button to open the Modem Properties dialog box.
o Choose the Connection tab, and then the Advanced tab button
to open the Advanced Connection Settings dialog box.
o The Extra Settings text box in the dialog box may already
have some text in it. This text is actually a set of commands
for the modem. Modem commands vary from one modem to
the next, but most use the command MO - that's a zero, not a
capital 0 - to tell the modem to keep the speaker off at all
 times. First make sure that the text box does not already have a
command beginning with M. (And note that &MO, /MO, and
MO are three different commands.) If there is an M command
already, replace it with an MO command. If there is not an
existing M command, simply type MO in the text box. (It's
okay to add it at the end of other commands that are already
there.) Choose OK, and Windows will send the command to
the modem every time it dials a connection. If this does not
work, you'll need to check your modem manual to see if the
modem has an oddball command for controlling the speaker.

5. Question 20. What Is The Difference Between An Intel Celeron
And Pentium Processor?
Answer :
The reason for the Celerons existence owes to the advent of an AMD
processor called the K6. AMD brought out a low priced alternative to
the Pentium, and Intel, instead of drastically reducing their pricing on
their "meat and potatoes" processor to meet that of the lower priced
K6 (and eventually, the Athlon), introduced a "crippled" version of the
Pentium, and called it the Celeron. (In response, AMD came back
with an even lower priced processor of appalling performance called
Duron, but that is another story)
Processors are commonly classified by their "Core" speed -- ergo, a
933 MHz Pentium III processor has a core speed of 933 MHz. There
are however other significant features that are "classifiable" within a
processor -- namely "bus" or "memory access" speed, and onboard
"Cache" size (and speed). The Bus speed is the speed at which the
processor fetches data from memory, and places it in the onboard
Cache, and also represents the speed at which it communicates with
its peripheral chipset. While each processor model operates at its own
"native" Core speed, the bus speeds vary according to the
motherboard (peripheral) Chipsets and memory with which they are
designed to work. Likewise the cache size will vary from
implementation to implementation. This distinction will become
significant in as we move on.

Answer :
Static random-access memory (SRAM) is a type of semiconductor
memory that uses bistable latching circuitry to store each bit. The term
static differentiates it from dynamic RAM (DRAM) which must be
periodically refreshed. SRAM exhibits data remanence,[1] but is still
volatile in the conventional sense that data is eventually lost when the
memory is not powered.
Asynchronous SRAM are available from 4 Kb to 64 Mb. The fast
access time of SRAM makes asynchronous SRAM appropriate as
main memory for small cache-less embedded processors used in
everything from industrial electronics and measurement systems to

a computer would not know how to communicate with its hard disk
and other devices. The BIOS is stored on a ROM (Read-Only
Memory) computer chip inside the computer. Many computers in the
past few years use "Flash EPROM" chips, which means the BIOS chip
can be reprogrammed with an updated BIOS. A BIOS may need to be
updated to fix bugs, such as the year 2000 bug, or an update may be
necessary in order to support new hardware protocols.
15. Question 30. What Is Bit?
Answer :
A bit (short for binary digit) is the smallest unit of data in a computer.
A bit has a single binary value, either 0 or 1. Although computers
usually provide instructions that can test and manipulate bits, they
generally are designed to store data and execute instructions in bit
multiples called bytes. In most computer systems, there are eight bits
in a byte. The value of a bit is usually stored as either above or below
a designated level of electrical charge in a single capacitor within a
memory device.
Half a byte (four bits) is called a nibble. In some systems, the term
octet is used for an eight-bit unit instead of byte. In many systems,
four eight-bit bytes and octets from a 32-bit word. In such systems,
instruction lengths are sometimes expressed as full-word (32 bits in
length) or half-word (16 bits in length).
16. Question 31. What Is Byte?
Answer :
 A Byte is equal to 8 Bits. A Byte can represent 256 states of

theater quality sound (better than CD-quality). Since it is on a disc,
you can jump to any scene instantly, and you never need to rewind.
A DVD-ROM is a DVD disc for a computer. This means a
multimedia encyclopedia can have even more multimedia with much
better quality (on DVD-ROM). You must have a DVD-ROM drive to
use DVD-ROM discs. If you have a DVD-ROM drive, then you can
also play DVD movies on your computer. Many systems with DVD-
ROM can output the video and sound to your TV and home audio
system, so you may not have to buy a separate DVD player.

exceptions to the select-then-do paradigm. In Microsoft Word, there is
a feature called Format Painter with which you click some already
formatted text, then click the Format Painter toolbar button, then drag
the mouse cursor across some other text. The other text will be
"painted" with the formatting of the original text selected. If you
double-click the Format Painter button, then it will be "locked" and
you can paint lots of text. When you are done, click the Format
Painter button again to turn it off.
Example: In notepad, click on 'Format' -> Click on 'Font...' -> Here
you can change the text formatting.

10. Question 25. What Is The Difference Between An Intel
Celeron And Pentium Processor?
Answer :
The reason for the Celerons existence owes to the advent of an AMD
processor called the K6. AMD brought out a low priced alternative to
the Pentium, and Intel, instead of drastically reducing their pricing on
their "meat and potatoes" processor to meet that of the lower priced
K6 (and eventually, the Athlon), introduced a "crippled" version of the
Pentium, and called it the Celeron. (In response, AMD came back
with an even lower priced processor of appalling performance called
Duron, but that is another story)
 Processors are commonly classified by their "Core" speed -- ergo, a
933 MHz Pentium III processor has a core speed of 933 MHz. There
are however other significant features that are "classifiable" within a
processor -- namely "bus" or "memory access" speed, and onboard
"Cache" size (and speed). The Bus speed is the speed at which the
processor fetches data from memory, and places it in the onboard
Cache, and also represents the speed at which it communicates with
its peripheral chipset. While each processor model operates at its own
"native" Core speed, the bus speeds vary according to the
motherboard (peripheral) Chipsets and memory with which they are
designed to work. Likewise the cache size will vary from
implementation to implementation. This distinction will become
significant in as we move on.

for the modem. Modem commands vary from one modem to
the next, but most use the command MO - that's a zero, not a
capital 0 - to tell the modem to keep the speaker off at all
times.
o First make sure that the text box does not already have a
command beginning with M. (And note that &MO, /MO, and
MO are three different commands.) If there is an M command
already, replace it with an MO command.
o If there is not an existing M command, simply type MO in the
text box.(It's okay to add it at the end of other commands that
are already there.) Choose OK, and Windows will send the
command to the modem every time it dials a connection.
o If this does not work, you'll need to check your modem
manual to see if the modem has an oddball command for
controlling the speaker.
