Megahertz

By "around the house" I assume you mean in every day appearance.

Input: Keyboard, Mouse

Output: Monitor, Printer

yes

Expansion Slot is just like port into which expansion card can be inserted. In otherwords port is female and card is male.

The RAM (Memory)

No, for the slim tower Dell Vostro 200, you will need a specified PATX psu. Only the mini tower can accommodate mATX-ATX psu's.

Two main markets exist for peripherals: (1) devices shipped as part of original equipment manufacturers' (OEM) computer systems and (2) aftermarket upgrades, add-ons, and replacements that are bought separately from computer systems.

A flowchart is a tool for your mind. Like all tools, its value depends on the person using it. It provides one way of describing how you will plan to do a complicated task. A flowchart shows what is done when each decision must be made and when to go to each process as a result. There is a saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." A flowchart gives a picture of the way a particular item will occur. It was originally developed for computer programming. In calculating payroll taxes, the program asks, "Is this person married?" The answer is yes or no. If it is yes, the program goes to one rate. If no, it goes to another rate. The flowchart shows all such yes and no decisions. Following those makes it easier to find mistakes in the program.

I was told by a Guitar Center rep you can not daisy chain two MBOX PROS's

Is this true?

The speed can be determined in various ways. The clock speed of the processor, the speed of the hard drive, the speed of the bus carrying information from the processor to the memory and the speed of the memory.

dual or quad core processors running at more than 2.5 Ghz is fast

a hard drive that has a spindle speed of 7500 to 10,000 RPMs is fast

1066 or 2000 Mhz of front side bus is fast

800 Mhz or more memory speed is fast

The advantage of an image scanner is that it allows you to send images to people quickly. The disadvantage is that it may not always send clear pictures.

The properties that are desirable in a computer will depend on what you need it for. If you want it to play games, you will want a good video and audio card.

Define "minimum." Are you referring to cheapest? Easiest? number of individual pieces of hardware?

Fixed point overflow, Floating point overflow, Floating point underflow, etc.

A "Hub".

A jumper is used to complete a circuit on a motherboard or other device and thus signal a certain mode of operation, such as "the BIOS should be in recovery mode" or "this hard drive is the Master device."

A digital pen is little more than a stylus with more advanced features. Like a stylus, it is meant to be used with a tablet of some sort, but may also have multiple buttons and a blunt end which can be used as a digital eraser.

The smart quill is a proposed device which can be used as a normal pen, even writing on paper, but can also record the movments and thus writing digitally to be retrieved later on a computer system.

It should be noted that as of 2009, the smart quill has not progressed beyond the conceptual phase and is not commercially available whereas digital pens have been in production by companies like Wacom for years.

Modulator/Demodulator.

The colored lid on the Inspiron 1545 can be replaced with a lid of another color. It's not that hard for someone that knows what they are doing. You have to be able to follow directions, use common sense and handle tools. But, if you are trying to find a "Switch Lid" or a plastic snap on or slide on accessory, the answer is no (based on my own personal search for my daughter's Inspiron 1545). There's several companies that will sell you a "Skin" which is similar to a sticker which is made to fit your machine perfectly. Of those, probably SKINIT is probably the most reasonable. If you know someone that has worked on a laptop before - perhaps replaced hinges or an LCD panel, that person could surely do it. BEWARE: anytime you fuss with the LCD area, you run the risk of cracking the panel. If you're going to replace the lid, I suggest you replace the hinges, too. It will make the laptop close more securely.

CFM is a unit of flow

PSI is a unit of pressure

you cant equate these except to say that they are inversely proportional... as pressure increases flow decreases

the gas that is emitted from a cooker is poisonous, if it leaks out and the cooker has not ignited, it could potentially kill you, also "obviously" gas is extremely flammable.

it appears that an SCSI cable can be installed in either direction. If not, then it will

1. not be able to be installed the wrong way

2. not work. you will simply have to switch it; no damage should be done

yes it is stored in CMOS
