Are amplifiers input or output devices?

An amplifier is both an input and output device. An amplifier, as its name suggests, amplifies a signal, meaning that it makes it stronger. An amplifier takes something as input, like maybe a sound signal, and its output is a more powerful (or louder) version of the same signal.

Why does my webcam make a weird noise when I talk to friends?

your web cam makes a weird noise because of the web cam not you the web cam mic normally has a bit of a bad pick up so the more money you spend on it the less of the noise it will make. so if you speak clearly it will not make as much of a problem

What is fire wire port?

It is the Apple branded version of the IEEE1394 serial isochronous data interface. It is mostly oriented to high speed data transmission between computers and peripherals, and it performs very well on digital video, High definition video and other high speed demanding data exchange. Other uses are Audio, Automotive data and Aeronautics. It can be found also under other names, like iLink from Sony.

How do you hookup a non WiFi computer to the internet?

You can connect it through a traditional network cable. The computer needs a network card for that.

It is still possible to get dial-up service over a telephone line. You can search for a local ISP (Internet Service Provider) that still supports dial-up access. Net-Zero is one such company. This requires a modem port on your computer. (don't confuse with an ethernet port, the connectors look similar, but the ethernet connector is wider than the phone line connector).

On a windows system you can check for a Modem or Network adapter with the Windows Device Manager.

If you have a Network adapter, usually some ethernet controller, you can get ADSL or a cable modem. If you don't have a network adapter (with an ethernet port). You could buy one.

ADSL service uses your phone line, it splits the signal so you can use your phone and computer at the same time. Contact your local ISP.

A cable modem, is provided by some TV cable services.

With both ADSL and a cable modem service connect to your ethernet port.

If you have USB ports you can buy a WiFi adapter and plug into a USB port on your computer. (You can also buy a WiFi card and plug into your computer chassis. This will require that you have access to a wireless network. You can buy a ADSL modem with wireless, or add a wireless access point to your ADSL or cable modem.

3G service is available, but expensive.

Summary, find a local ISP, they can help you.

Dial-up is very slow, and not very useful, downloading pictures, updates, new software is very, very slow.

Think about adding wireless to your computer via a card or USB adapter. It means no ugly cables to manage, can handle multiple computers.

What is ROM BIOS chip?

Read only memory basic international operating system

What are the input and output of nervous system?

I may not be a scientist..but my common sense says , input for nervous system are actions such as ,

1) seeing
2) hearing
3) breathing
4) tasting and,
5) feeling

and out put of that can be generally said as "re-action" and if you can see the physical evidence of the output or not depends upon two factor

1) persons openness or control over expressing re-action
2) your ability to evaluate ( judge ) the reaction

and yeah, re-actions in this case doesn't have to be equal and opposite , it can be in favour can be more hyper or less hyper based on how sensitive / emotional person is

i guess am done...sue me if am wrong ;) (no not really am just kidding about suing part)

What is more important to computer hardware or software?

Both are vital and inseparable to a computer. Without software, the computer cannot do any useful work. Without hardware, the software has nothing to run it.

Is 8.7 mb bigger then 514 KB?

Yes - a lot bigger. m means mega or million. k is kilo or thousand. 514 is 0.5mb

Can 2.53 Ghz processor run Dawn of War 2?

It depends how many cores it has, according to the system requirements you need:
P4 3.2 GHz (single core) or any Dual Core processor

so if it has more than one core, you should be okay.

How long is information stored on the RAM?

To answer this question adequately, one must understand that information (on "computer chips", such as RAM, anyways) is kept using electrical charges, which are usually held in place by a battery of some sort. RAM does not have a battery, so it can only keep information until you turn off and/or unplug the computer. Also, since RAM is somewhat limited in size, it can only keep information until it is overwritten with new information. So if you do not turn off your computer, the time which it takes for the information on RAM to be overwritten (removed) will depend on A:the time you leave your computer on,
B:your operating system (and the amount of background activity associated with it)
C:how much stuff you do on your computer in any given time,
and
D: the amount of RAM you have in your computer.

Why is better vga or analog rgb?

VGA IS analog RGB. The two are one and the same. There are some minor differences in the way the signals are handled: VGA uses two separate synchronisation lines, one for horizontal and one for vertical pulses. Broadcast signals tend to use a single sync line or even add the sync signals to the green signal. VGA and its derivatives, SVGA, XGA, SXGA etc may also be generated at a variety of frame and line frequencies rather than broadcast rates.

Other than that, VGA uses 1V signals, terminated into 75 ohm loads at the end of the transmission line in exactly the same way as broadcast standard RGB signals.


The quality of the image produced is dependent on the resolution in use as the picture is generated. VGA is the same resolution as standard definition television, SXGA is similar in resolution to HD images. UXGA is a higher resolution than HD.


Analog RGB is normally carried on three or four separate coax cables. VGA is carried in a single cable and normally the individual conductors are smaller and less robust than separate cables. VGA signals will often be affected by long cable runs while separately cabled RGB signals typically can be carried far greater distances before the signal deteriorates noticeably.


NOTE: for clarification, analog RGB is NOT the same as component signals. Although both use three lines, component is a different format to RGB and the two are not compatible.

Are dell printers and epson printers the same?

The answer is yes and no. First of off, inkjet, laserjet printers utilize the same printing technology. Do they create the same quality prints - that all depends on what type of printer you want to buy. There are so many models that have a variety of different features, it is hard to say either one is better than the other one.

In general for inkjet printers, Epson is the better manufacturer. For laserjets, Dell is the better brand. Epson does not make many lasers and focuses their products on the inkjet printers.

My suggestion is to figure out what type of printing you will be doing and then research specific printer models. Just because Epson makes good inkjet printers, does not mean that every single model is flaw proof.

What type of Device would use an 80-pin connector?

SCSI Harddrive:

80-pin Connector
The SCA interface was designed to provide a standard connection for systems using hot swappable drives. SCA interface drives connect to a SCSI backplane that provides power, configuration settings such as SCSI ID, and termination of the SCSI bus.

Is recharging while using bad for the laptop battery?

No. When a laptop is plugged in, it immediately switches to AC power and begins charging the battery. The battery cannot become "overcharged" because special circuitry in the battery is designed to prevent this.

Is 483.846 megabytes equal a gigabyte?

No. A gigabyte is equal to 1024 megabytes. 1GB=1024MB

  • Bit --The smallest unit. It can only represent the values 1 and 0.
  • Byte --8 bits.
  • Kilobyte (KB) --1024 bytes.
