Which input device is used to contract computer games?
A joystick is probably the most common input device you'd think of when it comes to games. However, you could also use a flight controller, a trackball, or a mouse. But generally, you'd use a joystick unless you are playing a flight simulation game that requires a flight controller.
Reason why computer are better data processor than human?
From a strictly quantitative perspective, computers are better for two reasons.
1. They're fast. Much faster than humans. They can count things faster than we can see them.
2. They don't make mistakes. Human error is common; how often do we fail to carry the ten or just plain make a mistake in addition? Computers don't make those kinds of mistakes... ever. If the computer is designed properly, internal parity checking makes certain that the computer will shut down before it makes a mistake.
3. Everything the computer does is repeatable. It will do the same thing, the same way, every time.
It's all about the internal circuitry; switches, gates, registers, memory... all descriptions of electrical devices that perform their function the same way every time.

How do you know what graphics card is compatible with your PC?
In a PC made in the past 5 years there are two kinds of video cards, AGP and PCI-E. If you have a manual for your computers motherboard, or if you can look it up on the factory's web site that might be the easiest way.
If that doesn't work you can open up the side case and If you do a google search for "agp slot" or "pcie slot" it will display pictures of each type.
If you are still clueless you may have to ask a geek friend. Worst case, you can take your computer to a computer store and they will charge you an arm and a leg to upgrade your card.
There is also a website called www.canirunit.com that will (with no viruses, spyware or malware) scan your system to see if it can run certain games (which is a good system check tool whether you want to play a specific game or not). Once the scan is complete, it will tell you what on your system passes and what doesn't. There is a 'Recommended' tab right next to the 'Minimum' specs tab that will offer accurate upgrade suggestions. This is a good place to start looking for graphic card upgrades.

Get help, or risk ruining your computer.
If that doesn't dissuade you, read, read, read then read the instruction manuals, then read, read, read, read some more. Search the web for instructions, watch stuff about upgrading on you-tube. Maybe take a class at your local community college. Then get an anti-static wrist strap and do what needs to be done.

How can I remove a virus if the computer won't open Windows?
This is a complicated question, which could have manyvariables for answers. One way is to use another computer to download some tools to help clean your PC. Make sure you download the latest update files for the tools, too.
Burn those tools to a CD, then take the CD to your infected computer. Disconnect ANY connections to the Internet, reboot into Safe Mode and then use the CD to start cleaning your PC.
Some of the tools that will help are:
* Spybot Search & Destroy - Update, Immunize and then Check for Problems * Spyware Blaster - Update and Enable All Protection * HiJack This - DO NOT USE unless you know what you're doing. DON'T GUESS! * Cache Cleaner - Run this between every reboot while cleaning * AVG Anti-Spyware - Update and run Full System Scan * AVG Anti-Rootkit - Update and run Scan * AVG Anti-virus FREE - Update "" BE CAREFUL OF FAKE SPYWARE KILLERS ""
There are A LOT of programs out there that report to kill malware, but are hijackers that are really malware themselves.
If the programs (listed above) clear everything up, attach to the Internet, update ALL of them again and RERUNyour scans. It's important to run the scans multiple times to make sure everything is gone. One piece of malware left on your machine could open the door to several more, leading you back to the same situation you're in now.
If the programs don't clear everything up... you might also consider contacting some of the support forums (via anotherPC) for assistance.
NOTE: If you're downloading music or movies from the Net using Limewire (or something like it), the root of the malware problem will remain. P2P networks are NOT SAFE.
How do CPUs affect processing speed?
No. The hard drive's speed is independent of the processor. However, a slow hard drive can reduce the performance of the computer overall, especially if the computer has insufficient memory to meet the users' demands and has to cache a lot of data.
