How do you wire altec lansing acs410 speakers to PC?
If this is the same acs 410 i have...i have the subwoofer running the power...it plugs into the wall...and a purple and power wire running from the sub to the smaller speakers (satellites). then a tan wire connecting the two satellites. Then another 1/8 " headphone style jack going from the main satellite's "A" hookup to the computers green sound out jack. If you don't have the sub setup with this...and don't have a wall power pack...you will have to track one down...or the sub unit. BTW i love these...even though they are big...they sound nice. It can separate dolby sounds out the sides if you turn the surround knob on. When off it works like a normal pair of speakers. With my sub in the corner...it puts out some nice bass if you don't push it too hard.
What are the different colors of ps2 ports?
According the the PC97 standard, PS/2 ports are to be colored green for mice and purple for keyboards. Not all manufacturers follow this guideline, so it may not be unusual to find a purple mouse port and an orange keyboard port, for instance. Prior to the PC97 standard few PS/2 ports were colored at all, so one had to look closely to identify the correct port.
What are minimum parts needed to build a networked computer?
A motherboard with an ethernet port, a hard drive (with installed OS), processor, graphics processor, monitor, keyboard+mouse. Oh and a case to put the stuff in.
The computer "buss" is a "wide" communication device within each computer that allows transfer of data to different components. Obviously, some method must be employed to control what devices can transfer data at any given time.
A device sets an "interrupt" flag when it has data to transfer and through interrupt management, each device is eventually given the opportunity to send data across the buss.
Buss control is a complex issue and not one that can be adequately discussed in this type of a forum. Computer engineering courses cover the subject in much greater detail.
How namy pci slots can you insert in PC?
You cannot actually insert pci slots into a PC since pci slots come inbuilt on the motherboard. so the no. of pci slots u have depends on the motherboard.
CMR cable is Communications Riser cable. It is used in risers or shafts from floor to floor and only a riser or plenum (CMP) cable may be used for that purpose. Though CMP can be used in lieu of CMR, you cannot use CMR in a plenum space. CMR and CMP are fire resistance classifications. CM is for general purpose that may be used elsewhere not requiring special fire code considerations.
RAID stands for "Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks". RAID can increase performance and/or data redundancy and/or capacity. There are many different RAID types, the most common being RAID 0 (stripe), RAID 1 (mirror) and RAID 5 (stripe with parity).
RAID works by combining two or more hard disks.
In a RAID 0 (stripe) array, data is split equally between the number of disks in the array. For example, when a 2 MB file is written to a RAID 0 array with two hard drives, the file is split in to two parts and 1 MB of data is written to each hard drive. This increases capacity and performance, but sharply decreases redundancy since only one of the drives needs to fail for all information to be lost.
In a RAID 1 (mirror) array, a complete copy is written to each hard drive in the array. Capacity and performance stay the same, but redundancy is increased. As long as one drive works, you will not lose data.
In a RAID 5 (stripe with parity) array, you need at least three hard drives. Files are split up to all but one of the drives (similar to RAID 0) and a parity bit is written to the last drive. This increases performance, capacity and redundancy. Performance is not as good as RAID 0, but still better than RAID 1. Redundancy is not as good as RAID 1, but is still quite reliable. Capacity is the sum of all but one of the drives.
There are other RAID levels, but they are not as common.
RAID support simply means that whatever device is being described supports RAID. Nearly anything supports RAID. The only computer component that "RAID support" would be relevant to would be a computer motherboard or an IDE or SATA controller.
USB stands for "Universal Serial Bus". It was designed to be a common, easy way to connect a very wide variety of devices to a computer. USB has replaced the PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, printer ports, DB9 serial ports, external SCSI, and many, many other device buses. USB can be used for just about anything.
If you are talking about a software application required for USB, there is none. Device drivers are required for USB operation, but those are usually generic and can be found on your manufacturer's webpage.

What is Inferior But Marketable?
Tjob ofThe thinking behind this is that was that IBM produced inferior products,but did a better job of marketing them than competitor companies that produced superior IT products.
There are only three major blocks to a computer so the diagram is very simple. The ALU,I/O,PROCESSOR.
How many hours would it take to use 5120 mb of internet wireless card?
Well you shouldn't use that up in a month unless you acctualy stream high def movies over the internet. That is 5 gbs of data. The amount of normal downloads will never bring you that close. But not P2P sharing.

What is used to increase the volume of a musical instrument?
An Amplifier is used to increase the volume of an electrical musical instrument by boosting the signal of the instrument and "amplifying" it through a speaker system.
How do you force a drive to remap bad sectors without losing any other data?
If you are using Windows 2000, XP or Vista (or variants):
To locate bad sectors and attempt to recover data on drive letter C,
Click start, click run, then type "chkdsk c: /r /f"
A black command prompt window should pop up. It will ask you if you'd like to schedule a chkdsk on the next restart. Answer yes. Restart.
This process should remap bad sectors.
What is the main function of a Socket 478 Connector?

What is the role of a jumper or switch?
On a motherboard or peripheral card jumpers and switch banks are used for configuring various parameters on the circuit board.
For instance, older peripheral cards needed to be told at what address, IRQ and DMA that they needed to be. The reason for this was because other cards that they already installed might already be using those resources. You cannot have multiple devices at the same address. On rare occasions, things could share IRQs or DMAs, but never at the same time. So you had the option to change the addresses and other resources used by the device so there would be no conflicts between the devices.
Older motherboards had to be configured as to what bus speed and CPU multiplier to use, so jumpers and switches served this purpose. Newer boards tend to get that information directly from the CPU or they get it from the CMOS.
Jumpers can also be used as bypasses, such as allowing the speaker socket on the back to work when the front panel socket wires are not attached. So if you don't attach the wires, you leave the jumpers in the speak header in place.

Where is the print screen key located on a compaq presario v5000?
It is on the right-top of ur keyboard, beside the "F10" button. Maybe named "Pr Scrn".
If u wanna capture anything on the screen, i think the print screen button couldnot help u, press this button, u only get the full screen capture. So i recommend u try PCHand Screen Caputre. It could help u capture anything. Im using it, it is easy to use, even for a novice. I think it is pretty good. Hope it could help.
