How many GB is equal to 1 RAM?
GB and RAM are not equivalent terms, so they cannot be compared.
One GB, or gigabyte, is 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) bytes of data, which is also equivalent to one thousand megabytes or one million kilobytes.
RAM, or random access memory, is a form of memory in computers which is used as temporary storage for computer applications.
RAM can be measured in gigabytes, because as a form of memory, it can store a certain amount of data. However, there is no unit called "RAM".
What are the characteristics of file based systems?
The characteristics of file-base system are as follows:
- Storage
- Organization
- Collections of data
- Readable
- Manipulating options
- Coding
What byte is equivalent of one thousand bytes?
1 Byte = 1/1024th of a Kilobyte
1 Kilobyte = 1/1024th of a Gigabyte
1 Gigabyte = 1/1024th of a Terabyte
What is a relationship between Computer application Computer operating system and Computer Hardware?
Computer Hardware consists of the physical components that make up a computer. Some examples are and Microprocessor, a Hard Drive, or a Motherboard.
Computer Software consists of applications or programs that the user runs on a computer, such as a word processor or a video game.
An Operating System is a specific piece of software that allows other software to manipulate computer hardware to achieve a desired effect. Some Operating Systems are Microsoft Windows, Unix/Linux, or Apple OS
Basically the three interact as follows:
Hardware <-> Operating System <-> Software
(<-> specifies an interaction between two components.)
In addition computer hardware deal with different devices that interact into the computer software then it show the capacity and data of the applications while the operating system it is the combination of performance which spreadout to access each other components.
And stop cheating... Thankyou.
How many megabytes in 1.00 gigabytes?
1.11 Gigabytes * 1024 Mega Bytes (1 gb = 1024 mb) = 1136.64 mega bytes :)
A host (also called a client) does this. The device that provides the information a host is looking for is called a server.
Can you use non ecc memory on a motherboard that supports ecc memory?
Depending on the specs of the motherboard, a motherboard that supports ECC SDRAM may support a non-ECC SDRAM module. If a motherboard can support both types, you would have the option to enable or disable the ECC feature in BIOS. Other than the fact that an ECC module has an odd number of chips, there is no other physical difference on the module. They are keyed the same.
Conclusion for hacking and cracking?
Hacking is a very dangerous thing. A kid cannnot learn it to hack in a game. Espeacially in Sudden Attack, because will tio gm banned
A file extension is the three letters at the end of PC file names that tell you?
File extension tells you more about the file type. Example a .pdf indicates that the file is a 'Print Document Format' file which can be opend using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. Look at the sites below for a list of file extensions:
http://www.extensionpedia.com/html/list.html
The usual term used is "file extension" or sometimes simply "extension". Not all operating systems use extensions, and of those which do, not all of them are limited to precisely three letters.
MB - Megabyte
Mb- Megabit
mb- NO SUCH THING
KB- Kilobyte
kb- Kilobits
8Mb = 8000kb
Importance of information technology in commerce?

What are the chareristics of computer?
1. The CPU (Central Processing Unit). The heart of the computer. This, through the use of millions (and more recently, billions) of transistors (which act as switches, their output either being a 1 or a 0), processes the commands given to it, running the programs the rest of the system requires.
2. The motherboard. This board allows any piece connected to it to access and send information to or from any other piece, and stores the microprograms with which they do so. Everything is either directly or indirectly attached to it.
3. The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). It is similar to the CPU, but it is entirely dedicated to processing the video output of the computer, and has a dedicated pool of resources, so the task of outputting video is not a drain on the rest of the system.
4. The RAM (Random Active Memory). It is a volume of active memory (meaning it cannot hold information without power) that the system uses to cache the expected, likely, or recently used outputs to specific commands or questions. For example, when using a word processor, it holds all the letters of the alphabet, ready to display them, instead of having to do individual lookups for every time a letter is typed. Or, when running a 3D graphics program, it stores textures so they may be quickly displayed on-screen.
5. The hard drive. This piece passively (doesn't require power to retain) stores information, such as programs or pictures. There are two types of these:
a. The HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The cheaper of the two, it is also the slowest in data read and write times. It employs one or more metal-plated disks, a motor, and an electromagnet (called a head). The motor spins the disks (often in excess of 7000 RPM), and the head is moved over the disk and magnetizes small sections of the disk's surface. Based on the charge, the disk will read either a 1 or a 0, which in long strings is interpreted as data. To read the information back again, the electromagnet lets itself be magnetized by the disk, which generates the previously recorded information.
b. The SSD (Solid State Drive). This drive uses flash memory to store information, the same as their USB-sized counterparts, thumb drives. Instead of a physical disk, this drive utilizes no moving parts whatsoever, relying on small electronic switches to store the 1's and 0's of data. This dramatically improves on the reliability and speed of HDD's, but at a price (literally). SSD's are often $1 per GB (GigaByte, a unit of storage). As comparison, downloaded movies are around 2GBs. As such, at the time of this writing, SSDs are used only in servers, databases, and in heavy gaming computers.
