Well, they can be pretty expensive e_o just go look in a store and see

Depending on the system, more cases it is authentication. Usually done in a form of a digital handshake.

The purpose of a password is to ensure that only you can access your account. The temporary password you are often given in setting up a new account is usually known to at least one other person - the person who gave it to you. Changing the password is for your protection.

An expansion slot on the computer is basically add other hardware or peripherals, such as graphics cards, sound cards, and network cards. The expansion slots consist of usually 2 things. The first is the PCI or AGP slot that is on the motherboard itself. The second part is built onto the case. It is pretty much a docking station where you screw the card to the case.

There are new processors coming out literally every week. x86 processors, which most desktops use, are also coming out almost very month.

The latest release that I am aware of was the new higher-efficiency AMD Phenom II cores, but Intel, VIA, Transmeta, and AMD are all working to put out new CPUs all the time.

There are also non-x86 processors such as those in phones, videogam consols, embedded computing, laptops, and mobile devices like iPods and PDAs coming out all the time from manufacturers suchs Motorola, Samsung, Sony, IBM, and VIA just to name few.

And then there's hundreds in videocards (nVidia, ATI, AMD, Intel, VIA, Matrox, 3dLabs, Volaris, etc.), peripheral components (Realtek, VIA, Samsung, OCZ, Kingston, Creative, etc.)

An OS where the source code isn't released to the public. Windows and Mac are 2 examples.

Consumers Reports is a good place to compare desktop computers. They rate various brands using several comparison categories. These ratings and categories help you to make an informed product decision on the best value, and most dependable brands.

The computer industry is highly competitive. The best time to buy a desktop computer is when Intel has issued out a new CPU. After this happens, its main competitor, AMD, will then immediately try to put out a new CPU model. While these two are going at it, prices with machines having the "old" CPU models will suddenly go down. This will be a general occurrence for the whole industry. Prices become cheaper when the computer stores have sales on those models that have already been reduced. Keep an eye on the CPU industry.

This could be done thrtough shared network.

Sorry I couldn't figure a way to explain it without being super technical.

Flash drives are often used in products that operate on low power and those which may have to undergo harsh conditions. Flash memory is non-volatile and hence flash drives do not need to be backed up with batteries. Flash memory is solid state. This implies that nothing in it is mechanical. Everything is purely electronic. Flash memory has a grid of columns and rows and a cell having two transistors at each point of intersection in the grid. A thin oxide layer separates the transistors in each pair. One transistor in the pair is known as a floating gate while the other is known as a control gate. The floating gate can hold electric charge. It is in electrical isolation due to the oxide layer separating it from the control gate. So, any electrons placed on the floating gate stay on it. This makes flash memory non-volatile. The working of flash memory is precisely the addition and removal of electrons to and from the floating gate.

Some systems still have a dedicated audio card, this is that makes the outputs for sound work.

These days most computers don't have specific specific audio cards, most motherboards (even cheap ones) are sophisticated enough to offer Dolby 5.1 via an optical SPDIF socket. So there's no need for an audio card.

Going paperless is a good way to save companies money in various ways, including savings from paper, ink, stamps, envelopes, printing machines, etc. Plus, sending information via email is much more efficient, not to mention faster.

Digital Audio CD-Rs are made specifically for home audio cd recording systems. Most home audio systems have "standalone" CD recorders, not attached to a computer, and they require a CD-R that is made specifically for Digital Audio recorders. Some manufacturers also call them Music Only CD-R or Audio CD-R. These CD-Rs are Digital Audio recorders approved and will work in standalone CD recorders. A Digital Audio CD-R uses a SCMS copy-protection flag in the sub-code section of the CD-R. SCMS is the acronym for Serial Copy Management System. Home audio standalone CD recorders are designed to look for the SCMS flag in the sub-code section before allowing the unit to record. If there is no SCMS flag the recorder will not allow recording and the CD-R will be rejected. If a CD-R is labeled Digital Audio CD-R it has the SCMS flag and will therefore work in standalone home audio CD recorders

You put peter. in all lower case and then type you answer in the petition box it will show up as please answer my question its ok if its longer than what it writes it will still say it all.

Yes, you can buy a new processor.

Drivers. Drivers is like a middle-ground between software and hardware. It takes input from software and translates them into instructions the hardware can understand.

Firmware is the software that the hardware is already programmed. Firmware is what allows hardware to "think" for itself.

The benefits of using CFLs could be maximized because when we are using CFL’s we think it is all good but it has some bad toxins that are creating the energy to make the light and make it use less energy. We have to dispose the CFLs properly to reduce the spread of the toxins.

CD burners are easy to find nowadays. Start by searching options based on your computer's manufacturer. The more compatible the burner, the less trouble you will have using it. Beyond that, look on eBay, Amazon, Newegg, and try Next Tag to compare current prices. There are so many options, you are sure to find the one you like the best for burning and burning speed.

That's called a Modem... now superseded by broadband routers.

168 Pin DIMM's require two for dual channeling but only one per memory bank.
