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

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.

Sometimes new equipment doesn't work properly with old version of BIOS, when you flash it (if it's supported), you enable new features and proper communication between the motherboard and new equipment.

yes, infact ddr and sdram can be on the same module. It just depends on what your motherboard need, here is a list of all the types of ram. SRAM: Static random access memory uses multiple transistors, typically four to six, for each memory cell but doesn't have a capacitor in each cell. It is used primarily for cache.

DRAM: Dynamic random access memory has memory cells with a paired transistor and capacitor requiring constant refreshing. FPM DRAM: Fast page mode dynamic random access memory was the original form of DRAM. It waits through the entire process of locating a bit of data by column and row and then reading the bit before it starts on the next bit. Maximum transfer rate to L2 cache is approximately 176 MBps. EDO DRAM: Extended data-out dynamic random access memory does not wait for all of the processing of the first bit before continuing to the next one. As soon as the address of the first bit is located, EDO DRAM begins looking for the next bit. It is about five percent faster than FPM. Maximum transfer rate to L2 cache is approximately 264 MBps. SDRAM: Synchronous dynamic random access memory takes advantage of the burst mode concept to greatly improve performance. It does this by staying on the row containing the requested bit and moving rapidly through the columns, reading each bit as it goes. The idea is that most of the time the data needed by the CPU will be in sequence. SDRAM is about five percent faster than EDO RAM and is the most common form in desktops today. Maximum transfer rate to L2 cache is approximately 528 MBps.

DDR SDRAM: Double data rate synchronous dynamic RAM is just like SDRAM except that is has higher bandwidth, meaning greater speed. Maximum transfer rate to L2 cache is approximately 1,064 MBps (for DDR SDRAM 133 MHZ).

RDRAM: Rambus dynamic random access memory is a radical departure from the previous DRAM architecture. Designed by Rambus, RDRAM uses a Rambus in-line memory module (RIMM), which is similar in size and pin configuration to a standard DIMM. What makes RDRAM so different is its use of a special high-speed data bus called the Rambus channel. RDRAM memory chips work in parallel to achieve a data rate of 800 MHz, or 1,600 MBps. Since they operate at such high speeds, they generate much more heat than other types of chips. To help dissipate the excess heat Rambus chips are fitted with a heat spreader, which looks like a long thin wafer. Just like there are smaller versions of DIMMs, there are also SO-RIMMs, designed for notebook computers. Credit Card Memory: Credit card memory is a proprietary self-contained DRAM memory module that plugs into a special slot for use in notebook computers.

PCMCIA Memory Card: Another self-contained DRAM module for notebooks, cards of this type are not proprietary and should work with any notebook computer whose system bus matches the memory card's configuration. CMOS RAM: CMOS RAM is a term for the small amount of memory used by your computer and some other devices to remember things like hard disk settings -- see Why does my computer need a battery? for details. This memory uses a small battery to provide it with the power it needs to maintain the memory contents. VRAM: VideoRAM, also known as multiport dynamic random access memory (MPDRAM), is a type of RAM used specifically for video adapters or 3-D accelerators. The "multiport" part comes from the fact that VRAM normally has two independent access ports instead of one, allowing the CPU and graphics processor to access the RAM simultaneously.

VRAM is located on the graphics card and comes in a variety of formats, many of which are proprietary. The amount of VRAM is a determining factor in the resolution and color depth of the display. VRAM is also used to hold graphics-specific information such as 3-D geometry data and texture maps. True multiport VRAM tends to be expensive, so today, many graphics cards use SGRAM (synchronous graphics RAM) instead. Performance is nearly the same, but SGRAM is cheaper.

Answer 2 Whilst I applaud the above poster for the indepth answer. They are wrong in the assumption that SDram / DDR Ram, can be used at the same time. This is NOT the case. Occasionally on older motherboards, there are slots for SDRam and DDR RAM, they CANNOT be used at the same time, due to the different speeds they run at.

Also there is now DDR II ram, which is faster still than DDR Ram, and again these cannot be used at the same time as DDR Ram. Hope this helps

Cadishead Computers

Yes. They are backwards compatible. Even with the installed 800MHz ram It will still only run at 667MHz speeds.

The PCI video card should work, but you may need to change a setting in your BIOS to recognize it. Enter "setup" when the computer starts, and look for a setting about video options. There is usually a setting indicating to seek an AGP or a PCI video card upon startup. NO! A pci video card will only fit into a pci slot in a motherboard. Likewise an agp will only fit into an agp slot. They are completely different. Both of these above answers are right and wrong. PCI and AGP are two totally different standards, but as long as you have an open PCI slot, you can use a PCI video card and opt not to use the AGP (Make sure to change appropriate options in your BIOS.) ==Answer == Yes you can use a PCI card where the slot is avaliable, but if your motherboard has a slot for AGP cards it is worth noting that the systemboard was designed with AGP in mind. It offers a system bus direct to the prossesor for faster unhindered communication.Running a PCI card on a AGP board may and probably will slow down your system performance.

There are separate industry standards for each so that products can be compatible from vendor to vendor.

For example, motherboards have standard connectors and sizes for different chassis configurations. RAM have different connector conventions so you cannot put the wrong type of ram into your computer.

A bios or cmos jumper

Yes. The connectors are the same. microATX is designed to be backwards-compatible with ATX, including interchangeable cases and power supplies.

The sockets on the outside of a computer that plug into an expansion card are called ports. Depending on the expansion card, there can be a variety of ports including USB, audio and network ports.
