Why can't you change FAT partition sizes?

partition sizes can be changed. this is usually done before the operating system and data and programs are installed. some utilities can do it when the drive has information on it. when partitions are changed incorrectly, loss of the system and dat and programs can occur, get experienced help, pay for it if necessary. it is easy to make mistakes.

Functions of the memory manager?

Memory management functions handle the allocation and deallocationof dynamic Memory. These functions form an abstraction layer above the standard C memory management functionsmalloc, free, and realloc.This block of functions can be replaced by the user with custom code to implement a different memory management scheme. For example, an embedded system application might want to use a fixed-sized static block from which to allocate.

How does the perfomance increase if one upgrades ones ram from ddr2700 to ddr3200?

There are quite a few factors to include in order to gauge the potential performance increase from upgrading RAM. The performance will slightly increase if one were to upgrade a DDR2700 to a DDR3200.

Is RAM something referred to as involatile memory?

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It does not specify whether it is volatile or non-volatile. RAM is just an access method just like SAM (serial access memory eg. magnetic tapes). The memory you are talking about is called primary memory of the computer which is semiconductor memory. Data can be stored in it as long as it is powered on since data is stored in the form of electric charge.

Even Hard disks are RAM because you can randomly access any data from anywhere in the HDD

Are any of the computer parts co-dependent on each other for example does a specific graphics card require a specific motherboard or the other way around?

CPU > Motherboard > RAM > I/O (Graphics, Sound, Hard drive Controller, etc. ) Generally, one chooses a CPU, then based on the CPU requirements, amotherboard then RAM and so on. However if you are looking to use a specific graphics card, you would need to find the requirements for that model. The interface needs to match or be compatible, such as PCI express. If your video card uses a PCIx16 2.0 slot, your motherboard would need to be able to support a PCIx16 2.0 card. But if your board had a PCIx16 2.1 slot, it would still work because the 2.1 revision is backwards compatible. However, cards such as a PCIx1 slot is not compatible with a PCIx16 card. There are also motherboards that support SLI orCrossfire X This is a special link that allows to or more video card to work together. Some motherboards support SLI some supportCrossfire X some support both. AMD/ATI usesCrossfire Xto link their video cards, nVidia uses SLI. These are not cross compatible, i.e. SLI between an AMD card and nVidia card. All in all, graphics cards do not require a specific motherboard, nor do motherboards require specific video cards. Also, if the motherboard has the option for SLI, and only one graphics card is used, an AMD card will usually work just fine (Crossfire Xrequires 2 or more cards) and vice versa. One more exception is the new AMD APUs. These are processors with a GPU [Graphics Processing Unit] built in (notexactly but for simplicity we'll call it a GPU). These do have requirements for specific graphics cards if the added APUbenefitis to be utilized. Not required to function, just to utilize thebenefits.To sum it up, most of the time there are no specificdependenciesother that it fits in the slot provided (AGP had different voltage tabs that required them to match however PCI = PCI, PCIx1 will fit in a PCIx[1,2,4,6,8,16] slot. One more thing to consider, nowadays they have boards with PCIx8 - mechanically x16. this means the physical slot is a x16 slot, but it acts like an 8x slot (it only has the data throughput of an x8 slot) so a x16 would fit and work butwouldn'tgo as fast. You generally see this on moterboards with multi PCIx slots. So a board might has 4 PCIx slots, (x16, x8, x4, x4) so the first slot logically would have a 16x data bus, the second logical slot would have a 8x data bus, and the last 2 would run at x4.

I hope this doesn't overwhelm you, its is a bit much for such a simple question. :) anyway hope it helps!

Where is RAM located on ACER 1640 Laptop?

unscrew the 2 screws that are closest to the front. The screws are located on the panel that has the windows XP sticker on it and has the FCC ID number on it and the transmitter module code.

The screws on the panel are closest to the headphone jacks. That middle panel is where the RAM is located. Unscrew the 2 screws and the rest just pops up (be careful popping it up). See youtube for replacement of ram (same on all systems)
