How much gold is in a computer processor?
Not much, since the gold is typically just a thin plate over copper traces. Printed circuit gold is usually only one or two mils thick and you'd need several boards to make up an ounce of gold. It IS worth it, but you'd need to process several boards to make it worth your time and effort.
What is electronic data processing?
The example of electronic data processing is the use of the computer in processing data.
What are 3 benefits of computers?
Lot of them to state. please advice what exactly are you looking for. If there were no computers, we would have been interacting on WIKI
ANSWER: Where to start and where to finish for the benefits. perform arithmetic. make logical decisions, communication withe the whole world, control machines at precise points. Allow information to be seen instantly and on and on. Unfortunately is a dumb animal it is as smart as the MAN that programs it thank go. Huh
Who invented the biggest and heaviest computer in the world and how heavy was it?
ibm fsq-7 would be the answer
ARPA in essence is an ADVANCE RADAR PROGRAMMING ACTUATOR use in navigation in a highly technological advantage. It is widely use in aircrafts air-navigation and aboard vessel ships, perhaps even on space capsule crafts.
MS-DOS was created by Microsoft, who bought the rights to 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products in 1981 and modified it to IBM's specifications who then released it as PC-DOS 1.0. It was also released as MS-DOS to run on PCs. MS-DOS went through eight revisions and was finally discontinued in 2000.
Who is credited for the conceiving and designing of ENIAC?
Mauchly was the idea man Eckert was the architect and head designer. There were about 6 other designers that did specific units.
Why did Charles Babbage choose to invent the computer?
He was tired of being a human computer and having to error check other human computer's results.
The basic element in a computer can be an electromagnetic relay, a vacuum tube, or a transistor.All three of these can function as switches which are electrically controlled.A computer can use small and cheap vacuum tubes or transistors; while its components need to be reliable, they don't need to be high-quality in all respects. One transistor logic family, ECL (emitter-coupled logic), used in many of the highest-speed computers, takes advantage of the fact that a transistor can respond more quickly to its input if it does not have to go all the way from a fully-on state to a fully-off state.
What was the first computer program bill Gates created?
No. Computer programs were being written regularly and running on computers in the US, UK, and much of Europe before he was born. He was still eating baby food and learning to talk when IBM was developing the first formal standard for large scale software development teams.
Who invented the punch card method of storing numbers?
Some claim that it was Hollerith, but he only used an existing technology for a different application.

Claims are that Joseph-Marie Jacquard invented the punch card. http://www.maxmon.com/1800ad.htm
When did Charles Babbage invent the abacus?
While Charles Babbage did invent a calculator as well as what is considered the first programmable computer, he did not invent the abacus. This basic counting tool was invented in China around 3000 B.C. Babbage most certainly would have known of the abacus, indeed he likely would have used one himself, but it is not a tool of his original design.
What is the unit of random access memory?
Random access memory (usually known by its acronym, RAM) is a type of computer data storage. It takes the form of integrated circuits that allow the stored data to be accessed in any order - that is, at random and without the physical movement of the storage medium or a physical reading head. RAM is a volatile memory as the information or instructions stored in it will be lost if the power is switched off.

Did the ancient Egyptians invent the computer?
According to the Greek historian Herodotus ancient Egyptians used abacus.
Who was the first person to design a computer keyboard?
The design for the keyboard was taken from the typewriter (as it is the predecessor for the computer). The Qwerty keyboard was designed by Christopher Sholes. It was meant to eliminate jamming.
Today however, we have an array of designs available to us. Companies have created their own design, while others even create custom keyboards to fit anyone's personal needs.
Who was the inventor of motherboard?
Like other early computer inventions, there is no single inventor of the motherboard. The early computers each had their own version of a motherboard.
A 1973 Federal Court ruling officially credited Dr. John V. Atanasoff with this invention?
Legally in the US he is considered the inventor of the first electronic digital computer. It was not programmable, it was designed specifically to solve linear simultaneous equations of up to 29 variables.
Is ARM11 a Von Neumann or Harvard architecture?
It depends what ARM you're talking about. The ARM7 uses the Van Neumann bus architecture (one bus for both data and instructions, and never both at the same time). The ARM9 uses a Harvard bus architecture (separate buses, one each for data and instructions).
What was the purpose of making the first electronic computer?
The first electronic computer, the Atanasoff Berry Computer, was invented because Doctor John Vincent Atanasoff at the University of Iowa in Ames Iowa had too many large difficult to solve systems of simultaneous equations. The machine was invented one night in a bar in Indiana where Atanasoff had gone to get away and the ideas started coming together. It was built between 1939 and 1942. Atanasoff designed it to solve systems of simultaneous equations of up to 29 variables, because this would handle most of his problems without having to make the machine too big (it came out about the size of an office desk).
Where are Dell computers made?
•Austin, Texas, Nashville , Tennessee , Winston-Salem , North Carolina , Eldora do , and Brazil also a lot of other places too.
Dell PC's are mostly, if not all made in China
What is the name of the man that invented the first computer?
The answer to this question depends of your definition of a computer. The first known counting devices or tools were Tally Sticks from about 35,000 BC. The Abacus was then invented by the Babylonians in 2400 BC. In 1837, Charles Babbage, a British professor of mathematics described his idea for the Analytical Engine, the first stored-program mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine was designed to be powered by a steam engine and was to use Punched Cards, which was used to program mechanical looms at the time. What made the Analytical Engine unique was that it was designed to be programmed. It was because of this and the fact that it would be more than 100 years that any similar devices would be constructed, Charles Babbage, would be considered by many as the "father of computing". Because of legal, financial, and political obstacles, the Analytical Machine would never be completed. Charles Babbage was also difficult to work with and alienated the supporters of his work. In 1939, John V. Atanasoff and Clifford Berry developed the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) at Iowa State University, which was regarded as the first electronic digital computer. The ABC was built by hand and the design used over 300 Vacuum Tubes and had capacitors fixed in a mechanically rotating drum for memory. The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), constructed in the US in 1943, is widely regarded as the first functionally useful electronic general-purpose computer. Influenced by the ABC, it was a turning point in the history of computing and was used to perform ballistics trajectory calculations and used 160 kW of power. World War II is known to be the driving force of computing hardware development and one of such use of computers was in communications encryption and decryption. The UNIVAC I (Universal Automatic Computer) was the first commercially available, "mass produced" electronic computer manufactured by Remington Rand in the USA and was delivered to the US Census Bureau in June 1951. It used 5,200 vacuum tubes and consumed 125 kW of power. 46 machines were sold at more than $1 million each. The microprocessor eventually led to the development of the microcomputer, small, low-cost computers that individuals and small businesses could afford. By the 1990s, the microcomputer or Personal Computer (PC) became a common household appliance, and became even more widespread with the advent of the Internet. SOURCE: bigsiteofamazingfacts.com
What is the cost of the first generation of computer?
osborn 1 the name of computer its cost is $1795
When did an electronic device -computer first originate?
Well, it depends what your definition of computers are. During World War 2, radar and other resources like that were used. But The "PC" we know today- Originated around the 60's-70's, and the technology really took off in the late 90's due to Bill Gates, Netscape, and all of the internet pioneers who worked countless hours improving the PC and the internet especcially.
When was the computer folder invented?
The first computer files were invented in 1948 or 1949 at Eekert Machley Computer Company for the UNIVAC computer. The data of these files was the same as had previously been maintained on punched cards for use on electromechanical unit record machines since 1890. However to permit processing the file data at "electronic speeds" it was instead recorded magnetically on nickel plated brass tape.
