match that speed, Intel announced the Falcon Ridge controller which doubles Thunderbolt's throughput to 20Gb/s. In both cases, the peak performance is theoretical: actual real-world transfer rates will depend on cable quality and length, chipset and bus limitations and a myriad of other factors. Nevertheless, both provide the potential for vastly improved transfer rates when paired with suitable hardware. Therein lies the rub, of course: with the USB 3.1 standard requiring hardware modifications, no

port transfers 8 bits at a time and is a female port with 25 pins, and a game port is a female port as well that has 15 pins laid out in 2 rows. Most computers have now replaced these with USB ports. There are two different USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. USB port 1, transfers 12 Mbps and is 3 meters wide. USB port 2, transfers 480Mbps and is 5 meters wide. USB connectors come in two sizes, A-connector, and a B-connector, which is the smaller connector. A mouse and keyboard both use a PS/2 port

Focusing Marketing Efforts on Specific Groups: Teenagers or Youth Philip Kotler cited that in Marketing, a product is anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need. In retailing, products are called merchandise. In manufacturing, products are bought as raw materials and sold as finished goods. Commodities are usually raw materials such as metals and agricultural products, but a commodity can also be anything widely available in the open market. In our daily living, we

civil rights movement” when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white person (Loeb, 2010, p. 1). This was not Parks’ first involvement in a social movement. Before this event, Parks had been involved with her local NAACP chapter for 12 years. While attending a training camp on civil rights, Parks learned about a bus boycott by a Montgomery woman that occurred the previous spring. As you can see, Parks decision not to give up her bus seat did not occur on a whim. “Rather, she was part of

ports also include the HDMI port (High Definition Multimedia Interface). This one is the latest and is always digital. It’s able to support digital and to send audio as well. Most machines produced these days have this port. USB (Universal Serial Bus) are the other ports talked about. These are very common and may look similar at times but support different speeds. * USB 1.0 is the low speed interface, not common anymore but ran at 1 and half megabits per second. * USB 1.1 is known as the

Unit 4 Research Paper 1 : Port Expander A port expander is a device that allows one port on a computer system to connect to multiple devices. There are two basic types of port expander: internal and external. The internal expander has a connection inside the computer, typically on the motherboard. The external device plugs into the existing port and then has multiple places to connect. When not a part of the computer system, these devices are commonly referred to as splitters. For example, the

What is a Motherboard? The Motherboard is the main circuit board inside the PC. It holds the CPU and memory, provides expansion slots for peripherals, and, whether directly or indirectly, connects to every part of the PC. The essential motherboard make-up includes the chipset (known as the “glue logic”), some code in ROM and the various wired interconnections between the components know as buses. The chipset is fundamental, and controls how the motherboard interacts with everything else in the
