BF2S Forums My homework is a joke:p

Objectives
1    To review the Binary system.
2    To state some attributes or factors affecting the overall performance of a CPU.
3    To identify different families of CPU and motherboards.

E-Learning Activity 1
Down load the file: COS 2007 Week 05 ELearning Binary Review from Assignment 1 in MEL->Week5 ->Learning Material Assignment 1and submit through the view and complete link after you have completed the review assignment. (softcopy)

E-Learning Activity 2

This warming up activity will focus on the Performance and Maintenance
1.    Under the Control Panel, double-click at the Folders button
2.    Select to view Category view from left pane


3.    Select Performance and Maintenance
4.    Select See basic information about computer


5.    Record the processor model and the RAM size through MEL-> learning material ->week 5. using the View and Complete link for e-learning assignment 1.



E-Learning Activity 3:  Motherboard and processor E-Learning
Visit http://www.computer.howstuffworks.com/motherboard.htm .
From this site, explore with the help of the power point slide given in MEL-> learning material->week 5:
1.    Answer the power point questions at each exploring phases.
2.    Make a comparison table for the different motherboard attributes, processor types, RAM types, RAM sizes, number of RAM slots, number of PCI slots and others.
3.    From the comparison table, make a simple comment or inference on what your exploration phases have helped you to learn motherboard, processor and its computer system architecture better.
4.    Submit the above through MEL->Learning Material->Week 5->Assignment 3->View and complete link.

E-Learning Activity 4:  Processor E-Learning
Visit Intel at www.intel.com, www.amd.com, and Apple at www.apple.com to find their fastest processor. Explore to help you understand processor better
http://www.intel.com/products/processor … /index.htm  or http://www.geek.com/procspec/procspec.htm

1.    Tabulate the finding and make a simple comment or inference on the finding.
2.    Can Apple run on Window operating system and what are their implications? Find supporting document in the web.

A resources for detailed information on a large variety of processors and other computer hardware is http://www.tomhardware.com/cpu.htm and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Showimage.aspmotherboard view or http://www.geek.com/procspec/procspec.htm.

3.    A 2.4GHz Celeron processor will almost always be slower than a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 because of their design. Do you agree? Do some research to determine if the increase in processing speed is worth the extra money?

4.    Submit all the three answers to MEL->Learning Material->Week 5-> Assignment 4-View and complete link.
