Computer Literate

SRAM is memory. This controls the speed you need to open up applications or programs. SRAM does not need to be refreshed as long as the computer is on and has power available.

Word Size is the amount or size of data that can be moved from the CPU to the memory (SRAM). Measured in bits.(8 bits in a byte)

Overclocking is running the processor (brain of the computer) at a faster speed than the manufacturer suggests which can damage the processor. In comparison it would be like your brain on acid.(assuming your mother was a hippie)

Processor frequency is the internal speed of the processor. Basically it is the speed of the computer, how fast it processes information/data.

Data Pathways are the pathways for various types of data. For example data goes from the CPU to the ALU and back to the CPU. It’s a process/pathway that must be taken to get a result.

Primary, external and memory cache- Primary cache is within the CPU chip and runs at the same speed as the processor also called Level 1 cache. External cache is a little bit larger than the primary cache, but it is located outside of the CPU, also called Level 2 cache. Farthest from the CPU is the memory cache also called level 3 cache. Basically these are RAM that holds data and instructions.

POWERSTAX plc

POWERSTAX plc
Product Name: A0600 1U 600W Bulk Power AC-DC
Category: AC/DC

This is a great power supply unit for a midrange computer!

Features:
· 600W (this is the actual power)
· Efficiency 80-85% (energy efficient)
· Remote On/Off (you can turn the unit on by other means, rather than an actual switch)
· Overvoltage & Overcurrent protection (the power supply will turn itself off before the voltage reaches threshold or in the event of and overload, your power supply might fry but the rest of the computer won’t)
· Over-temperature warning and protection. (this warns you when the power supply is getting too hot)
· Power fail warning and fault alarm. (an audible alarm that tells you something is not working correctly, like not enough power coming to the unit)

So for all around sizable power, this would be the power supply to go with.

Overseas Tech Support.....Good or Bad???

A lot of jobs are being out-sourced in the U.S. today. The reasoning behind this is to save money. It's cheap labor and as a business owner you don't have to offer insurance or have insurance liability for your employees. However, by outsourcing jobs we are hurting our economy and pretty much wiping out our middle class. Not to mention that every time I have to call for tech support I can barely understand what the customer service agent is saying.(language barrier) As if computer tech stuff isn't enough of a language barrier its even worse when I cant understand what they are saying anyway!

I don't feel that it is better to save money versus customer service. Customers are loyal to those who give good customer service and in the end if you have poor customer service, you will loose your customers and eventually start loosing money due to the customer loss from poor customer service. I would feel the same way as a business owner.
