Why CPU and memory are not connected directly with peripheral devices?
If they were, the devices would all have to have a separate interpreter for the processor and in order to communicate amongst themselves they'd have to go through the processor, which would slow the computer down. If everything is connected to the motherboard and the motherboard interprets everything for the processor, it's cheaper and faster.

Why does my computer make a grinding noise when it turns on?
If you have this problem, you probably have a 1 year old or more computer.
It makes the "grindstone" sound because it is using the fans to cool down the system. However, the fans are worn out, so they make noise. The plastic wore away the inside part of the fan (attached to what spins it) and it bumps around where it's trapped. Simple as that.

How can we replace CMOS battery in a PC?
Most PC motherboards use a coin cell battery as a CMOS battery backup for BIOS settings. Most common battery used for this application is CR3032 and can be easily replaced. You can turn off the computer, remove power cables, open the machine and locate this coin cell on the motherboard and remove old battery from the socket with a plastic tool or your finger nails and then insert a new one in the socket. If using a metal tool/screw driver be careful that you do not short upper and lower side of the coin cell (which can cause a short circuit, can create a spark and will damage the battery).

Which port has the fastest data transfer rate?
Short answer: Just use USB 3.0
Long Answer:
Depends what you mean by "port." As an external port, you would probably want to go with USB 3.0. However, if you want the fastest data transfer rate, you can buy an internal SSD and connect it to the motherboard with Serial ATA. Be careful, because many parts on the inside of a computer are very delicate. Hope this helps.

It is called a block (or sector). The size of the block varies depending upon the size of the disk, advanced preferences (the size of files normally being used on that disk), and the filesystem being used. They normally run from 512Bytes to 64KiB. As disk capacity continues to grow, look for even larger block sizes to come :-)
Can you add another drive to a raid 5?
Do you mean add a disk to an already existing raid array, or can you have more than the 3 disk minimum? Either way, yes you can, though I find if you already have raid 5 setup with 3 disks and you want to add another one you are better off starting it all over from scratch again. As far as I can remember, I may be wrong, but all the disks have to be equal. You cant have a three 40GB drives at 5400rpm and then add in a new drive off 120GB at 7200rpms. And are you using a raid 5 hardware option or software option. If your doing it via hardware you may need to upgrade your disk controller. And dont forget your going to have convert your new disk when you get it. Drives are usually basic, raid5 wont work on a basic disk. Actually you can add disparaging disks to an array but you'll only get the capacity of the existing disks in the array - therefore in the above setup, adding the 120Gb@7200rpm wouldn't give you the capacity of the 120Gb, only an additional 40Gb.
