers hold only a small number of bits (maybe even only one bit), some buffers are massive RAM or FIFO memories.
On a PCB the components are connected by tracks made of what material?
PCB traces are mostly made of copper although they are usually coated with other metals or alloys on the outer layers.
What does a sound blaster audio do or good for?
It's your sound card. It allows you to listen to music, and hear the sounds in games and movies.
Can a 500va automatic voltage regulator be used on a 700w power supply unit?
A: NO it cannot 500va is 500 x 1 amp = 500 watts you need a 700va to work properly,
What are the devices that are used to feed data into the computer?
the most common are the keyboard and mouse, but pretty much any other device that plugs into a computer feeds data to it. most use usb cables.
Full name of mouse in computer?
Mouse is the full name for the input device. It is not m.o.u.s.e that would have a full form.
Mouse is a nickname given to the device whilst in development, due to it's resemblance of a live mouse.
What is cookie and what does it do?
Cookie is somethin u eat lolz... but for computers its data u get from the internet for example:
you go online and go to face book and u see photos of stuff... the photos r pretty much Data turned into Cookies onto ur computer so when u go back the Photos will load of faster when u go back to it...
hope this helps :)

How long does it take a memory stick to load so you can use it?
It should only take a few seconds. If you don't see it, you may want to restart your computer.
Can you have 32-bit graphics mode on your Intel 810 chipset Intel 82810 graphics controller?
Yes u can have them i am running few of those games u just need good Ram to run them :-)
What are the types of computer system units?
The system unit is the part of the computer that holds the motherboard, power supply and storage.
The different types of system units are desktop, tower, mini-tower and notebook.
Why is Boolean algebra used for combinational logic circuits?
Because it is a very efficient language for describing their operation as well as a tool to assist in design optimization (reducing the cost of the circuit when built).
