Chipsets A chipset is a set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found in the motherboard of a computer. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance. The chipset normally consists of two major microchips. These

Clip 1 Summary: There are three types of ports, serial, parallel, and game ports, and they have for the most part been replaced with USB ports. USB devices are hot swappable, can daisy chain, and 127 devices may be plugged into the computer USB ports. Modern mice and keyboards use PS/2 technology unlike older predated mice and keyboards, which used serial connectors, and a 5-pin bulky din connector. The network interface card is responsible for connecting your computer to your local network, a

Unit 10 Research Exercise Josue Tagle ITT Technical Institute NT-1110 1-What exactly is electrostatic discharge (ESD)? Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, an electrical short or dielectric breakdown. A buildup of static electricity can be caused by tribocharging or by electrostatic induction. The ESD occurs when differently-charged objects are brought close together or when the dielectric between them

Relationships and Patterns of Fractions: * Identify at least five relationships, and clearly describe each one. 1. Numbers involved in both the addition and subtraction of fractions need to have a common denominator in order to be solved, having the smallest common denominator will make the addition and subtraction easier since you would be working with smaller numbers. Example: 2/4 + 3/8, you could multiply the denominators and get 32 or just have 8 as the common denominator either way
