What is the purpose of Central processing unit?
To do the actual additions and make the other necessary "decisions". The CPU is also know as the processor.
Very likely that your lenses are dirty, especially if the computer is in a room where someone smokes. Check first to make sure that your computer operating system recognizes the drives. They should be listed and have drive letters assigned in "My Computer" for Windows systems. If so run a cleaning disk through them. If that doesn't work you may try manually cleaning the lens by opening the drive and gently swabbing the lens with alcohol soaked swab. Note that this will void your warranty, so if it is still in effect get it fixed by that route instead. If your drives are not recognized by your operating system, then possibly the IDE cables have become disconnected, devices connected in the wrong order on the cable, or jumpers are improperly set on the drives.
Are Dell Inspiron 1501 drivers compatible with Dell Inspiron 1521?
The machines are very different. While a couple of the components may use the same driver, most are different.
A physical port, as opposed to a virtual or logical port is an interface on a computer into which you can insert a connector for a device.
My computer isn't letting me play game disks what do i do?
you probably need windows xp or maybe its just your computer.maybe you have the kind of computer that doesnt allow u to play games i hope this helps ps:you can download windows xp on the internet

Is a notebook computer the term thin client is often used to describe?
No, it's nothing to do with the physical thickness of the computer. The "thin" refers to how beefy/powerful the box is. So an underpowered desktop is more a thin client than a maxed-out laptop.
Does your processor fan have to work?
Do you mean does it have to run/spin?
Yes, it is very important that this fan works otherwise the core will get too hot. if it gets too hot, you risk damaging (melting) components. most computers have a sensor that will shut off the computer if it gets to hot, but to be on the safe side, i wouldn't use the computer until the fan is replaced.
However, there is the possibility that you are using a passive cooling setup if your computer is fairly old (more than 5 years) in which case, there shouldn't be a fan so its not a problem as long as it has been running fine up until now.
Or, you could have a water cooling setup but if you have to ask about the fan, you probably don't have it water cooled
How do you create a movie server using High Performance Computing?
High Performance Computing (HPC) is a necessity in industries requiring the quick assessment and computation of massive amount of data. However, technological advancements have made it possible to convert HPC to a more accessible format, usable on a wider scale. The result has been the application of HPC in a variety of contexts, including the creation and playback of movies.
Although the possibilities are endless when HPC is combined with movie-making, interested parties continue to find the process complex and overly frustrating. Before movie-related tasks can be accomplished with the use of HPC, a movie server must be set up. Those with HPC servers such as Windows HPC will find solutions in the movie-making workflow in the form of such applications as Interactive Media Manager and other related programs. Also available are encoders, which allow rendered frame sequences to be split up and converted to a more efficient digital format. Again, this process is easy to complete with the download of applications such as the open source HPC video encoder.
The term "Computer hardware" refers to the physical, tangible parts of the computer. The alternative, software exists only as a stream of data and code.
If you can touch it, it is hardware. Ex: monitor, keyboard, mouse and even the hard disk.
the computer hardware is the physical part of the computer system, it includes electronic devices, which have the potential for performing the task of solving a problem. The computer hardware is composed of three main components namely:
- Central Processing Units (CPU)
- Memory units ( Storage devices)
- Inpit/Output devices
computer hardware is every part of a computer you could touch if the computer was disassembled. examples: hard drive disk, memory, mouse, speakers, printer, etc... the "parts" you can't touch are SOFTWARE like for example: internet explorer, windows OS, any computer game or things you install on the computer.
What does DRM compatible mean?
"DRM compatible" means that the device enforces DRM encryption, and doesn't allow you to copy or convert the media in some fashion. For instance, a sound card not allowing you to record sound from it except through a much lower quality connector.
What are vision input devices?
it's the latest input device that can recognize the vision, image, which appear in the range of its lens.

What was the major international corporation that symbolized the early computer and information age?
IBM
Which component on a computer stores permanent instructions which cannot be changed?
The ROM BIOS chip stores permanent instructions. ROM means read-only memory. BIOS means basic input/output system, meaning the very basic instructions needed to power up the computer. From there, the operating system loads.
Chip set
What type of chip is the 74ls48?
A 74 series BCD to 7-segment decoder, converting 4 bit binary values into signals to drive a common anode 7 segment display. Datasheet can be found here:http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheets/70/375646_DS.pdf
What is a key system component?
A component that is key to the operation of the system ;)
In a computer system, most components are key to the operation of the machine as a whole, however some more than others: CPU, Memory, Motherboard are some of the most key components that spring to mind.
In a mechanical system, such as a car - one might consider the engine or the wheels as a key system component.
Kind regards,

Are non eec computer compatible with eec memory?
This varies between motherboard manufacturer's. You would need to contact your motherboard manufacturer e.g ASROCK to find out for sure.
