Why is a SATA hard drive faster than a PATA hard drive since SATA supports serial transmissions which slower than parallel transmissions?

This is answered in Answers.com's Computer Encyclopedia <parallel-vs-serial>;. Following is my explanation based on this.

Basically, with parallel data paths, transmission speed along those conductors varies due to physical differences in the lines (manufacturing quality and damage are two reasons that spring to my mind). This variation gets more important as transfer rates go up and bit times go down. Coordinating the bit arrival times (when has a byte arrived?) requires additional logic circuitry.

It is much simpler to time the arrival of bits along a single serial path (with near constant delay) than to match up the bits of a parallel byte (arriving at different times), so bits can be transmitted at a faster rate. Eventually, the parallel benefit is offset entirely by the overhead due to synchronization of the parallel bits.

The performance of parallel buses can be improved in several ways, and system board buses take advantage of this. The conductors can be shortened, widened, made more uniform, and protected better. These all increase cost and would make cables larger and less flexible.

For today's transfer rates, it is now quicker and cheaper to design and manufacture faster serial data cables than to design and build the synchronization circuitry needed for parallel transmission. In addition, the synchronization logic increases power consumption, and thus heating.

Another benefit is that the cables are smaller, which restrict air circulation less, reducing possible hot spots in a computer enclosure. Also, smaller cables are generally more flexible.

Why do you delete upper and lower filters?

Deleting Upper and Lower Filters is a way to solve problems related to viewing the CD/DVD Drive on My Computer. It is common to do this when a person can no longer see the Drive on My Computer, and/or the CD/DVD ROM Drive does not read or write any disc that is inserted into the drive. Upper and Lower Filters are codes in the Registry Editer that represent other, possibly virtual CD/DVD ROM drives that may have been installed from the internet that are corrupted. Deleting the Filters deletes a block on the original CD/DVD ROM drive that is caused by the corrupted programs. In other words, Upper and Lower Filters block the CD/DVD ROM drive from working properly.

What is the 10-40 window?

the 10/40 window is a name given to the area within 10 and 40 degrees north of the equator. The name was given by a Christian missionary in 1990 because of the difficulty in that area for Christianity.

What is the windows xp command to access the registry edition?

I believe "regedit" is what you want. Just type that into the "Run..." box or Command Prompt (CMD.exe). If that doesn't work, you can also try editing through Command Prompt, using the reg command. to get started, just put "/?" after a command, like "reg add /?". This will give you all the information you will want to use the commands.

How do you clean windows?

Spray it with glass cleaner or windex and wipe with soft rag or paper towel. Wipe in overlapping circles until clear.

Who can remove covenents from land registry details?

There are two main types of covenant which can be recorded on the land register, namely personal and restrictive covenants.

Once registered, restrictive covenants continue to bind the land/property indefinitely. As time passes or circumstances change the covenants may become outdated e.g. housing densities imposed in the early 1900's may not fit with current redevelopment plans.

In many cases the land/property owner will try to get the covenants removed. For a restrictive covenant to be removed it must be clear that the whole of the land which has the benefit can be precisely identified and that all the persons having an interest in that benefitting land have joined in and agreed to the removal - this is a rare occurrence.

Such an agreement would be reflected in a legal deed executed by each party. An application would then be made to either remove the restrictive covenant(s) or reflect the contents of the Deed.

Restrictive covenants can also be extinguished by the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) where they have decided for example that the covenant is out of date/touch with modern times

Personal covenants tend to fall or are removed as and when the ownership changes although there are circumstances where they can continue - the question however is routinely raised with restrictive covenants in mind so the answer is limited to that context as a result.

How can you check your devices in your computer?

You can open the Device Manager to view all of your devices, to get there, click start, run, then type devmgmt.msc, then press ok.

In fact, the above way can only tells you a little information about your computer devices. To learn details, you need use some software. Try free software such as TuneUp360. It will make free computer check the time you open it. And it will report the complete details of all your hardware, software, network, security, performance and stability information. You may visit http://www.tuneup360.org/scan-computer.html to learn more.

What is an operating system?

An operating system can be defined as a global application that acts as an intermediary between a computer user and the computer hardware. It manages the hardware and software resources of a computer. It allows the computers to run programs. An operating system allows the computer to start and function. It allows you to navigate your computer. It allows all the components of a computer to operate together to do tasks such as printing text to a printer. A word processor application sends its print request to the Operating System and the operating system carries out that task. A computer would likely be unusable without an operating system, unless the software is able to act as its own OS.

The goals of Operating system is to execute user programs and make solving users problems easier, to provide a convenient environment for the development and execution of programs, and to schedule computational activities to insure good performance of the computing system. Some operating systems are more user friendly than others. Ideally, the system should include easy to use icons, and easy to use pop-up instructions as needed. It can either be a graphical user interface (such as Windows, Mac, OSX) or a command line (Linux/Unix/DOS). It is the background in which all other applications and services run.

An operating system has two primary functions. Firstly, it dictates to application programs what they can and cannot do. Secondly, it manages the computer hardware on behalf of applications. The two functions are not unrelated.

It also manages execution of user programs to prevent errors and improper use of computer and operations and controls of I/O devices. If you had two applications, A and B running on the same computer, and no operating system to supervise them, then program A could overwrite the memory occupied by program B, or vice versa, program A could overwrite program B's files on disk. You could have the two programs trying to read from the same keyboard, or print on the same printer, simultaneously, and so on.

Additionally, if there was no operating system to manage the hardware, then applications would need to concern themselves with the minutiae of how to save data to disk by programming the hard disk controller, or obtain input from the keyboard by interrogating the keyboard controller, instead of getting on with the calculation of somebody's payroll, or whatever else that application was supposed to do. Computers with no operating systems relies on the application programs to manage minimal hardware. For instance, application programs would need I/O support libraries.

What were the features of the Universal Automatic Computer developed by Eckert and Mauchly?

The UNIVAC became the first commercial computer made available to business and industry. This machine used magnetic tape to store input and output instead of the punched cards used in previous machines

What is a freeware operating system?

Freeware is software that is licensed to you without charge, and a freeware OS would be the software for an OS licensed to you without charge.

a good free ware is Linux OS they have several to choose from and do not have a bunch of system processes running in the background like windows it also allows you to manipulate it and start it up the way you want to unlike windows

Why is it that handheld operating systems have lesser capabilities as compared to PC operating systems?

i would say it is due to the lack of processing power, memory and storage capabilties of the handheld system in comparison to that of a PC, the Operating system will be comparable to that of older PC operating systems developed for less powerful computers.

Lots of people say that Linux is the best because it wont get so easily overloaded.
