What is ata5?

Parallel ATA (PATA) is an interface standard for the connection of storage devices such as hard disks, solid-state drives, and CD-ROM drives in computers. The standard is maintained by X3/INCITS committee[1]. It uses the underlying AT Attachment and AT Attachment Packet Interface(ATA/ATAPI) standards. The current Parallel ATA standard is the result of a long history of incremental technical development. ATA/ATAPI is an evolution of the AT Attachment Interface, which was itself evolved in several stages from Western Digital's original Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) interface. As a result, many near-synonyms for ATA/ATAPI and its previous incarnations exist, including abbreviations such as IDE which are still in common informal use. After the market introduction of Serial ATA in 2003, the original ATA was retroactively renamed Parallel ATA. Parallel ATA only allows cable lengths up to 457.20 mm (18.00 in). Because of this length limit the technology normally appears as an internal computer storage interface. For many years ATA provided the most common and the least expensive interface for this application. By the beginning of 2007, it had largely been replaced by Serial ATA (SATA) in new systems.

Is a hp pavilion dv7 better than a hp pavilion dv6?

Depends on what you plan to use it for.

In terms of sheer power, the dv7 is "better" than the dv6 because it has a newer processor (3rd gen i7 vs 2nd gen i5), and a better screen (1600x900 vs 1366x768).

However, in terms of price efficiency, the older dv6 is "better" because its age has reduced its price by on average $100 compared to the dv7. The extra $100 is, in my opinion, not worth the slight improvement, because it will not be noticeable in every-day use.

How do you get the web camera started on toshiba?

On a Toshiba laptop, you see you don't have a camera, and there really isn't a way to get a camera. A web camera is a different story. On a Toshiba laptop there is no way at all to get a camera, or web camera. You can't get a camera such as iMovie, or Photo Booth. Those are only for Mac computers. I have photo booth on my Mac computer at school... And iMovie. And to let you know it is really fun. But, Toshiba can not get a camera or web camera on it. Its difficult to find. And this is the answer! Trust me. I even went to Toshiba and they told me that there is no way to get a camera. So, therefore you cant get a camera on a Toshiba laptop. Done, that's final! Don't believe or try anything else because it will not work. You're just going to waste your time. Believe this answer that I am giving you.! Bye!

Can you use 2 Ethernet cables to connect a laptop to a PC computer and to the internet?

Your laptop, and probably your PC will probably not have 2 Ethernet ports to connect two Ethernet cables. It is possible to use both WiFi and your Ethernet port. It is also possible to add an additional Ethernet card to a PC or add a USB or PC-card based Ethernet interface.

If you did have a machine with two Ethernet ports or wanted to use both an Ethernet port and a WiFi connection, there is a routing problem. The system needs to know when to send (route) something to the internet and when to send it to the other computer (PC or notebook). You would need to manually assign the default route (for the internet connection) and with a different network id, assign network IP addresses to the connections between the notebook and the PC. How this is done depends on the systems you are using. It is different for Microsoft Windows and Linux implementations and may even vary depending on the version of Windows.

A more practical method is to connect both machines to your internet connection, your router. They will be on the same network. They will both be able to access the internet. They will both also be able to communicate with each other through the router.

Learn how to, or find someone to, configure file sharing on both machines and establish which file and/or directories should be visible to the other machine or machines on your network.

If you are using a Unix or Linux version you can still share files by configuring a program called Samba. You will need do learn how to do it or find someone who already knows how.

What is better VAIO-dell-hp or Toshiba?

dell but dell studio

Answer:

That's pretty much a personal question. It really depends what your looking at as far as price, value, and quality. Dell is well know for having inexpensive budget and mid-range laptops. However when it comes to technical support it's reported that customers have issues with Dell in this department.

A few years ago, Toshiba laptops were known in the high priced range, but with the prices of hard drives, CPU and memory falling, the prices of Toshiba laptops also have also dropped very reasonably. I use a Toshiba L305D myself, but it seems over 80% of my customers use Dell (not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing !)
