I need A wireless router that works with a Nintendo DS and outlook express 6.0 what works?
I would think any should work. I'm not familiar with the Nintendo DS, but you should first see what kind of networking it is compatible with. There are many. There is Wireless-A, B, G, and N. G and N are the two most common, and "faster" of the four. A is "ok" but I hear the distance/signal isn't as good as the others. Wireless-N is a "newer" technology. But basically, check with your Nintendo DS and see which one it requires, then find a wireless router that matched it.
Why does my Computer keeps freezing?
Some times a computer will freeze cause of the lack of RAM or Memory.
The BIOS of your computer's motherboard has a "real time clock", but like any clock, if there's no power getting to it, the clock resets. Computer motherboards have a BIOS that are powered by a battery when the computer is off. If this battery dies, the BIOS resets to default values and will not hold time and date information. It sounds like it's time for you to replace the battery on your motherboard.
What predicts that the number of transistors inside a CPU will double every 18 months?
Moore's Law. And it's actually 12 months, now. But yes, the original theory was that the overall number of transistors on a CPU die would double every year and a half.
The correction to Moore's Law is influenced, among other things, also by the reduction in size of the dies and the transistors themselves.
What is the meaning of buffering an operating system?
Refers to buffering:as reading and writing data from hdd takes long time.so to improve the speed for data processing the data next required by processor is stored is cache memory or CPU register.for e.g. to cut certain line from text file to copy into another file.cut data get stored in to buffer (CPU register) to get back stored into another file.
What are the USB ports on the ps2 used for?
How do i do a system recovery on an hp pavilion xt963?
You have to have the system recovery cds hopefully you made them when you first got your computer. put the disk labled number 1 in the CD ROM drive restart your computer and follow the instructions.
Fundamental principle of current transducer?
The basic principle of current transformer is same as that of the power transformer. Like the power transformer current transformer also contains a primary and a secondary winding. Whenever an alternating current flows through the primary winding alternating magnetic flux is produced, which then induces alternating current in the secondary winding. In case of current transformers the load impedance or "burden" is very small. Therefore the current transformer operates under short circuit conditions. Also the current in the secondary winding does not depend load impedance but depends on the current flowing in the primary winding.
What is the fastest laptop available today?
Any laptop with 8 gb of ram, an Intel Core i7 processor, and an SSD is really fast. There is a number of them, check out the Sony Vaio S.

It's called a DRIVER. Now you know the answer to the other question, Operating System. Or you would have at least seen the answer if some d1ckbahg hadn't overwritten it with "hardcore" (the people on this site are just sooo funny).
As for you, start doing your own homework you sorry s0n of @
Hope this helps!
How do you switch back and forth between two operating systems?
Linux includes "LILO", called the Linux Loader. At startup time it allows you to select which OS you want.
Other bootloaders are available commercially.
Is digital audio output the same as earphones?
Not in the least! Your first clue might have been that the connectors don't look anything alike. Earphones are on a 1/8" or 1/4" STEREO (3 conductor) plug and take an analog signal.
Digital outputs are for connecting digital components together. Say you had a top-of-the-line 7.1 receiver but kind of an older, low cost CD player. Obviously, on a "cheapie" they didn't spend a lot of money on the section that converts it from Digital to Analog. The Analog is what you hear. You might remember how aweful it used to be in the old days when you would make a copy of a copy of a copy of a cassette. lots of hiss - no dynamic range. Well, now you could copy a CD "ad-infinitum" without losing a bit of information. So, if the CD player is accurately reading the CD, the digital stream on a $50 player should equal the stream of a $500 player. Take advantage of the fancy receiver and do the conversion there and things will sound MUCH better.
The same thing if you got one of those "cheapie" government subsidized DTV boxes when they cut off analog television signals a few years ago. The audio is very harsh out of those. If you happened to get one with a digital out though...
When it comes to Blu-ray, you could have as many as 8 analog audio outputs that would need to go into your receiver. Using quality cabling, this could cost quite a lot - maybe 1/2 as much as your player did! This could all be replaced with one digital audio cable. Multiple streams get "multiplexed" much the same way that your cable company can put over 100 channels on one wire or fiber-optic line.
Is there a switch for 2-computers to use 1-set of speakers?
There are a number of answers depending of your configuration and intended usage. The 3.5mm stereo jacks are based on the standard size for computer equipment. Most non-portable audio equipment uses 3.5mm or RCA connectors for audio line inputs/outputs. This applies to a set of stereo speakers only (2 speakers or 2.1 speakers) using a stereo line in.
Answer 1: MixerAn audio mixer blends the signals together and isolates them from each other. There's one called the "TinyMix" which is designed for computers Answer 2: Y-cable If only one computer is on at a time, you could definitely use a speaker & headphone splitter and two cables without any switch. A 3.5mm Stereo Mini Male to Dual Stereo Mini Female Y-cable together with two 3.5mm Stereo Mini Male cables would allow you to connect the two line outputs from the sound card to the speaker's input.Computer1 <-M----M-> >-F--\
Speakers' LineIn--F-< <-M--
Computer2 <-M----M-> >-F--/
If using a headphone splitter with volume controls make sure they are passive as you would use its input as output and the outputs as inputs. If not sure what this means, use a splitter without volume controls.
Answer 3: KVM w/audioYou can use a KVM switch with audio. The added advantage is that you can use a single keyboard, mouse and monitor with two computers. There is quite a variety of KVM switches so you'll be able to find one that gets you the most. However, if you don't need to share the keyboard, mouse and monitor it's not a good solution as most of the KVM switch will remain unused. Answer 4: Audio SwitchA generic audio switch with 3.5mm stereo jacks for input and output seems to fit a scenario where two computers are on but the sound will be used only from one of them at a time. These are for audio/video equipment and may come w RCA jacks; find one w 3.5mm stereo jacks. An audio/video selector with proper jacks may also work (the video part remains unused) if you can find a bargain. Answer 5: Speaker set w/2 inputsIf you didn't buy the speakers yet, buy a set with with two inputs (mixed or switchable) - but this is probably not the case.When were computer speakers first invented?
Abinawan Puracchidas invented the first speakers in 1991.
How do you play movies downloaded from the net on my tv set?
Get yourself a video card that has a TV out (or video out) capability. Then just connect it to your TV set. Don't want to do that? Then burn the movie to DVD and use your DVD player.
How can I fix my built in mic on my desktop?
When you say "fix" does that mean it used to work at some point and then it stopped working all of a sudden? This can be due to a recent upgrade. Maybe you upgraded to Windows 10, which in such case it's common to run into such internal mic issues.
There are three things you can try:
-
Update all driver: The issue may be due to some conflict with the drivers. You can update manually or download and install a software called "driver easy." The driver easy automatically recognizes your windows version and will install the best drivers for it. It's easy to use as well.
-
Also, you can try setting your mic as the default. In some cases, this helps. All you need to do is right-click on the speaker icon at the bottom right, select "recording devices," then in the sound dialog, click the recording tab and select your mic as default.

What graphical input source captures and stores images in a bitmap form for transfer to a computer?
That would be called a "scanner"
Can you build your own gaming laptop just like you would a gaming desktop?
The answer to that question is Yes and No.
Yes you can "BUT" only through specific computer companies. They have a specific list of hardware specs that you can choose from and build your system that way.
No you cant as an average consumer. Laptops are not made the same was Desktops. Laptops are about harmony, everything placed in them is made to be compact and ofter engineered to only work with specific components, eg, having components soldered to the motherboard etc and the components are not readily available, where as Desktops are modular and can have any part switched out.