6. The CD (Compact Disk) drive. This works similarly to a HDD, but instead of using magnetization, it uses lasers. The disk is reflective, allowing the laser shined at it to be reflected to a sensor. Information is stored on CDs by creating patches of non-reflective areas, which prohibit the light from reaching the sensor. By spinning the disk around, the drive causes a rapid series of flashes to reach the sensor, which interprets them as the 1's and 0's of data (light is interpreted as a 1, and no light as a 0).
There are various other minor parts to a computer, but they are not major, or are merely accessories. Such things include the mouse and keyboard, the monitor, and the webcam. It is true that without these pieces, the experience of using a computer is more limited, but the lack of them does not inhibit the computer from accessing, processing, or writing the essential information it need in order to run, so they are not listed here. For more information on these, please see a more specified question.
One gigabyte is 1024 megabytes. Therefore, 967 megabytes would equal 0.9443359375 gigabytes.
Which two guidelines demonstrate proper netiquette?
The code of online etiquette, or netiquette, varies from one platform to another; there is a netiquette for email and one for the comments sections of articles and blogs. A nearly universal rule of netiquette is not to type in all capitals, as it is seen as aggressive behavior.
A URL is a lot easier to remember than an IP address. Trying to recall sets of numbers from memory can be difficult. Also, a URL will remain the same. Some ISPs use dynamic IP, which means that it will change periodically. So you would never get to remember the addresses for all of your favourite sites!
A URL can also link to a particular page within a server. Most servers don't have the website on the root of the Hard Drive, similar to saving things to My Documents rather than C:.

How do you configure a domain password expiration policy?
Configuring a Password Expiration Policy in Existing Domain (Change Password Policy Settings):
Open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap in while logged in to the domain controller as an administrator.
- Right-click the root domain name and select properties.
- Navigate to the Group Policy tab and choose "Edit" for the default policy
- Expand the policy folder: Windows Settings > Security Settings > Account Policies
Choose the Password Policy key, and change settings to as appropriate for your environment.
Go back up a level and then select the Account Lockout Policy key, and change settings as appropriate for your environment.
Your password change policy is now active in the domain, and will affect all user objects that are not set explicitly with "do not expire password".
A WORD OF CAUTION IN EXISTING DOMAINS: Keep in mind that once you enable the password expiration policy in an existing domain, you run the risk of immediately expiring all user passwords that have not been set with "do not expire password" on their account properties. This can cause a huge support nightmare. Before you enable the password expiration policy be sure to go through AD and set all staff user accounts with "do not expire password" under the "account" tab of the user properties. Then you can safely enable the above policies without affecting users.
Use a good pre planning and expiration reminder tool! Get something like Password Reminder PRO from SysOp Tools (http:/www.sysoptools.com) which will automatically send a reminder email to expiring password users and let them know when their password will expire, and will also allow you to clean up your AD before policy deployment. It is a great inexpensive tool that will save you a lot of work!
Use a good use support tool to reduce help desk load! The first two password change periods for users carry the highest support overhead as users get used to changing their password and creating a complex password. Any tools you can give them to make life easier will result in lower support calls and happier users / IT staff.
Typically, deploying an easily accessible web-based self service solution which allows users to self change password, self reset password or self unlock account is a great way to go. Look at something easy to deploy and inexpensive like Password Reset PRO from SysOp Tools.
Role of software design in system design?
When we're talking about software system design, we're talking about something larger than just a piece of software. Often software systems are large programs or systems comprised of several programs and subsystems. In many cases systems of larger sizes need to be well designed in order to perform sufficiently well under heavy load. So, software system design is the practice of extracting the needed information about what a system should do and then coming about via design, research and prototyping w/a way to solve the problem in a way that yields sufficient performance w/o wasting time or resources in the process. It is excruciatingly hard, or perhaps impossible to create a software system that works well w/o enough design.
However, one way to design systems is through prototyping, but it still isn't really possible to come about w/a prototype that is good enough w/o understanding the actual problem well enough. So, no matter what kind of a approach you take to solving the problem of creating a well-working software system, you cannot live w/o design. There are just different approaches to it. The design might be very thought out, or it may emerge. But the time to think it out has to be put in there in one way or the other.
Software is what enables us to use computer hardware effectively and is needed for our modern life. A software designer changes people's needs into computer programmes to enable people to meet their objectives. Most electrical items have software in them. Some don't like light bulbs. Software is instructions to hardware to do things. A software designers design a set of instructions so a computer will do helpful things for people. A software designer produces computer programmes, a functional specification to agree the design with the customer and a programme to realise the design. Software is involved with everything so software designers work for both companies and freelance. It is very hard to find a company which doesn't have software designers. To be a software designer maths is essential. Employers look for maths and science skills and good communication skills. You can be a software designer without qualifications but it is very unlikely.
Software designers plan and write computer programmes to meet functional requirements. Software designers design the features of programmes such as the features of Microsoft word or the features of an oven. Everything we do on the computer is a result of software design.
