Whats the difference between Access Point (AP) at Wireless Broadband Router (WBR)? Because it seems that both of them almost equal in terms of form and function. Which of the two is the best? If it is AP, can it be used for sharing internet access? Answer: As far as I know, AP have the similar function with switch, a connection divider. The difference is, switch uses cable, and AP is wireless. So its unlikely an AP can operate as internet sharing device. Wireless broadband router (WBR) has the advantage of routing function. Which one is the best? The best is the one which suitable for your needs.

AGP 4x and AGP 8x

I got a very old PC with Pentium III 933MHz and Asus TUSL2-C motherboard. For the graphics, I use Riva TNT2 32MB. A friend of mine still has a GeForce-4 MX 4000 or Radeon 9550 but they are an AGP 8x graphic cards. The questions are, can the AGP 8x cards be used on the motherboard which only supports AGP 4x? Which one is the better? Answer: You can replace the cards with your friend’s cards if you want. But why? You will not get a performance boost because the graphic cards will only run at 4x speed on your motherboard. But if you really want to upgrade your system, try Radeon 9600 or above or GeForce FX5700 or above if you can find them. Beside the performance is quite good, they also support DirectX 9.

I wonder what is the difference between dual-core processor and Core 2 Duo . Is it just a marketing strategy from Intel? Answer: Previously, it means that dual core processors means the processor has two cores or dual core. An example is like a series of Pentium D and Core Duo or Core 2 Duo from Intel and AMD Athlon64 X2 . As for naming, the Core brand is used by Intel to replace the "Pentium" brand which is not being used anymore. So, after they launched Core processor, and continued with its second generation, the Core 2 series, was like the Pentium and continued by Pentium II, and so on. Duo processor means that the processor uses two cores (dual core). If it only uses one core, called a Core 2 Solo, while the processor with four cores called Core 2 Quad . Intels dual core processors have started their own at the end of the era Pentium processor called the Pentium D. Technically, Intel claims that Core 2 Duo is more efficient power up to 40 percent compared with its pred...

DDR and DDR2 memory

What is the difference between DDR1 with DD2 memory? Why the price of DDR1 memory is more expensive than the price of DDR2 memory? I use a computer using DDR1. Can I use DDR2 memory there? Answer: The difference between DDR1 and DDR2 memory are: - In the chip production process. DDR2 memory is manufactured with better technology, can be set at a higher clock than DDR1 chips, and consume less power. This makes DDR2 memory chip runs cooler while working at standard clock. - For the memory modules, the notch positions of DDR1 and DDR2 is different. DDR2 is a little bit towards the middle while DDR1 is slightly towards the edge. DDR1 memory prices are more expensive because the law of supply and demand. DDR1 memory production has decreased. Some manufacturers have even stopped making DDR1 memory, while demand is still there. This makes the price more expensive. DDR2 memory is much much produced for current PC systems generally use either DDR2 memory for AMD or Intel. Thus, with a considera...

I use two language in my computer (I got Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2), English and Arabic. The problem is, if I write with Microsoft Office (Microsoft Word) with Arabic input, the Arabic numbers is not working. So if I wrote Arab number, it showed latin number on screen. But if I typed Arab letter, it worked. Whats wrong? And is there Arabic version of Windows XP, or is there any software for Windows that I can use to type  Arabic?

If it doesnt work, use Windows XP Arabic. There is a version of it. Even Windows Millenium has an Arabic version.

Perbedaan procesor box and tray

Gambar
Ada dua macam proccessor yang dijual dipasaran yaitu Processor Box dan proccessor Tray.Proccessor tray biasanya dijual dalam kondisi tanpa BOX. Processor tray ini kinerjanya atau kwalitas kerjanya dibawah proccessor box dan juga tingkat kestabilannya lebih rendah dibanding proccessor box. Hal ini disebabkan karena proccessor tray dibuat biasanya dalam kondisi ter overclock, sehingga panas yang ditimbulkan akan cenderung menjadi tinggi yang pada akhirnya membuat komputer kurang stabil / sering terjadi hang saat dipergunakan dalam jangka waktu yang terlalu lama dengan kondisi membuka banyak file/mengakses banyak file dalam waktu bersamaan. Masa garansi processor tray biasanya paling lama hanya satu tahun, dan harga nya relatif lebih murah dibanding proccessor box. Cara paling efektif dalam membedakan processor box dengan proccessor tray adalah: cek masa garansi nya (processor Intel box / AMD box bergaransi 3 tahun), lalu cek serial number nya, serial number ini harus sama dengan yang ter...
