...thing you need to know about a processor is the speed in which it processes information and there are several ways to measure the speed and they can be misleading. The speeds differ from inside the processor and outside of the processor. You can measure the processor speed in GHz, the system bus in MHz which is the limiting factor of the speed for your new computer. The ratio between the processor speed and the system bus speed is known as the multiplier. In some older system you may have to configure the multiplier in the CMOS setting but however the newer models will do this automatically for you. CPU manufactures have come up with different ways to making the CPU do more work faster. True multiprocessing requires multiple processors and your system has to be designed to hold more than one CPU on a single motherboard. Another option is the dual core processors, which means incorporating multiple processors with multiple ALUs inside a single CPU. The ALUs process information independently but share a single controller. Cache memory uses SRAM where the rest of the system uses DRAM. SRAM is more expensive than DRAM.SRAM can hold its memory as long as there is power to it. There are three types of cache L1 cache, L2 cache and L3 cache. L1 cache is housed on the processor chip itself. L2 cache is inside the processor housing but is not on the processor chip itself. L3 cache is inside the processor housing but is located further away from the processor chip than L2 cache. There are...

...WORD PROCESSING INTRODUCTION Word Processing is one of the most widely used application programs today. Word Processing basically concerns using the computer for secretarial activities. This includes amongst other activities typing of text, filling, storage, retrieval and maintenance of documents. Word Processing software enables automated manipulation of words in terms of entering, storage/ retriveal and printing of text in various forms such as letters, reports, books, and so on. It is the single most common task carried out on PCs. Once a secretary/typist has used a word processing package, he or she will probably wonder how in the world anyone could ever have made do without it. Word Processing has virtually eliminated the need for tippex correction fliud and the need to re-type documents. Making corrections on an already printed document is not only time consuming and cubersome,but revising the same text electronically, using word processors is quick and quite easy. You simply make corrections and revisions to the text on the computer screen before the document is printed in final form. There is no limit to the numbers of times or the frequency of changes to any documents after being into computer. Word Processing is about working with words, and setting them on the paper. The characters of the alphabet are generally formed into words. Words are combined into sentences, following the rules of grammer. Word processingsoftware faciliates the handling of words...

...software development solutions. Since Information Technology and software development projects are all that Smith Systems Consulting does, they have the experience to know how to design, implement, and maintain a new system with the most minimal impact to your business. Smith Systems Consulting’s experience also allows them to understand the potential needs outside of the original scope, such as necessary hardware upgrades needed to support a software upgrade. According to the information sent to Smith Systems Consulting by Boardman Management Group, the Baderman Island Resort currently has 26 Windows XP computers with Word XP installed, 38 Windows 2000 computers with Word 2000 installed, and six Windows 98 computers with Word 97 installed. No matter whether Boardman Management Group decides to upgrade to the new version of Microsoft Word or switch to a different word processor all together, other hardware and operating system upgrades will likely be necessary. Smith Systems Consulting will be able to help Boardman Management Group make that decision by weighing the costs of the different solutions. Costs that Smith Systems Consulting would typically consider in a similar scenario would be the price of the software upgrade, the price of potential hardware upgrades, the price any necessary operating system upgrades, the labor cost of each potential solution, the employee training cost for the potential solution, the maintenance cost for the potential solution, and the support cost...

...A word processor is a computer program used to write, edit, print, and publish documents for school, work, or even use at home. A word processor in general can be used to create any type of document in plain text, rich text document, HTML, and XML documents. It also has many templates for use such as tables, and graphs for use with your papers and many other features. Microsoft Word is the word processor made by the Microsoft Incorporation, and usually comes in a package known as Microsoft Office and comes with other software such as Power Point, Excel, Groove, Outlook and other useful tools. Some of its features include: • Cut or copy and paste. • Formatting text: such as changing the size of the font, changing the color and even highlighting important phrases so those portions stand out. • Bullets and Borders: for keeping your paper organized. • Spelling and Grammar check: Which helps correct mistakes with spelling and grammar errors. I would first greet the customer with a positive attitude to make him or her feel more comfortable, I would also thank the person for calling. I would then ask her how I could help her or if there was something she needed help with. One possible challenge is people from other countries often have accents that sometimes make things impossible to understand, and also sometimes they may not understand fully what they are talking about. You can overcome this by speaking slowly or asking if the customer understands...

...William Shunn 12 Courier Lane Pica's Font, NY 10010 (212) 555-1212 format@shunn.net about 1,500 words Active member, SFWA Proper Manuscript Format by William Shunn No one knows for certain how many good short stories are passed over because the manuscripts containing them are formatted poorly, but it is certain that a properly formatted manuscript will be more eagerly read by an editor than a poorly formatted one. Here are a few suggestions. First, use black type on white paper only. Other colors make your work difficult to read, not to mention calling too much attention to the manuscript itself. Print on only one side of the page. For easy readability, limit your choice of font to either Courier or Times New Roman. Courier (my strong preference) is a monospaced font, which means that every character is exactly as Shunn / Format / 2 wide as every other. It's easier for an editor to detect spelling errors in a monospaced font than in a proportional font like Times New Roman (in which the "i" uses less horizontal space than the "m" does). With a monospaced font, there will also be fewer characters on each line, which can make your manuscript easier to scan. Still, many writers have come to prefer Times New Roman, and either is usually acceptable. (If in doubt, consult your intended market's submission guidelines.) Set your font size to 12 points. Use nice wide margins all around your pages. There...

...Description of Baderman Island Resort Located in Florida, The Baderman Islad Resort is managed by the Boardman Management Group. Baderman consists of several different entities such as hotels, restaurants, gift shops, a spa, a golf course and pro shop, and a convention center (Apollo Group, Inc., 2006). Currently, Baderman’s computer systems contain three separate operating systems (Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows XP). These three operating systems (OS) also use three different kinds of software for word processing (Microsoft Word 97, Microsoft Word 2000, and Microsoft Word XP). Because each entity was started at different times they are operating with the OS they were given at the time of startup. This means there has been a staggered upgrading process overtime resulting in each entity using a different OS and word processing software. Statement of Purpose This document will serve as a request for proposals to provide a solution to Baderman’s word processing issue. This solution will create the mold for Baderman by which all future OS’s and WPS’s are created. The purpose is to upgrade the existing system in place at Baderman by the company chosen through this process. The areas targeted for upgrade are 1. Different WPS’s (Microsoft Word 97, Microsoft Word 2000, and Microsoft Word XP) 2. Different OS’s (Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows XP) Business Goals Baderman’s business goals are to...
