When booting a computer what is the boot priority?

In the system BIOS you can tell the computer to "look at" a drive to boot from first . There you can select to boot from a removable drive, usually a floppy disk or USB flash drive(this option is found on most Linux systems). You can also choose to boot from a CDROM drive or Hard Disc(you hard drives).

This is what all my system say and the ones I repair:

1. Removable Drive -- Usually a floppy drive (an emergency boot disk) is what it is talking about here.

2. CD-ROM Drive -- I have this set at two so I can special disks before I get to the desktop or dashboard(Mac).

3. Hard Disks -- This is your hard drive.

How many watts does a typical radio use?

I am not sure, but you can look at the back of your TV set. Most electrical equipment has its specifications there - if it doesn't state the watts, you can multiply amperes x volts.

Why is it important to have information literate people in a country?

What is the use of a computer network cable?

A data cable is any media that allows baseband transmissions (binary 1,0's) from a transmitter to a receiver.

Category 5 cable (Cat 5) is a twisted pair high signal integrity cable type. This type of cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet and ATM, and is also used to carry many other signals such as telephony and video. Most Category 5 cables are unshielded, relying on the twisted pair design for noise rejection. Category 5 has been superseded by the Category 5e specification.

1.Play in a well-lit room

2.Play for short periods of time,not hours on end

3.Sit the full distance possible from screen

4.Stop at once if you feel unwell

How do you find how many amps your computer system draws?

It can vary with how many accessories you have inside, but the power supply will have a wattage rating meaning a maximum power it can draw without blowing up.

If it says 500 watts, take 500 divided by 120Volts and you get 4.61 amps. Remember that's a max and probably not what its drawing. If it says 300 watts, 300/120 = 2.5 amps.

A friend was trying to decide what size UPS to buy and when we tried to find out how much current the his Mac draws, the spec only said the max, 12amps which it turns out was way over what is actually draws. Even though the Mac power supply was designed to provide up to 12 amps or 1440 watts, we found out later it only used about 350 watts including 2 monitors.

If your asking this in order to select a UPS, they use a spec called VA. My PC system is very large and runs fine on a 1000VA UPS however there is a 1500VA UPS that might have been a better choice considering how much junk I have on this system.

More information:
We should not confuse the amperage drawn from the wall with the amperage available on the power rails. The best way to find out is to read the specifications. The power required from the wall and the power available on each output rail should be listed on the power supply. Dividing the rated wattage by 120 is not a good way to get the line current required. The rated wattage is based on the output, not the input, and the required amount will be more. Remember that with all the transformers and other circuits inside, there will be some current loss for the output wattage is determined. Even modern ones can have a 20% loss or so.

What is the current processing speed of a decent computer in MHz?

As of October 2023, a decent computer typically has a processing speed ranging from around 2.5 GHz to 4.0 GHz, which translates to 2500 MHz to 4000 MHz. High-performance models, especially in gaming or professional environments, can exceed these speeds. Additionally, modern CPUs often feature multiple cores and threads, enhancing overall performance beyond raw MHz alone.

How many components of computer system?
