What is a processor card and what does it do?
At the heart of every computer is one or more processors. While some hand held devices like mobile phones have the processor fixed to the main circuit board there are computers that allow you to change the number and speed of the processors in the computer. This versatility is done by fixing the processor to a business card sized card. This card is called a processor card
The function of a bios battery is basically to reset your bios if something goes wrong and you corrupt it. Bios batteries usually contain a little bit of information on them. Therefore, when you remove a bios battery, it goes back to default settings.
**Note**
removing a bios battery is usually a last resort to reset your bios. There are several other ways to reset your bios such as a jumper cable or (included in some never motherboards,) a reset bios switch.
What are the advantages of ordinary twisted pair compared to the shielded ones?
Twisted pair wire is placed inside a thin metallic shielding, similar to aluminum foil, and is then enclosed in an outer plastic casing. The shielding provides further electrical isolation of the signal-carrying pair of wires. Shielded twisted pair wires are less susceptible to electrical interference caused by nearby equipment or wires and, in turn, are less likely to cause interference themselves. Because it is electrically "cleaner," shielded twisted pair wire can carry data at a faster speed than unshielded twisted pair wire can.
The disadvantage of shielded twisted pair wire is that it is physically larger and more expensive than twisted pair wire, and it is more difficult to connect to a terminating block.

How many devices can be daisy chained from one usb?
A personal computer external bus standard which can support up to 127 peripheral devices in a daisy chain configuration, can support plug-and-play (hot plugging), and has a total bandwidth of 1.5 megabytes per second. what are these devices?
Not much information to start with, but this is a start that most people could do.
Start with the basics;
- boot in safemode and run a chkdsk from prompt
- run a virus scan
- if an application was installed before the hang, uninstall in safemode
- try a system restore to a date prior to the problem
- boot from CD and run a recovery
- restore from backup (if you backed up your system)
- if you have an image, revert back to it.
A port replicator is used in docking stations for laptops to increase or extend the number of ports available for use and minimise the need to plug / unplug cables when removing the laptop from a desk.
A port replicator may also allow for additional hardware such as a CD / DVD or Bluray drive for which there may not be space in the laptop.
What is the difference between General Processor and DSP?
DSP's are mainly based on Harvard architecture to perform task faster with hard wired instructions as compared to Microcontrollers which are mainly available with von neumann architecture (some microcontrollers like PIC is an exception).
The DSP can compute the numerical parts of your application faster than the microcontroller can. Because that's what it's designed to do. You might also find that DSPs have more of the "right sort" of integrated peripherals, compared to microcontrollers.
Is a scanner a in or out device?
It is an input device. Like other input devices, it takes information so it can be processed/stored. An output device, on the other hand, takes care of the displaying or presenting of already processed/stored information.
How do you move photos from memory card to flash drive?
==Windows== One needs to plug the flash card into the computer in some way. If it is USB, simply plug it into the USB port in the back or front of your tower. If it is an SD card, you'll need a "Card Reader" in order to put it in. Most USB flash drives are "Plug & Play" in that they should install within 10 minutes of being plugged in to the PC. After, head on over to "My Computer" and you should see a "Removable Disk Drive" or "Removable Drive" or similair, open the drive as you would a folder (double click it) and drag and drop files. ==Mac== A USB icon will appear on your desktop after the flash drive is plugged in. It looks similair to a Hard Disk icon but is white. Open it, and drag and drop files onto it.

What are the advantages of ATX over baby AT?
ATX improves upon AT by making adding and removing components easier, providing greater support for I/O devices and processor technology, and lowering cost.
What input device is used when drawing a cartoon?
mouse if using simple graphics software like paint or photoshop or a keyboard if using maths to plot x y and z co ordinates like CAD (Computer Aided Design)
How can you tell what BIOS your computer has?
The AMI or Award BIOS id appears at the bottom of your screen after power on, during memory count up. The PAUSE key should work at that point, allowing you to write down the BIOS number, the BIOS date, and the version. You must copy it exactly. Another (easier) way to get the Award/AMI BIOS ID is by downloading the BIOS Agent Plus software which will scan your PC and return your BIOS ID among other hardware information.

How do you open the case on a dell deskop computer?
Disconnect power and video cables from monitor. Place screen on table, back side up. Remove 4 Phillips head screws that hold the stand to the back of the monitor case, and remove stand (base). Flip monitor case up, screen facing you and bottom up. On the bottom edge by the two corners, approximately 1-1/2 inches from the sides, there is a small rectangular slot between the screen bezel and the main case. Start on the right side (not side with power switch) and insert a flat blade screwdriver in the slot and give it a twist clockwise, prying the bezel corner off the case.
Observe the plastic clip on the bezel with three holes in it to the right of the slot as you pry open off bezel. There are four more clips like that one on the bottom edge of the bezel. Insert a sharply pointed knife (a steak knife or similar) between the bezel's surface and the case's inner surface, and slide it to the left, pushing the point toward the other clips. They will pop open as you go. Next, do the same on each side, and finally on the top edge. This will completely loosen the bezel from the case.
There is a small printed circuit board with the power and other control switches and it's cable to the monitor's chassis, mounted on the bezel by three small Phillips head screws. Unscrew them and remove the board from the bezel. Now you can lift the entire chassis out of the rear case.
To access the inverter/power supply printed circuit board and others, remove the small screw in the cover shield and slide it in the opposite direction of the arrow and remove the cover. Do the same for the other cover (no screw there), to gain access to the plugs underneath. Carefully unplug the 4 CCFL cables, and make note of their positions and color orientation. Unplug the large LCD panel cable by squeezing the sides of the plug and pulling on the plug (not the cables) to free it. After removing the two screws on each side of the chassis, you can remove the LCD panel from the chassis cover, exposing the inverter/power supply and VGA input boards. Place the panel in a safe place to prevent damage. You are now ready to make repairs!

A microprogram is a program that is consisted of micro code, which is the lowest level language possible on a computer. Microcode is even more low level than machine code and acts a platform for machine code to run on top of, directing the physical operations of the processor by itself.
Why is correct data entry important?
The speed of production today makes the accessibility of precise, comprehensive information an absolute essential. Whether your corporation is multi-national or just starting off, the more you know about markets, customers, or clients; the better you can track results, measure efficiency, and analyze data; and the faster you have vital information, the better your results will be. This holds good for corporations, physicians, attorneys, automobile manufacturers, hospitals, marketing companies, and just about any other business you can imagine that needs information fast. Businesses are always looking for the information that will help them run day-to-day operations or to plan for the development of future growth. Customer satisfaction surveys are a constant of modern life as are comment cards, coupon mailers, and contests. Some companies can be virtually overwhelmed by the amount of data entry required just to keep things moving. This can be especially true of medical facilities, insurance groups, collection agencies, and marketing companies.

How do you add new hardware to a computer?
Just follow the directions that come with the hardware. Every piece of hardware I have added in the last 20 years had instructions on how to install the hardware. Be sure to read them COMPLETELy before starting to install anything.
This ASSUMES the person has the documentation. If you want a more specific answer, then the question needs to be more specific as to which hardware that one is installing.
