How does a computer's processing capacity affect the amount of ram you can use?

All programs and data are executed from memory (RAM)

but it first needs to be fetched from wherever it is stored.If there is insufficient free memory, then some memory must be freed up by writing t to disk in the paging file. You can minimize the chances of this happening by maximizing the amount of memory in the PC.

.

The second impact is memory speed, especially the speed at which data can be transferred between RAM and the CPU. Data is actually transferred to cache memory on the CPU chip from main memory before it is executed,and then results are written back to main memory. The speed of this data transfer is affected by the design of the system, and the speed and quality of RAM installed, and by the setup of RAM timing in BIOS.

How does poor transmission affect response time in LAN?

The main reason here is that the data would have to be resent. If all the data is not being sent, then the other side would have to signal that it didn't get the data and request a repeat.

This is similar to humans speaking. If there is a lot of noise in the room and distance between the speaker and the listener, it may take longer to have a conversation than if the room is quiet and they are standing face to face. So likewise, if the signal is weak or noisy, then there will be dropped packets and the data will have to be resent.

Where could one purchase a mobile computer workstation?

What is the purpose of the start menu?

Can you have two of the same exe file and each of their saved data is separate from each other?

Yes. Suppose the program name is foo. You do not need two copies of foo.exe, just two data directories. I will call them jack and jill.

1. If the directory for saved data is configurable through an environment variable, using foodir as an example, or on the command line, create two .bat files and a shortcut to run each.

foo-jack.bat

foodir=c:\jack

foo

foo-jill.bat

foodir=c:\jill

foo

2. If the directory is not configurable, the program might be using the current directory. Make sure the directory containing foo.exe is in the PATH and create two .bat files like this:

foo-jack.bat

cd \jack

foo

foo-jill.bat

cd \jill

foo

How many home computers are there?

How do you find a dns server address?

AnswerIf you are using a PC, click the start button. Select the run command. Type CMD into the box and press enter. When the black box pops up type the following line in

ipconfig /all

Look through the data to see what your DNS address is.

If you are using a Mac. Go to the System Preferences. Click on the Network Icon Double Click on the Ethernet icon if you have an ethernet cable plugged in (Looks like a wide phone jack) Double Click on the Airport card if you are using wireless internet. The DNS servers will be listed under the TCP/IP Tab.

What kind of laptop security devices are available to purchase?

Why cant a single computer processor execute two or more programs simultaneously?

In simple terms a single processor can only process one machine instruction at a time; it's just not possible to execute two or more instructions simultaneously and therefore not possible to execute 2 programs simultaneously.

However, it's not quite as simple as that because a modern processor can have 2 or more cores, in which case it is possible to execute 2 or more instructions simultaneously. However, that's not quite the same thing as executing 2 programs simultaneously as we invariably execute far more threads of execution than we have cores available.

Note that a program consists of one or more processes and a process consists of one or more threads of execution. Although it is theoretically possible to execute two threads simultaneously upon two cores, when those cores share the same processor they also share the same L2 cache and that's really only beneficial when both threads share the same process. With 2 independent processors there's a better chance of simultaneous program execution, however it's nigh on impossible to guarantee this unless the system is specifically designed for that purpose. In a multi-processing, multi-threaded environment, task-switching makes it next to impossible for any two independent programs to execute simultaneously because every thread has to yield to waiting threads.
