For this short story, I will talk about my recent build of a new dedicated system solely devoted to video games. I have been building computers for both myself and peers for over 10 years now and yet I had the most difficulty with this build as I was also migrating from Microsoft Windows 8.1 Operating System to Windows 10. The first thing I had to do was install Windows 10 to a flash drive. This peripheral device would enable me to install the operating system on to the flash drive and then once all the hardware was installed, I could install windows 10 onto my computer. This was an almost complete overhaul of my previous build. It had been quite some time since I had upgraded anything for this computer. The first thing I bought myself was a CPU with Intel’s hyper-threading technology which would enable me to use much more of my processor power over various programs. …show more content…
I knew I would need multiple gigabytes of memory for all of the games and other tasks I planned on performing with my new computer. This memory is to help different programs run faster and smoother and is not used for saving information. It is not the same type of memory found in hard drives – which act as a form of permanent storage. I ended up finding a deal on 64 GB’s of RAM that I then used all the sticks in my new motherboard. After all of my hardware was installed, I plugged in my flash drive and installed the new operating system on to the CPU. As I had done this multiple times before I didn’t think much of it and left my computer alone to run and install windows. This however was a mistake. After coming back to check up on it, I noticed multiple errors that I would need to debug. First, there was some kind of conflict or other error installing some key windows system software, so I would need to repair the installation in order for it to operate
The common things stored in the RAM include the operating system, various applications and the GUI.
Well, Before anything else, here is a few names of components that need to be known to not be completely lost. The CPU(Central Processing Unit) (It processes everything from basic instructions to complex functions.) (Techterms.com). The Hard drive (the location of all the computer’s folders, files, and information, saved magnetically so even if turned off it’ll all stay saved). The RAM (Random Access Memory) (The more RAM your computer has, the more data can be loaded from the hard drive into the RAM, which can effectively speed up your computer.)(Techterms.com), The OS (Operating System) (just what it sounds like, this is the system that works the computer, as in Windows, Linux, and Apple OS.) The Graphics card (helps the CPU by processing the graphics portion of what the CPU has to process). The Disk Drive( this is the CD,DVD, or Blu-Ray driver that is installed to use CD’s DVD’s and or Blu-Ray disks.) The last major term to know is the Motherboard ...
RAM, ROM both different types of memories used in any computer to make it quick and to enable them to access the information stored on your computer. Each computer comes with a certain amount of physical memory, which is in fact chips that carry the data. This memory is referred to as random access memory or RAM. RAM is a part of the devices that operate stores the system application programs and processes that can be accessed randomly, i.e. in any order that the wishes of the user is currently running. Keep data in random access memory has always been the computer works, and gets the Delete as soon as the computer is turned off.
The computer processor is the brain of the system. Our client requires a heavy punch, multi tasking brain. Due to his low income and student status, he does not have a large budget to put towards his computer. The AMD AthlonXP 1900 was chosen because of it's low cost and it's higher performance rating than that of the higher priced equivalent Pentium 4. The AMD AthlonXP 1900's speed is 1.6GHz. This means 1600Hz, which is a very fast processor. Amazingly, the clock speed of this processor is faster, albeit barely, than the Pentium 4 2.0GHz processor, and is much cheaper as well. This is important, as, for less cash, our student can afford a better processor.
my computer now runs much faster than it was before. I currently have 8.00 GB of DDR3 RAM on my PC, and I plan on eventually
This machine has power. Its Fourth-generation quad-core Intel Core i7 processor is recorded to be the fastest performance in the history of MacBook Pro. Thanks to the speeds...
Installing the software on your newly built pc should seem fairly easy but it’s possible when doing so that your hard drive may become corrupt. If this were to happen you would have to order a new drive and wait for it to come in delaying the entire process. One risk involved in buying a computer could be that you read all the specs and did your research but you buy it and get it all set up then realize it doesn’t have enough power for what you want. So basically you just spend however much money on something that doesn’t even do what you want it to do properly.
“Hey, do you think I can go riding with you guys someday?” I tentatively asked my neighbor. “Yeah dude, you can borrow my extra bike if you want to.” Instantly, I was filled with elation and apprehension. I had not ridden a bike in over a year and now I was going to go mountain biking for the first time in my life.
The next step is putting the computer together. First you will need to put the
After countless hours of uncomfortable naps and tasteless meals between flights, we finally arrived at the unfamiliar land of America. Leaving all our dear friends and families behind, I was told that we came here in hope of a better future, my future specifically. I was never really socially active and at the time, English was a whole new concept that I have yet to understand. The inability to communicate with other makes it even harder for me to express myself and it mold my personality to become more antisocial than I ever was. There’s always this uneasy feeling that linger when someone talk to me and I cannot give them a response and it’s even harder to say something because I was afraid of making a mistake and make a fool out of myself.
Ever since I built my first computer early in 2012, I have had an avid interest in computing and technology. From hardware to software, I enjoy it all. I love everything about building computers, and I mean everything. From making the list of parts, to the Lego-like building process, to the final POST of the motherboard, I enjoy...
During my freshman year of college, I had met one of my best friends, who go by name Jill. (She lives in New Jersey and while I live in Pennsylvania) I found it to be strange that sometimes, it feels like we have grown up with one another but in reality we have only one another for four years and I couldn’t be more thankful. I can remember when we met at school as if it was yesterday.
The memory of a computer can be upgraded easily. The most effective way to do this is to get more RAM to plug into the motherboard. The user should first check in the manual for that specific computer to see if there is room on the motherboard for more memory. There is also a limit of memory a computer can have that should be checked as well as a recommended speed. If everything checks out giving a computer more memory is as simple as plugging it into the motherboard. (Raymond)
This particular computer also intrigued me because of its processor. The processor is a common one, an Intel Pentium 4. I like that Sony decided to stick with Intel, since they are an American brand. The exact processor they used is the Intel Pentium 4 3.6Ghz 560J with HT Technology. The Hyper threading technology is very helpful and I’m glad they decided to use it because it really makes multi-tasking even with complex software faster and more efficient and significantly cuts down on the lag. The 3.6 Gigahertz processor is very very fast and can handle even the most multifaceted functions. The bus speed is also very impressive coming out with a total of 800 solid Megahertz’s. This is an extremely fast bus speed considering it only has one successor the 1066 Mhz speed.
The computer has progressed in many ways, but the most important improvement is the speed and operating capabilities. It was only around 6 years ago when a 386 DX2 processor was the fastest and most powerful CPU in the market. This processor could do a plethora of small tasks and still not be working to hard. Around 2-3 years ago, the Pentium came out, paving the way for new and faster computers. Intel was the most proficient in this area and came out with a range of processors from 66 MHz-166 Mhz. These processors are also now starting to become obsolete. Todays computers come equipped with 400-600 Mhz processors that can multi-task at an alarming rate. Intel has just started the release phase of it’s new Pentium III-800MHz processor. Glenn Henry is
