| Processor Upgrades |
| 2008-12-12 23:33:06 |
Processor UpgradesSince the 486, processor upgrades have been relatively easy for most systems. With the 486 and later processors, Intel designed in the capability to upgrade by designing standard sockets that would take a variety of processors. Thus, if you have a motherboard with Socket 3, you can put virtually any 486 processor in it; if you have a Socket 7 motherboard, it should be capable of accepting virtually any Pentium processor (or Socket 7-based third-party processor). To maximize your motherboard, you can almost always upgrade to the fastest processor your particular board will support. Because of the varieties of processor sockets and slots—not to mention voltages, speeds, and other potential areas of incompatibility—you should consult with your motherboard manufacturer to...

| Processor Specifications |
| 2008-12-12 23:33:06 |
Processor SpecificationsMany confusing specifications often are quoted in discussions of processors. The following sections discuss some of these specifications, including the data bus, address bus, and speed. The next section includes a table that lists the specifications of virtually all PC processors. Processors can be identified by two main parameters: how wide they are and how fast they are. The speed of a processor is a fairly simple concept. Speed is counted in megahertz (MHz) and gigahertz (GHz), which means millions and billions, respectively, of cycles per second—and faster is better! The width of a processor is a little more complicated to discuss because three main specifications in a processor are expressed in width. They are ¦ Data I/O bus ¦ Internal registers ¦ Address ...

| intel chipset |
| 2008-12-12 23:33:05 |
You can’t talk about chipsets today without discussing Intel because it currently owns the vast majority of the chipset market. It is interesting to note that we probably have Compaq to thank for forcing Intel into the chipset business in the first place!The thing that really started it all was the introduction of the EISA bus designed by Compaq in 1989.At that time, it had shared the bus with other manufacturers in an attempt to make it a market standard. However, Compaq refused to share its EISA bus chipset—a set of custom chips necessary to implement this bus on a motherboard. Enter Intel, who decided to fill the chipset void for the rest of the PC manufacturers wanting to build EISA bus motherboards. As is well known today, the EISA bus failed to become a market success except for ...

Chipsets We can’t talk about modern motherboards without discussing chipsets. The chipset is the motherboard; therefore, any two boards with the same chipsets are functionally identical. The chipset contains the processor bus interface (called front-side bus, or FSB), memory controllers, bus controllers,I/O controllers, and more. All the circuits of the motherboard are contained within the chipset. If the processor in your PC is like the engine in your car, the chipset represents the chassis. It is the framework in which the engine rests and is its connection to the outside world. The chipset is the frame,suspension, steering, wheels and tires, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and brakes. The chassis in your car is what gets the power to the ground, allowing the vehicle to start,...

| bios |
| 2008-12-12 23:33:04 |
It is often difficult for people to understand the difference between hardware and software in a PC system. The differences can be difficult because they are both very much intertwined in the system design, construction, and operation. Understanding these differences is essential to understanding the role of the BIOS in the system.BIOS is a term that stands for basic input/output system , which at the most basic level consists of low-level software that controls the system hardware. BIOS is essentially the link between hardware and software in a system. Most people know the term BIOS by another name— device drivers, or just drivers . BIOS is a single term that describes all the drivers (low-level hardware control programs) in a system working together to act as an interface between the ...

| amd athelon chipset |
| 2008-12-12 23:33:04 |
AMD took a gamble with its Athlon and Duron processors. With these processors, AMD decided for the first time to create a chip that was Intel compatible with regards to software but not directly hardware or pin compatible. Whereas the K6 series would plug into the same Socket 7 that Intel designed for the Pentium processor line, the AMD Athlon and Duron would not be pin compatible with the Pentium II/III and Celeron chips. This also meant that AMD could not take advantage of the previously existing chipsets and motherboards when the Athlon and Duron were introduced; instead, AMD would have to either create its own chipsets and motherboards or find other companies who would. The gamble seems to have paid off. AMD bootstrapped the market by introducing its own chipset, referred to as the ...

| bios & cmos ram |
| 2008-12-12 23:33:03 |
Some people confuse BIOS with the CMOS RAM in a system. This confusion is aided by the fact that the Setup program in the BIOS is used to set and store the configuration settings in the CMOS RAM. They are, in fact, two totally separate components. The BIOS on the motherboard is stored in a fixed ROM chip. Also on the motherboard is a chip called the RTC/NVRAM chip, which stands for real-time clock/nonvolatile memory. This is where the BIOS Setup information is stored, and it is actually a digital clock chip with a few extra bytes of memory thrown in. It is usually called the CMOS chip because it is made using CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) technology. The first example of this ever used in a PC was the Motorola MC146818 chip, which had 64 bytes of storage, of which 10 bytes...

With our extensive experience dealing with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services(USCIS), Department of Labor (DOL) and other immigration entities, we have noticed few common mistakes that most small IT companies make. Such mistakes result in lengthy Request for Further Evidence (RFE) or even denials.As such we have tried to compile in this short release the most common mistakes. Note that the list is non-exhaustive but it only includes the common mistakes that our own office have noticed after the filing of more than 300 cases. We are sure that there are many other mistakes that can easily be corrected. This list is also limited to issues pertaining H1Bs new cases and transfers. We will compile another list for Labor Certifications and I-140 soon. H1B issues (New and Trans...
