How many types of bios do you have?
You generally have 1 BIOS on your computer, typically an Award Pheonix BIOS or some sort of proprietary BIOS developed by either the computer manufacturer or the motherboard manufacturer. In some of the newer cases, being with the iMacs and a select few new motherboards, there isn't a BIOS at all, but rather a advanced replacement known as an EFI. The concept of the EFI is very controversial because it creates new, unneeded complexities to the startup process at the expense of simpler setup and loadup GUIs. Haters of the EFI system (such as myself), tend to state that your loadup system isn't supposed to be used for normal computing and doesn't need things like this. We also like to use the old adage, "If it isn't broke, don't fix it."

What is used to connect components in a computer system?
Personal computer hardware are component devices which are typically installed into or peripheral to a computer case to create a personal computer upon which system software is installed including a firmware interface such as a BIOS and an operating system which supports application software that performs the operator's desired functions. Operating systems usually communicate with devices through hardware buses by using software device drivers.
Motherboard
The motherboard is the main component inside the case. It is a large rectangular board with integrated circuitry that connects the other parts of the computer including the CPU, the RAM, the disk drives (CD, DVD, hard disk, or any others) as well as any peripherals connected via the ports or the expansion slots.
Components directly attached to the motherboard include:
Power supply
A power supply unit (PSU) converts alternating current (AC) electric power to low voltage DC power for the internal components of the computer. Some power supplies have a switch to change between 230 V and 115 V. Other models have automatic sensors that switch input voltage automatically, or are able to accept any voltage between those limits. Power supply units used in computers are nearly always switch mode power supplies (SMPS). The SMPS provides regulated direct current power at the several voltages required by the motherboard and accessories such as disk drives and cooling fans.
Removable media devices
Secondary storage
Hardware that keeps data inside the computer for later use and remains persistent even when the computer has no power.
Sound card
Enables the computer to output sound to audio devices, as well as accept input from a microphone. Most modern computers have sound cards built-in to the motherboard, though it is common for a user to install a separate sound card as an upgrade. Most sound cards, either built-in or added, have surround sound capabilities.
Input and output peripherals
Input and output devices are typically housed externally to the main computer chassis. The following are either standard or very common to many computer systems.

What is the best antivirus for windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit?
Avast seems to be one of a few antivirus applications out there that support the Windows xp pro x64 operating system, and it's free. Although you still need to find a compatible firewall. AVG is good and I think it also has a firewall. As an XP x64 user I have found Comodo Internet suite seems to run the best as far as resources and ease of use. It also has a built in firewall and is pretty much "plug and play" in that you basically install it and let it do its job. Everything from scanning to updates to firewall rules has already been done for you, but these are trivially easy to change from the Comodo control panel if you so desire.
