With the advancement in the Electronics day by day, there is an increase in the number of features if we define a limit to our budget and at the same time if you stick on to a particular model the prices are being considerably reduced with each passing month. Right from the luxurious Laptops, LCD TVs, Mobile phones up to the simple USB flash drives the trends are similar. And during the festival seasons like Christmas, Pongal, Dusshera, Diwali, etc, there could be some mind blowing offers too. Buying a video camera , nowadays, most popularly known as HandyCam , is of course a little bit tough decision to make. Because it involves a considerable number of technical parameters to be taken into consideration before buying it. Unlike a DVD Player where only the number of formats or the speakers connectivity that matters the most, or unlike a LCD TV for which the screen size and resolution that matter the most, for the HandyCam there are a number of technical specifications to be loo

All over the world the most common technology used for the mobile handsets is the GSM technology, because there are the international players like Vodafone, Orange, Airtel, etc spread in many countries and continents and they use the standard SIM cards that work for GSM enabled handsets only. Though not as largely spread as GSM networks, the CDMA networks are also equally popular in countries like India with the players like TATA and Reliance . Now we need to know two terms – GSM and CDMA. GSM mobile handsets GSM is the acronym for Global System for Mobile communications (originally from Groupe Spécial Mobile) and is the most popular standard for mobile phones in the world. The GSM Association acts as the promoter of this network and according to their estimates 80% of the global mobile market uses the GSM standard.

Beep Counts

We observe generally that every time when our system restart's or when turn it on, can makes BEEP sound. Some times there will be a lot of variations in the frequency of beep sound.

MONITORS

Monitor is also called as ‘VDU’ Visual Display Unit. Monitors & TV set’s use ‘CRT’ Cathode Ray Tube technology initially. In the present environment a newly developed technology has changed the entire VDU’s drastically referred as ‘TFT’ Thin-Film Transistor known as LCD. In today’s world the monitor is not “Just a Display”, by HD (High Definition) a high quality video content is available today. With the High quality rendering Video and High end Graphics and Games there is an improvisation in display. Older : In previous technology CRT is used in display stands for picture tube. In CRT there is a glass envelop consists an electron gun and a phosphor-coated screen. When a computer sends display signals to a monitor these (signals) are converted in to electrons, beamed on to the phosphor-coated screen by electron gun creating an image on the screen. Newer : In present technology TFT technology is used in LCD displays. The main advantage of TF

RAM

Introduction : We all know RAM places a major role in increasing the speed of processing. RAM is referred as Random Access Memory. It stores data temporarily; it is a volatile memory that erases all the data contained when the computer is switched off. When system is on the major files i.e system files are stored in the ram for quick processing when needed. The background programs like antivirus and many other are stored in RAM for quick processing. This makes the processing slower for other applications as huge amount of memory is allocated for such programs. So by inserting the RAM in DIMM modules we can extend our primary memory. It depend upon number of DIMM modules. In Ram the data is randomly stored that why it is called RAM, as the data is accessed by the processor randomly. Ram is different from ROM as ROM is read only Memory. There are mainly two types of RAM · Static RAM (SRAM) · Dynamic RAM (DRAM) Static RAM is used mainly where high speed me

PORTS ON MOTHERBOARD

PORTS – IEEE – 1394 : This port is called Fire Wire first developed by APPLE, it is a high speed bus system and is used to connect multimedia and storage peripherals . USB: Universal Serial Bus is the interface and standard for the present devices like Digital cameras, Flash Drives and many other. COM(serial): The COM or communication port is used mainly connecting mice & external Modems, Presently USB has taken as standard. COM( parallel): These ports are mainly used for printers and scanners. PS2: There are two ports which are used by mouse and keyboard. VGA: This port is mainly used for CRT and TFT monitors. DVI: This port is used for connecting LCD/TFT monitors for receiving pure and lossless signals. Ethernet: This port is used for connecting the PC to a network (Internet, wan, Lan). DIMM slots: These slots are used to install memory modules .The number of DIMM slo

Motherboards

Introduction:- Motherboards are the most vital core component in a computer. The motherboard shuffles the data to the various components eventually in processing and result in output. Data needs a medium to travel between various components inside a computer. Motherboard comprises of more electrical components such as processors, capacitors, resistors, cables on the circuit. The fine tracks running all over the computer helps in connecting different components and these series of lines are called a bus. Parts Present on the Motherboard:- The basic component and slots are as follows · Processor socket · Heat pipes (or) Fans · Power connector · IDE ports for Hard drives & optical drives · SATA port hard drives (new Motherboards) · USB headers & Optional additional USB ports · PCI Expansion slots · USB, Ethernet, Sound ports. · PCIe slot for Graphical cards (New Motherboards) Working:- The components are directly or indirectly connected to the motherboard. Extension PCI cards or G

PROCESSORS

PROCESSORS: Hello friends, The major component of the computer which computes all the functions in the computer is the PROCESSOR. Introduction:- All of us know what the processor is? How it functions, but we have to know the types and functionality of the processors. The processor acts as a brain to the computer. The processor is one of most important core component in a computer which is mounted on the mother board. It performs complex mathematical calculations with the data we input. INTEL as well as AMD family processors become a generic term for computers. Types:- Today a single core is nearly to dissolve, as the fastest computing places a prominent role more than one processor is needed for the home as well as business environments. The server systems need more than … After single core processors, Dual core processors become a minimal standard for the present hardware environment. Today the major companies like INTEL & AMD has provided Dual Core processors. Now these companies

IBM ThinkPad security is great with the BIOS Password

IBM uses a secured EEPROM chip soldered on the motherboard of each laptop they manufacture. And they will set a specific password for each computer. According to IBM, when you buy the laptop, they will provide the ‘BIOS password’ or ‘Supervisor Password’ to you. That particular password termed as ‘ Supervisor Password’ is the BIOS password on all IBM Lenovo laptops. Even if you are the owner of a laptop if you lose your BIOS password, you need to take your laptop along with the proof of purchase to an IBM vendor and he will replace your mother board if it is under warranty or will charge you a fee for replacement. So regarding IBM ThinkPad Laptops’ security, the advantage is that without knowing the BIOS password even if somebody tries to physically remove the original hard disk supplied along with the laptop and replace it with a new blank hard disk, the hard disk just gets detected and they can’t use a bootable CD to install a new operating system in the new hard disk.
