Which are two activites are normally controlled by the northbridge part of the chip set?
In order to understand the Nortbridge you have to understand part of it used to be be the Memory Controller Chip (MCC) used to retrieve memory from RAM for the CPU. The MCC was upgraded to not only provide an interconnection between the CPU and RAM but also to be the interconnection between the CPU and other devices on the PC and was renamed the Northbridge. The Northbridge only deals with high-speed interfaces such as the connection to your video and RAM. The Southbridge works mainly with lower-speed devices such as the USB controller and the hard drive controllers. The Northbridge and the Southbridge architecture is called a ChipSet..
What website can you make your own dragon ball z character?
You can not make but can dress up them at. www.dragonballzzz.zoomshare.com
Why i can't use microsoftword in my computer?
There could be lots of reasons. It could be because your computer is broken or not working properly. It could be a problem with the computer's memory. It could be a problem with Word itself, like a file is missing or Normal.dot is corrupt. If the problem persists and you can't find a solution, you could try re-installing it.
It is how a computer organizes its (your) files. I believe that the two main (possibly only) file base systems are fat32 and NTFS. Of the two, one is more dependable, and that might be fat32, maybe.
Why fax more useful than email?
Fax can be sent to email or fax machine while email is only sent through PC or an email account. Since most of the companies are still fax machine therefore fax is more efficient than email.
Because an email saves paper (saving you money) it can be sent from any computer (saving you stress) you don't have to pay for a fax unite (saving you space and money) and it is faster (saving you time). Last but not least no one on earth has a fax unite any more!
What describes a collection of hardware components that function together as a system?
Do you want a software to collect the computer‘s hardware information from LAN ？
What part of a computer allows you to move around through your document?
Can you be more specific about what are you trying to do and on what device?
There are two methods to move around in your document,
If you are using a mouse, you can move around each page of a document by scrolling up and down using the "Scrolling wheel" on mouse.
If you are using a keyboard, you can move around using the "Page Up and Page Down" arrow keys on your keyboard.
When performing actions between two computers if one has a virus, the only thing that will offer no risk is not to use a computer that is known to be infected. Virus protection software is only good if it is up to date and performing properly.
Which antivirus for a computer is best?
It depends on what you use your computer for; if you are just checking emails with the occasional youtube vid then something simple such as AVG will suffice. However; if you use your computer for daily work a more comprehensive anti-virus solution such as Avast! Free edition will be needed
How do you recover emptied trash in OS X 10.8?
You can recover deleted photos on mac with photo recovery for mac software. The software provides very simple interface and is very easy to use. It supports all the popular varieties of photo, video and audio file formats on the Mac OS X.
Yes, the most effective way to recover deleted photos is to opt for a Mac photo recovery software specially designed Mac image recovery software for Mac users to recover lost, deleted, formatted and inaccessible images, videos and music files from Mac based hard drives, iPods, USB drives, digital cameras and other media storage devices. With an easy-to-use interface and preview thumbnail, users (even a novice user) can enjoy Mac image recovery with great easein just a few mouse clicks.
What measurement is commonly associated with computer processing speed?
- Hertz (MHz, GHz)
- hertz (Hz) as a unit is defined as the number of cycles per second, making 1 megahertz (MHz) one million cycles per second, while 1 gigahertz is 10^9 hertz. Vibrations and electromagnetic radiation are measured in hertz units, but in computing it is the clock speed of the central processing unit that is referenced in terms of hertz. CPU
- In the broadest terminology, a CPU or processor is the element of a computer that carries out received programming. The CPU is usually an integrated circuit called a microprocessor which carries out the functions of retrieving, decoding, carrying out, and writing back (providing further instruction). This process is one cycle, measured in terms of the computer's clock speed. Clock speed
- A crystal oscillator, a vibrating metal crystal which is another circuit in a computer, provides a signal (clock signal) which determines the computer's clock speed (or rate), that is, the speed at which a CPU completes one cycle. Thus, a CPU at 1 GHz is completing 1 billion cycles per second (carrying out 1 billion programming instructions). In computing, it is very important that this signal remain precisely constant. Comparisons
- Because of variances in the ways in which different machines and processors execute operations, it is not always possible for the casual user to tell ahead of time which type of machine and processor will perform a task the most quickly. This means that using the clock speed (Hz measurement) of a system will not always indicate how quickly that system will perform a task in relationship to other systems.

Yes. The Macbook pro is not only the best selling Mac laptop it is always bought in bulk frequently by United States colleges and other educational facilities.
Which companies sell custom built laptops?
Companies that specialize in selling custom built personal computers are typically found locally. However, many larger computer companies, such as HP, Lenovo, and Dell, offer the ability to pick and choose the kind of hardware to be preinstalled in a new computer.
The CPU is located on the motherboard, under the heatsink.
simply a cached page is like a page stored in faster memory rather than on hard disk.
www.heightz.blogspot.com A cached page doesn't have to be in memory, a cached page can simply mean that the majority of the content on the page is stored on your harddrive for faster retreival. If you visit a website a lot, chances are that your browser will keep some of the images, etc. cached on your harddisk so it doesn't have to download the content over again.
What two power buttons must be switch on when starting a computer?
remove you're finger from the power button and stand back.
Are people the most important element in a computer system?
Yes. Computers are tools and tools require operators to fulfil their functionality. Without users, programmers and maintenance engineers, computers would be useless, inanimate objects with no purpose whatsoever. Although much of what a computer does can be automated, computers are not self-aware and cannot think for themselves, therefore some measure of user-interaction is required, no matter how occasionally. The term "peopleware" was coined for this purpose, because computers require hardware, software and peopleware in order to be functional.
What is serial port programming?
A serial port is any port that transmits and receives data serially, or one piece at a time. This is as opposed to a parallel port, which can transmit and receive data along multiple paths at the same time. RS-232, USB, FireWire, PS/2, and ADB are all examples of serial ports. In common usage, the term "serial port" is usually used to refer to RS-232 ports.
The use of multiple computers linked by a communications network for processing is called?
Parallelism or Parallel processing
