Computer Terminology

There are several numbers and terms here that must be understood before that question can be answered. Many computer processors use a front side bus to communicate with the north bridge and RAM. The speed of that bus determines how quickly the CPU can read and write to memory as well as other peripherals. For ease of synchronizing those systems, many CPUs will set their Core processor speed to a multiple of that FSB. The actual "speed" of your CPU will be determined by the FSB * multiplier, but most CPUs will actually execute several instructions per core clock "tick." It's very difficult to determine how fast a computer will be compared to another one based solely on the clock speeds.

The 32-bit color offered by many current operating systems is actually 24-bits of color with 8-bits allocated to an alpha channel or data. This results in a color depth of 16,777,216 different colors. It is said that the human eye can only distinguish between 10 million different colors.

A byte = 8 bits.

A bit = either a 1 or a 0 ("on" or "off") A bit is the smallest unit of measure for data.

1/0 = bit

4 bits = nibble

8 bits = byte

1024 bytes = kilobyte

1024 kilobytes = megabyte

1024 megabytes = gigabyte

1024 gigabytes = terabyte.

The program counter in the processor holds the address of the next instruction needed from main memory. The program counter copies its contents into the memory address register. The memory address register then sends the address along the address bus to main memory and the contents of the memory location specified by the address are sent along the data bus to the memory buffer register. The contents of the memory buffer register are then copied to the current instruction register where they are decoded and executed.

No. Much, much more than that.

On average one movie is 2GB. That's two gigabytes.

A high definition (HD) movie would be around 3 or 4.5GB

To be precise all dialog boxes are windows, but, a dialog is one that requires input from the user such as the Print dialogue and remains in front of the application window until cancelled or completed unlike a new email window which can be minimised. In addition to this, The basic difference between a dialog box and a window is: 1. A dialog box expects immediate response from the user. However, a window does not expect immediate reponse. Moreover, a dialog box closes to process user reponse. This is not the case with a window. 2. A window consists of minimize, maximize, and close buttons on the right end of the title bar.

On the other hand, a dialog box only consists of help and close buttons on it title bar. 3. A dialog box consists of OK and Cancel buttons on the lower right corner.

A window, on the other hand, does not consist of such buttons.

Only one I can think of is Solid Disk Drive but it's 16 letters not 11

These values are incomparable.

GB = GigaByte = 1,073,741,824 Bytes

GHz = GigaHertz = 1,000,000,000 Hertz

GB is a measure of storage space, while GHz is a measure of frequency.

There are two main types: Air
Water
Air cooling just uses fans to dissipate heat.
Water cooling tends to be used in top-end custom built PC's and uses water to remove heat from components such as the processor RAM etc

The HAL (hardware abstraction layer) is the layer between the OS and the hardware

LGA : Land Grid Array <== pins are in the socket, no pins are attached on the CPU, only pads.

PGA: Pin Grid Array <== pins are attached on to the socket, the socket has some sort of "holes" that hold the processor

Manual Data Processing is Done by hands and their is no use of computers in this, on the other hand in EDP, Computers are used and this is more reliable and fast as compared to Manual Data Processing... EDP is less time consuming, less costly, more relaible, more accurate, faster as compared to manual data processing......

Manual Data Processing is Done by hands and their is no use of electicity in this, on the other hand in EDP, electricity is used.

You type it. - in a way that is correct, but perhaps not over helpful.

ASCII = American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Over the life of computers, there have been several standards for encoding letters and numbers into binary strings ('0' and '1'). Early computers only had 4 bits for each character, this has slowly increased to the current 8 bits per character. Each standard has a name, ASCII is the name for the arrangement most commonly used today.

Though that is not quite accurate, first there are two ASCII codes, there is 7-bit ASCII and there is 8-bit ASCII, both with the same name. Also, most people use Microsoft Windows, and Microsoft do not actually follow the ASCII standard completely, some of the characters in Windows are different to ASCII on other platforms. Hence a common name used of 'MS-ASCII' when network technicians need to define which they are using, or converting.

If you have a modern small computer (Desktop, Notebook etc with Windows, Linux or MAC) it uses ASCII already, you do not need to do anything to get it. If you happen to own an IBM mainframe then this uses EBCDIC coding which is different - but the system includes all the code needed to automatically convert files between the various codes for you.

Storing and managing information is an important task of the computer system. Since the information plays an important role in a computer system, its logical and physical characteristics are also a matter of interest as these effect the efficiency of programs using it.

Computer system are comprised of input devices, output devices, processing devices, and storage devices. Input devices would include a keyboard, mouse, microphone, sound card (if it uses a microphone), and read-only storage devices. Output devices would include the video card, monitor, sound card, and speakers. Processing devices would include the CPU, and the FPU. The video and sound cards could be considered processing devices, since they also process images, video, and sound. Storage devices would include ROM, RAM, memory sticks, memory cards, the hard drive, and CD/DVD burners.

data dictionary- Used to store schema descriptions and other information such as design decisions, application program descriptions, user information, usage standards, etc. Active data dictionary is accessed by DBMS software and users/DBA. Passive data dictionary is accessed by users/DBA only.

One possible definition is Remote Display Terminal cable.

Perhaps "dude" is the most random word ever. It can convey a multitude of messages depending on intonation and emphasis. Try it.

Dude! (hammering the first "D") - anger

Dude? (drawing out the "u") - apprehension

Dude! (pronounced more like D-Hoo-d) - excitement

Usually "network computer" refers to a computer whose primary function is to access the network and can't do much else on its own. Sometimes it is a dumb terminal with no processing power of its own, but more often it does have processing capabilities, but still less than a personal or business computer.

Network computers rarely exist outside large corporate networks, where they are generally assigned to very low-level employees with minimal computing needs.
