Motherboard Components
What is a CMOS Battery?
The CMOS Battery had the function of provides power to maintain the contents of the CMOS chip.
What SPDIF header is designed for?
SPDIF header is designed to support an optional SPIDF bracket for digital audio playback.
What is a RAM?
A RAM is the main memory in a computer.
What are the differences between Single, Double, Triple and Quad Channels?
The difference between Single sided and double sided is that single sided is module has a single 64- bit wide bank of memory chips and double sided has a module that has two 64-bit banks of memory stacked for higher capacity.
What are Sound Card ?
Is a device which can be slotted into a computer to allow the use of audio components for multimedia applications.
What is Power Connectors?
The two power connectors inside the Motherboard are the 24-pin ATX, and the 8-pin EPS12V.
Why these connectors are grouped together on or near the front edge of the motherboard?
These connectors are grouped together on or near the front edge of the motherboard because front-panel leads are small and are difficult to install, some motherboard vendors provide a quick-connect extender for easier installation.
Give some examples of RAM?
SO-DIMM vs DIMM
Single-Sided vs Double-Sided
Static
Dynamic
Synchronous Dynamic
Why ram compatibility is important?
Is an important part of the computer as it stores data and instructions. Typically, the processor requests information from the memory, runs calculations and stores it back in the memory
What are Driver ?
Is a a device driver or hardware driver is a group of files that enable one or more hardware devices to communicate with the computer's operating system.
WHaat is the BUS Speeds ?
The bus speeds is the different buses in the motherboard connect to the different components.
What is DDR2?
Stands for "Double Data Rate 2." DDR2 RAM is an improved version of DDR memory that is faster and more efficient. Like standard DDR memory, DDR2 memory can send data on both the rising and falling edges of the processor's clock cycles. This nearly doubles the amount of work the RAM can do in a given amount of time.
What you know about RAM compatibility?
System and RAM Compatibility. While incredibly easy to upgrade and install, it's paramount to check compatibility when purchasing a memory upgrade.
What will be the first step in the preventing damage to RAM when installing?
For preventing damage to the RAM when installing we have that make some steps for preparing it like turn off the computer and unplug it from the AC outlet, for other side in the installing we have that line up the modules' connector with the socket, preventing the module from being inset backwards.
What is a Network card ?
is an electronic device that connects a computer to a computer network, usually a LAN.
What are different purpose of the motherboard features?Define 2 of them
Differents purpose of the motherboards features are front/top-panel audio, Music CD playback from optical drives and SPIDF header
front/top-panel audio:Microphone and headphones;found on almost all motherboards
Music CD playback from optical drives:this feature is rarely needed because windows media player and other media player programs can play music through the SATA.
What is DDR3?
Short for double data rate three, DDR3 is a type of DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) released in June 2007 as the successor to DDR2. DDR3 chips have bus clock speed of 400 MHz up to 1066 MHz, range in size from 1 to 24 GB, and consume nearly 30% less power than their predecessors. DDR3 RAM sticks for a desktop computer have 240 pins.
What is the difference between DIMM and SODIMM?
One difference between DIMM and SODIMM is the sizes. The DIMM has a bigger sizes that is use for desktop. But SODIMM is smaller and is use in laptops.
What is the difference between single sided and double sided?
The difference between Single sided and double sided is that single sided is module has a single 64- bit wide bank of memory chips and double sided has a module that has two 64-bit banks of memory stacked for higher capacity.
Give example of USB ?
The USB Device HID
The USB Device Mass Storage
What are several front/top-panel connectors that the motherboard include?
Some several front tops are power button,power light, drive activity lights, reset button, USB, and audio case speaker.
How many fan connector the CPU usually have?
HE CPU FAN CONNECTOR USUALLY HAVE FOUR PIN. THE EXTRA PIN IN THE FAN CONNECTOR IS USE TO CONTROL FAN SPEED.
What is the difference between ECC and Non ECC?
Difference between ECC and Non- ECC Memory. ECC stands for "error correcting code." Like parity memory,ECC memory detects and reports memory errors.
PAGING FILE (virtual memory) definition ?
is a reserved portion of a hard disk that is used as an extension of random access memory for data in RAM that hasn't been used.
Facts about Firewire ?
Operating at a speed of up to 400 Mbps it has, to a large degree, been overtaken by USB, which can operate at up to 480 Mbps
