How do you replace your RAM on a computer?

It depends on the kind of computer you have. In desktop PCs, you would need to open up the protective box (while the computer was off, of course) and access the RAM straight on the motherboard. There it can just be snapped off and replaced with RAM of the same settings for that motherboard (i.e., SDR or DDR, appropriate clocking speed range for the motherboard). In laptops the concept is similar, but gaining access to the RAM is very brand-specific. Often times easy access is only available for additional RAM. I would recommend looking at the instructions that came with your laptop.

What stores data and programs while you are using them?

How do you adjust your laptop brightness on Windows XP?

What is the explanation for the anatomy of an E-commerce application?

There are a few basics that separate an e-commerce website from others:

  • Ecommerce sites allow users to select any number of a company's products for purchase online.
  • They allow users to checkout and pay for these products online in real time using a paypment processor.
  • Online retailers will then fulfill and ship the order to the customer directly.
  • Customers have a place to log in on the website to see past orders, file returns or submit questions to the company.
  • From an administrative standpoint, ecommerce software is generally much more robust, offering a variety of product management, marketing, and customer management features neither included nor necessary with other websites.
Successful ecommerce operations offer a quality product, excellent customer service, and, at least today, regularly engage their customer base online via social media and other means of outreach.

Why does disk fragmentation slow down the operation of the computer?

Fragmentation is when files are stored in small pieces scattered all over the storage medium. In spinning disk technology the read head has to move around to find and read each piece. This fragmentation makes the reading of files take longer. When the data is defragmented it is stored all in a row and the read head can find the data much faster.

Note that flash memory technology has no moving parts and doesn't suffer from fragmentation slow down. In most cases the data is actually purposefully fragmented for wear leveling, increasing the durability of each read/write element.

How do you reset a computer that will not reboot?

If the computer is stuck in a situation where it no longer accepts commands and doesn't shut down as requested, you should give it amble time so that any potential pending operation can complete or fail gracefully. If the situation doesn't change, you should consider forcefully removing power.

In a desktop PC, this is easily accomplished by unplugging the mains cable from the wall socket. In a laptop or other portable device, you may also need to remove the battery.

Note this is an emergency measure. Forcefully removing power in this manner can cause data loss or even damage to hardware. Modern systems are designed to cope with unexpected power outages, however. You'll need to allow extra time when re-starting, as the operating system will (hopefully) scan the hard drive or flash memory drives for errors caused by the sudden power outage, and attempt repair.

Where can I find the cheapest laptops and computers?

Distinguish between udp and tcp protocol found in transport layer?

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is considered to be a 'reliable' protocol for the transport of data. This is because it uses a applies a conversation mechanism that involves establishing a connection (a process known as 'hand-shaking') before sending the data and waiting for the receiving computer to reply.

If the receiving computer didn't get the complete data (e.g. it didn't arrive or it was corrupted) then it will request that the sending computer retransmits the data.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is considered to be an 'unreliable' protocol because it does not bother with the hand-shaking or the error checking. Data is transmitted and is assumed to arrive at the other end. It's up to the Application Layer (not the Transport Layer) on the receiving computer to sort out the datagrams that arrive and check that they're not corrupted.

IF the receiving computer is going to request missing or damaged UDP packets then it's up to the application to do so, not the Transport layer.
