A CPU performance can be measured in?
GHz
Wrong. The performance of a CPU is measured in MiPs or MFLOPS
The clock speed of a processor is in GHz, but does next to nothing in determining the actual performance of a processor. A 4GHz pentium 4 can't even shake a stick at a modern-day processor clocked at 3GHz.

Stack overflow is a "bug", either in some software you have installed or something on the webpage. It could also be a coding error or a combination of a few different things.

Technically which is best laptop brand for student?
Well the Compaq Presario V5000 Z has a great price and all the features that a student would need.
I stick a paper clip into the hole somewhere on the laptop for an emergency reset when the computer is frozen. The hole positions vary but they seem to be on all the laptops I have used. I also just hold down the start button until it stops Windows and turns off the power. Not a good way to shut down but sometimes needed. Then wait 30 seconds and press the button again to restart.
Why does your laptops mouse freeze?
you might be clicking to often or messing around...
sometimes the games you are on like flash games, cause everything to slow down !!
Answer
Try rebooting your computer--you may have exceeded its capabilities and need to release the memory. If that doesn't work, then check out the mouse.
First, try replacing the battery, if you have a wireless mouse. Also remove and replace the "dongle" in the USB port. If your mouse is not wireless, check that it is plugged in.
If none of this works, try using your mouse with another computer, or use a different mouse. Either of these actions may give you more information, indicating where the problem lies.
What are the different data recovery methods?
Some damage can be repaired by replacing parts in the hard disk which may make the disk usable. Also a specialized disk-imaging procedure is used to recover every readable bit from the surface. Once the image is acquired and saved on a reliable medium, it can be analyzed and most data can be recovered.

What are the 5 ways to identify a CPU?
On your motherboard, find the biggest fan that appears to be directly connected to it. It should say Intel or AMD unless you use a custom heat sink. Remove it. There should be a square cover. Lift it off. There should be a little square chip under it. That is the processor. WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE BOTTOM OF THE PROCESSOR NO MATTER WHAT OR YOU COULD RUIN IT.
Explain why legacy systems may be critical to the operation of a business?
Many companies still use legacy systems. Examples of legacy systems include programs like accounting programs that still run under DOS or custom-written software that has not been updated to support later operating systems.
Additionally, many companies don't upgrade as soon as new technology is available, either due to budget restraints or a (justified) fear that new operating systems would be "buggy".
Additionally, upgrading say from Microsoft Windows XP to Microsoft Vista prove cost prohibitive because of the additional processing power that Vista requires when compared to XP. So a company would not only have to absorb the cost of new OS licenses, but new hardware as well when their older systems wouldn't run the new OS.
Then, of course, will the software that they are running (for example their accounting software) run on Vista? When Vista was first released, there was a serious lack of drivers for hardware.
So legacy systems are out there, and are necessary for businesses who are running legacy software, older hardware, or simply don't have the budget to replace equipment and operating systems all at once.
Why dont all buses on a mother board operate at the same speed?
Well in theory would you go 60mph on a school zone? probably not....
Let me put it to you this way.... You can go in the express way at a roughly 60-70mph with no problem this speed makes sure all vehicles are moving at a constant speed and they will most likely not have to stop for red lights.
Now what if you go at 60mph at a school zone? you will have many accidents you will have to go at least 20mph a slow speed in case kids cross the street.
all the busses are like roads each with its own speed limit to make sure things are running smoothly.
PLAYSTATION 3 Hard Drive upgrades
Must be a SATA 2.5" 9.5mm laptop hard drive that runs at 5400rpm to prevent heat problems (SSD hard drive also work but will NOT speed up load times) and transfers data at 1.5gbs as anything faster won't go any faster.
Various brands come pre-installed in the PS3: Seagate, Fujitsu, Hitachi, and Toshiba. You can also use Western Digital and Samsung these are OK.
Hard drive capacity? As long as matches the criteria above the PS3 will then format the hard drive to FAT32, which has a limit of 2TB.
Check List for buying a new hard drive
2.5" 9.5mm form factor
SATA
5400rpm
1.5gbs transfer speed
No larger than 2TB
Choose a well known brand
Directions on how to replace the hard drive in the PS3 can be found online on the PS3 website or in your PS3 manual
Also check out the upgrade guide on CNET Australia which is the best I have seen. http://www.cnet.com.au/videos/play/22505124/
You can also use desktop 3.5" SATA hard drives but it will not fit inside the PS3, so you will need extension cables for SATA data and SATA power, you will also need tweezers due to the confined space, they also make an adapter that you install in place of the hard drive and cover that moves the SATA port to the surface of the PS3's case, though it is not made by Sony

Computer repair techs, support technician. hobbyists. Businesses include...well a lot. Staples, CompuSmart, are just two and there are thousands of small businesses that repair computer too. As well as the manufacturer.
Which upgrade has the most impact on the computer?
It depends on what specific aspect of the computer are you looking to change... If you're wanting to make the computer faster than I would suggest simply adding memory (RAM) to it. If you're looking for more storage space I would suggest simply adding hard drive space.
