Chipset drivers are software that enables the operating system to use the features of the corresponding chipset.

The screen resolution(in pixels), the number of colors, and the enhancements to the color information affect how much video RAM is needed for a video card. Pg 389 of A+ Guide to managing your pc, 6th edition.

the Intel is integrated into the motherboard and the radeon is separate is the visual difference....the latest integrated gpu's are still weaker than cards from 2001 from companys like ati or nvidia......

The smart UPS notifies the computer when power is switched to battery, it also notifies the computer when the battery is almost discharged and the UPS won't be able to keep going. A smart UPS can allow the computer enough time to shut down gracefully, without losing data.

A smart UPS can be controlled by software from a computer, a UPS smart have a serial port or USB connections to the PC and a microprocessor on board. The ones are not smart provides backup power in the event that AC fails completely is a heavy box that plugs into a AC outlet and provides one or more outlets for the computer and its peripherals, it has an on/off switch, requires no maintenance, and is very simple to install. A Smart UPS can be controlled by software; a Non-Smart UPS cannot be.

A smart UPS has the capability to interface with the computer system which is plugged into it. This is generally done with a serial or USB connection. The smart UPS comes with software which will give the user information on the status of the UPS and batteries and can automatically trigger shutdown sequence whenever it detects a power loss.
A SmartUps is just the name of the model of an UPS made by the company APC. They have the SmartUps series with different model numbers: SmartUps 3000, SmartUps 2200XL, etc. This does not imply that the UPS is smarter, or better than any other brand of UPS.

The simple answer is "Yes", but that answer also depends on exactly what happened to the hardware at the time of the power surge.

In many cases, replacing the power supply might be enough to bring everything else back up. However, if the surge was enough to send power beyond the breakers in the power supply, then the extra power might have gone through the devices connected to the supply, including the main system board, hard drives, etc.

Yes a chip (processor, RAM, BIOS, etc. are all chips) is considered a piece of hardware.

Compact Discs were introduced in the early '80s to replace 8-Track and cassette tape formats.

Most newer hardware is using USB ports, however much of the legacy hardware uses older RS232 or parallel communication. They are all just different communication protocols and different hardware manufacturers selected whatever protocol THEY felt would be best for their application.

Just about everything is USB now. It's far more flexible.

i think cleanthis virus,CleanThis is determined by Tee Support Labs as fake security software that updated from the notorious ThinkPoint. CleanThis has the same fake features as Thinkpoint,it usually spread via Trojan that can enters a computer without any permission and content. Once active, as Unknown/Win32 misleading alert will pop up at the desktop to scare innocents users. CleanThis is going to perform fake system scan and show lots of infections that are not existent at all.If you believe this, then CleanThis is going to scare you to buy its license to get rid of all the fake infections. Certainly, what you need to do is ignore the message of CleanThis. Since CleanThis has high risk for the system, you should remove CleanThis once it's detected on a computer.

The operating system is the essential software component for your PC. Without it, it is difficult (or impossible) for all other software and hardware devices to operate. Some of problems that you may face are: 1. The control of I/O (input/output) devices on your system. 2. Controlling and allocating the amount of memory that your system has. 3. Using your system and hardware as intended. 4. Problems with networking. 5. Inability to manage and manipulate files and other data.

BlueCat Linux is a distribution aimed at embedded systems (self-contained devices). Typically, you would find this distribution used in devices like MP3 players, print servers, etc., and would not be installed on your computer for general use.

I opened the 500gb external and found a Seagate Barracuda drive to my surprise.

If it is a resistive touch screen you can just use an ADC to interpret input (or an analog pin on your micro controller). Chips designed to interface directly with a touchscreen usually use SPI or UART or I2C to communicate, so just check the data-sheet on the controller, and you should be able to get it working. If it is a capacitive screen it will be harder, especially since, as far as I know most capacitive screens have a built in controller, and are usually difficult to work with.

hope that helps

Just as electric cable transmits electric line power from the transmission center to receiving station so the data cable in digital communication transmits the encoded binary digits from a digital transmission system to a digital receiving system.

DPI - is an acronym for 'dots per inch'. It usually relates to the resolution of the printed output from printers, or the input resolution of scanners.

A restarting of the computer will completely clear the random memory (RAM) whereas just logging off will mostly clear the RAM. From a performance aspect, restart is better than logoff.

If you're concerned about security, both are equal.

If you have Vista or XP then there's no need to pay for special software, such as Ghost or even download the free Gparted & burn a live CD for your Windows system.

Simply use the "Disk Management" software that comes with Vista and XP. For Vista go to Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Create & Format Hard Disk Partitions This will start Disk Manager. Select the Maxtor hard drive by right clicking the lower section of the panel in the Maxtor section. Select Shrink Volume from the drop down menu Choose your size and OK Next right click the newly created empty space and select Create Partition, specify the size you want etc and then select Format and OK (NOTE: nothing seems to happen and no popup window tells you formatting has begun, just wait a minute or two and you should see the Format % change to 1% or 2%, do not logout, disconnect Maxtor drive etc until finished.) Your new partition is now ready for business.

Warning: BACKUP EVERYTHING on your OneTouch disk BEFORE you attempt to partition it!!!!

If like me you have a Acer with Vista pre installed and no Vista disk but don't want to waste the other half of your C drive by letting the useless eRecovery software create an image of your C drive on your D drive then I suggest using OO softwares DiskImage that actually allows you to backup to the location YOU want!!! It's often available on PC magazine cover disks free or download the older versions free at http://www.oo-software.com/home/en/download/archive/ or get the latest version at very reasonable prices (US $30) from their Products section I used DiskImage 2 (Special Edition), it worked fine on Vista

Hi,

Input/output devices have been around since the inception of electronics, in one form or another. There would be no reasoning to having a device input, without having an output of some type, or a function for it to complete.

In computerese, it's a device that has the capability ot either input data or output data on demand.

Hope this helps to clear up some of the mystery.
