SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module), is a form of RAM (Random Access Memory) It is a ram chip with memory chips on one side. A DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) is like a SIMM, but has memory chips on both sides.
i think you mean 256 mb as this is a quarter of a gigabyte so there would be 4 lots of 256mb in a gigabyte as a gigabyte is 1024 mb
Molex Connectors are used in Power Supplies for powering up the devices. There are different types of Molex Connectors on Power Supply for. eg. 20 or 24 Pin Power Connector\ 4 Pin IDE device \ Sata Device Connector.
Mini Molex refers to connector powering Floppy Disk Drives or AGP Cards on Computer System.
How much is a kilobyte and megabyte?
1000 kilobytes are in a megabyte and 1000 megabytes are in a gigabyte.
These are the storage industry standards.
However, megabytes as displayed by an operating system are actually measured in binary form, thus 1,024 kilobytes are in one megabyte, and 1,024 megabytes are in a gigabyte.
There are 1,048,576 bytes in a megabyte, and 1,0458,576 kilobytes in a gigabyte.
This is one reason why your operating system will claim that there is less memory on your hard drive than what the manufacturer claims.
Why are sent bytes more than received bytes?
A better way to term it is Requested information and Received information. Requested or Requests for information are always smaller than the Received amount, because the amount of data available is more than the request. For example if you enter a search term on Google, your Request is only a few bytes, but the amount of information received from that request is a lot more.
Though it of course depends on how much you actually view and / or download, the amount of information you transmit to the web is virtually always less than what you receive, due to the sheer amount of information available. However, information sent and received can come close in certain situations, such as transmitting data to a web server (uploading), or remote connection to another system and transferring information between the 2.
When computer freezes what does that mean?
Low on system memory. or a driver and a software conflict.
ASCII code - is a universally recognised series of codes applied to every number, letter, symbol and function key on a computer keyboard. The codes identify which key does what. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. See the related link to Wikipedia for a more detailed explanation.
What is the difference between a 16 bit and a 32 bit?
Colour is usually represented on computers, & displayed using 3 colour elements - Red, Green & Blue.
16bit colour (known as "high colour") refers to the fact that only a total of 16 binary bits are used to represent each colour.
This usually results in 5 bits being used for red, 5 bits for blue, and 6 bits for green (due to the fact that we are apparently more visually sensitive to green)
This gives 32 shades of red and blue available, and 64 shades of green.
This results in 65536 different possible shades.
24bit colour (known as "true colour") results in 8 bits being used for each colour, allowing 256 shades of each, & a total of 4.2 Million colours.
Pretty much all digital displays use 24bit colour & consider it to be the full or "true" colour mode.
On a home computer 32bit means 24bit is used for red, green & blue.
The extra 8 bits are usually used for storing internal information (like transparency or stencil information).
32bit is often used because memory can be read easier in steps of 32bits (4 bytes), than it can in 24bits (3 bytes).
Visually they will look identical on your monitor.
24bit colour will look visually "better" than 16bit colour, when looking @ high colour images like photography, or smooth gradients of colour.
In 16bit colour you can often see the "steps" as the colour transitions from one to the next.
In 24bit the colours are so close together that they are often indiscernible, & on most digital monitors, to most eyes, will appear perfectly smooth.
Most modern computer games require your graphics card to be capable of displaying 24bit colour & will no longer support 16bit.
False is the correct answer.
What is a command-line interface?
The Linux command line is a series of programming words that can be used in the Linus terminal to get results. For example, the command "cd" is used the navigate folders and directory, "cp" is used to copy.
What is an electronic device that will accept data process data produce output and store results?
Its the criminal lecture of the world and all of the destinations that you have to reach. This was said by the leader himself song-loc-don. the japenese leader of the chinese world in the 1800s
Flash memory storage device that plugs in to a usb port?
Flash memory storage devices that plug into USB ports are commonly referred to as USB thumb drives. USB thumb drives come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and capacities and are often used for transporting files from one computer to another.
Petabyte. The endings are Greek.
It is also one million Gigabytes in the USA. We count differently than the UK or the rest of the world, for some reason.
Mega= 1 x 10(6)
Giga= 1 X 10 (7)
Terra= 1 x 10 (8)
Peta= 1x 10 (9)

A Terrabyte, TB means 1,000,000,000,000
A Gigabyte, GB means 1,000,000,000 Bytes
A Megabyte, MB means 1,000,000 Bytes.
A Kilobyte, KB means 1,000 Bytes.
A Byte is 8 bits.
Some spell Terrabyte as Terabyte.
Computers use a positive or negative state to control processes. Each state is stored as a 1 or a zero and is called a 'BIT.' It is used in a math called 'Binary Math.'
But a single bit is too small to be very useful. Programmers started putting the bits together in larger units. At first, they used 4 at a time, then 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256. The term Byte was given to a group of 8 bits. The more bits are used, the more information they contain, and the more powerful the processors must be to handle it all. This can easily be seen when looking at the number of colors that can be displayed. 1 or zero is black and white. 16 bits are used for grays. 256 bits are used for simple gif image colors. More colors require more bits of information, and more memory to store the information.
How many minutes of video on 8 gb?
The Panasonic AG-HMC150, at the highest quality setting (1920 x 1080 resolution @ 21 Mbps) will record for 45 minutes onto an 8 GB card. At lowest quality setting (1440 x 1280, 6 Mbps) it will record for approximately 3 hours. Depending on your camera, image resolution and bitrate, as they say, "your mileage may vary!"
The term digital divide refers to the "gap" between those who have access to modern digital technology, and those who don't have access.
It refers to the relative social status of different sections of society in the modern computer and information technology age. It refers to the gap between those with regular access to digital products, computers, and information technology and those without it.
Specifically this applies to poorer sections of society, people living in remote areas away from big cities, and the large population of developing and underdeveloped countries. Most have no access to computers in education, nor other benefits of modern information technology, such as the internet.
