such an application starts, it will continue running for a relatively long period of time. Answer the following questions, briefly justifying your answer: * a. Would a packet-switched network or a circuit-switched network be more appropriate for this application? Why? For this scenario, circuit switching would work best because you have dedicated channels that will all for uninterrupted transmission even when there are quiet periods (no transfer) on the medium. There are inherent delays with

service, selection, savings and satisfaction from Circuit City to CarMax. Based on the VRIO framework, Circuit City had a competitive advantage which they applied to CarMax strategy. Their VRIO framework was based on efficient and effective logistics along with the 4w business model of service, selection, savings, and satisfaction which was valuable, rare, and difficult to imitate and organized to capture. By maintaining the same core competencies of Circuit City, CarMax has become the leading used car

There are many major components of the motherboard. The basic one to mention is the mounting holes. Without them, your motherboard would be exposed to elements that could ruin it. Two more basic components that are very necessary are the 4-pix ATX12 power connector, which connects the motherboard to the outside power source, and the CMOS battery, which is a battery powered semiconductor chip. The port cluster is where I/O devices will connect to the CPU. There are multiple PCI slots, which send information

In this chapter I will be talking about the user side and server side factors that influence the performance of a website. User side factors Processor Speeds The Processor of the computer does affect webpages. The reason why webpages are affected by this is that if the computer system has a processor that is not very fast, then it will take more time complete the tasks at hand. The processor is the metaphorical brains of the computer, as it specialises in processing tasks. If comparing a Pentium

Part 1 Question 1: What is computer architecture? Computer architecture is a set of rules and methods that describe the functionality, organization, and implementation of computer systems. The area includes in computer architecture has the fundamental physical components that constitute a computer system (hardware), the kind of instructions or language the computer can understand, and the underlying computer technology that manipulates these instructions (sometimes referred to as microarchitectures)

Computer system, are device’s that are programmed to carry out a set of logical operation automatically (Beal, 1). Computer system, has been around many years and has advance over time. Now computer system are across the world and fit with our day to day living. Computer system can come as an advantages to our day to day lives, for time saving nature, to reach something or ask a computer a questions. Using computer system save natural resources by limiting our need of paper and pencils (Kennan,
