Yes it is hard to visualize but yes, the CPU does everything from mundane things like fetch the lastest game to biometric physics...But CPUs are built for different jobs. The data is put in "Registers" inside the CPU. These registers act like work benches to organize what needs to be done first. There is a register for normal processing and a Register for math computations. This is called the Arithmetic Logic Unit. Those work together moving billions of line of code a second..hope this helps. Answer: CPU
What is the main advantage for OS designer by using virtual machine architecture?
The main advantage is that,the virtual machines reduces the hardware usage.
In virtual machines we can load different OS.
RAM (Random Access Memory) is made of cells where each cell has a capacitor and a transistor. The capacitor can be thought of as being a cup while the transistor is a tap that can either fill the cup or empty the cup. The cup is filled with an electric charge to denote the value 1, and emptied to denote the value 0. Thus each cell denotes 1 bit (binary digit) of information. The cup, however, is incredibly leaky, and the charge will quickly drain away within a few milliseconds. To maintain the state of each bit, the RAM must be constantly refreshed. During each refresh cycle, if a bit has sufficient charge (more than 50%) then it is refilled, otherwise it is allowed to drain away completely. Refreshing RAM is done in cycles measured in nanoseconds, such as 80 nanoseconds. That is, it takes 80 billionths of a second to completely refresh the RAM.
Cells are arranged in an array of rows and columns. To write any one cell, a row access selector (RAS) selects the appropriate row while a charge is passed through the associated column access selector (CAS). To read a bit, a sense-amplifier detects the level of charge at the intersection of the RAS and CAS. The CAS detects the bit lines while the RAS detects word lines (32 bits in a 32-bit word). Thus to read successive bits in a word line, only the CAS needs to change.
Nope it doesn't matter what kind of ram you have in your graphics card as they are used for different things
What does matter is what type of slots your computer has. Mine, for example, has slots only for PCI cards and I must buy PCI. You can find out what type of slots your computer has by calling TigerDirect. Start with what type of graphics card your computer can use.
CMOS stands for Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. CMOS is a technology for constructing integrated circuits. It is widely used in Microprocessors, Micro Controllers, Static RAM. It is also used in Analog circuits such as image sensors. CMOS was patented in 1967 by Frank Wanlass. CMOS is sometimes referred as COS-MOS i.e complementary-symmetry metal-oxide-semiconductor.
plugs in most components to allow the machine to work
In the most common definition, there are 8 bits in one byte.
One bit is either a flow of electricity or no electricity. This written as 0 or 1. There are four bits in a nibble and two nibbles in a byte.
8 bits = 1 byte.
1024 bytes = 1KB
1024 KB = 1 MB
1024 MB = 1 GB
A terabyte is one trillion bytes (1012 = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes) in current standard usage.
1 terabyte (TB) = 1,000 gigabytes (GB) = 1,000,000 megabytes (MB)
(There is a similar unit, the terabinary byte, or "tebibyte", which is 240 or 10244 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. However, this unit is never actually used, as hard drives are the only things that can hold this much, and they are always measured in powers of 10.)
What memory on a computer can be easily lost?
Memory that requires power to maintain it is "volatile memory" and includes RAM. RAM is random access memory, and, to keep it simple, the data put in RAM by the microprocessor is lost when power to the RAM is interrupted. That's like when the machine is shut down or loses power. Data stored in RAM "disappears" if the memory is not "kept alive" by the power supply. RAM is not designed to "hold" data when the machine powers off. Computers don't rely on RAM to "remember" what is in it at shut down. When the machine boots up next work cycle, RAM is reloaded with what the microprocessor wants in it to support operations.
1995 Dodge Ram heat is lukewarm?
the most common thing this time of year is the thermostat. it may be stuck open or be too hot of a thermostat. i use a 195 degree in summer then put in a 180 in the winter. also check the heater core and housing. the heater core may be bad or clogged or maybe the housing is full of debree this happens in areas that are heavy in falling leaves. also it could be a matter that you are low on antifreeze. finally i would check the cable to the heat selector on the dash. it is common for them to beak in the plastic cover. to check this see if you can move the butterfly valve that supplies the heater core by hand. hope this helps.
Bobby pins are great for thick to medium hair. They will fall right out of thin hair. You use bobby pins by just taking a piece of good sized hair and slipping in the bobby pin. The style today is to take a bit of hair from the front and to pull it back. Then you slip in the bobby pink in the middle of your hair line. :)
LPT1 is a port found on older computers and some newer ones that you can connect a printer to. This port is a female connector with 25 pinholes.
Why is a DVD able to store 4.3GB of data even though it is the size of a normal CD?
Single layer recordable DVD's can store 4.3GB of data. Data is stored on CD's and DVD's via reflective and non reflective pits on the surface of the media. These "dots" are much smaller on DVD's which gives you more room to store information on the surface of the disc. Dual Layer DVDs hold 8.5GB. The pits on a DVD are much smaller and closer together than those on a CD. The new BlueRay disks can pack the pits even closer together because the blue light used to read them has a smaller wavelength and hence is able to resolve smaller details on a disks surface. CDs are read by a red or infrared light which has a much longer wavelength and is not able to resolve smaller pits on a disks surface.

Can you mix 256mb ddr with 512mb ddr?
No special adavantage in using 256 with 512.It will give the performance of only 512.use the same size
What are the arguments for and against representing Boolean values as single bits in memory?
for: faster, better readability against: memory isn't used optimally
Do you need a microphone for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004?
No a microphone is only of any use when playing online, even then, it is optional.
Why the name is given as random access memory?
This is done as because you can access the memory at any random point i-e randomly.
How does a solid state relay work?
A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic device to switch the electrical current, rather than an electromechanical device.
An electromechanical relay uses a magnetic coil and mechanical contacts. When current flows through the coil, it pulls down a piece of iron called an armature, causing the mechanical contacts to touch and thus close an electrical circuit.
A solid state relay (SSR) has no mechanical moving parts, but instead uses a three terminal device such as a triac (triode AC), SCRs (back-to-back thyristors), or FET (field effect transistor) to conduct the electrical current. When the third terminal (gate) is energized by the control input, the device conducts.
Essentially the solid state relay controls a larger electrical current by accepting a small control signal. There are no moving parts.
Advantages of solid state relays are: they have no internal arcing or contacts to wear out, can last virtually forever, can have extremely low control input requirements, and are immune to vibration or G-force chatter.
There are 3 installation parameters that must be planned for. Avoid over-amperage (inrush > than SSR rating), over-voltage (voltage surges) and over temperature. Solid state relay has also opto isolation feature. control signal & power line is completely isolated by an internal LED. It is just like a big version of Opto Coupler.
How long can a memory be stored in a random access memory?
Indefinitely, as long as power is not removed from the system. Once power is removed, all address locations in RAM revert to their default state.
