Motherboards

location on the motherboard into which a controller card for a peripheral device is stored

That completely depends on the motherboard. Some of them weigh much more than others. Ones that you get in desktop computers weigh more than the ones in laptop computers, for instance. It also depends on what types and amounts of components are part of the motherboard. If you look at specs for laptops it will give you the total weight of the laptop, but not usually the weight of the motherboard itself, unless that is part of its advertising strategy. :) To look at different types of motherboards, you might want to look at newegg.com or a similar online store where you can compare specifications.

The 4 pin connector should have 4 colored wires. They are: Yellow - Left Rear Stop and Turn Signal Green - Right Rear Stop and Turn Signal White - Chassis Ground Brown - Tail / License and Running Lights If you are matching a vehicle to a trailer, be sure to verify this with a test lamp or meter. Some folks make up their own rules, and the connector could be wired differently from the standard!

Yes, as far as you consider 250 GB is high capacity.

Six screws usually attach the motherboard to the case via spacers or stand-offs.

AT power supplies typically use a mechanical button or switch to turn on. Depending on the age of the device, however, it may not be safe to activate it without a load, however. If no motherboard is attached, other devices that draw lots of power, like hard drives, should be attached.

They are the same size, but the processors are slower. ( The XT was a 16-bit 8088 computer, the AT was a 286 processor, a 386 was advanced enough to have virtual memory. The 486, even more powerfull had a built in math co-processor for the most part ).

All motherboards with the 915 chipset will have BIOSes that support LBA48 addressing. LBA48 supports a theoretical maximum of 144 petabytes (about 147,500 terabytes or 160,000,000 gigabytes). In other words, any drive you could conceivably purchase within the next 30 years (assuming harddrive space increases at its current rate) will work.

While at the terminal...

Restart the system

Press Ctrl-D after "Dell Embedded Remote Access Controller" is displayed

Press "E" to enable/disable RAC

Press "R" to reset the Interface

Press "Y" to save

4004

8008

8086

and series go on

80286

80386

80486

Pentium 1

Pentium 2

Pentium 3

Pentium 4

Dual core

Core 2 duo

Core 2 Quad

Upto CoreI7

So basically in a long time period Pentium 4 is an improvement on 8085

and basically today micro code of all these processor is of 8085

PC133 is an SDRAM standard. SDRAM is a type of RAM.

Data cables (called ata cables or serial or SCSI) simply transfer data from one device to the motherboard inside or even to another device hooked up to the same cable. An example would be a cdrom drive could transfer data for listening to music via the data cable and the motherboard would process it and produce sound via speakers.

That depends on chipset. For instance Intel X58 can support up 4 ports natively + 2 for marvell controller. Server motherboards have more SATA ports available. Newer generation motherboards can support 6 and more SATA port natively.

CPU, ROM BIOS, RAM, Operating System

Every motherboard includes a battery, as well as several other components. The battery is there because it powers the computer. Most batteries have between 2 and 4 hours of life before they have to be plugged in.

Most still have 1. Some will still have 2, but they are being phased out. I have not yet seen a PATA-less motherboard, but they are definatley on the way, if not already here. That said, 4, 6 and 8 SATA ports are common, and support is good.

If you have legacy devices you need to connect, SATA->PATA devices are made, and fairly cheaply, too.

3.0 GHz Pentium 4s were manufactured for both Socket 478 and LGA775.

Most DDR2 800, or better (e.g. DDR2 1066) should work, but to be sure that the RAM is compatible with the the motherboard, you can check the gigabyte webpage and download the PDF of compatible RAM-

Intel i7 kot. tp xtau lak dia punya function.

Intel i7 perhaps. but I'm not sure its function.

It depends on the specific model. Dell contracts several different manufacturers for their laptops and each has different habits of removable or not.

- AFAIK most of the XPS series have graphics cards soldered to the motherboard, but there are a few different motherboard revisions, so you can upgrade the motherboard E. G. m1530 has geforce 8400m or 8600m versions. m1730 has removable card and can be upgraded to 9800m GT or GTX SLI but only a Dell m1730 card. M1710 is actually the same as a Dell m90 or something and uses a few removable cards.

the studio XPS 1640 has motherboards with ATI 3670, 4670 and 5730.

-Dell Alienware m15x, m17x and m18x use MXM 3.0 B graphics just like most Clevo/Sager and MSI gaming systems. You can find and change out high end cards like AMD 6990m and Nvidia 580m in all of these.

- Dell Precision m6500 and m6600 also use MXM 3.0 B cards, come with professional Quadro and Firepro cards but can be changed for others. The m4600 uses smaller type MXM 3.0 A.

Anything released earlier than these laptops cannot use different graphics cards or can only use cards made for the specific model.

guessing is ok when connecting a wire to a front panel header connection. if It doesn't work no harm is done

This would all depend on your actual motherboard. Some boards do take a Pentium 3 chip. If you know the model of your board, then check the manufacturers website, for details of the maximum mhz allowed for it.

If you don't know the model number, then go to Google, and download a program called belarc advisor. Once installed, this will give you the in's and out#s of your PC. All hardware, and software installed.

If you find the board does take a Pentium 3 CPU, then you will need to purchase a 'slotty'. Basically this is a piece of hardware, that turns the black CPU, into a normal CPU. It slots inside the same place as the original CPU. With the added advantage of a heatsink and fan, which can be plugged onto the board.

Hope this helps

be safe

RAM stands for Random Access Memory, and it is the RAM that allows you to operate more than one program at a time on your computer. The more RAM you have, the faster your computer will be able to run programs. SD RAM was used on computers built some years ago, but manufacturers have moved on to using DDR RAM (double data rate ram), which operates faster. RD RAM is used on a limited number of computers.
