what will desccrive a computer bus?

bus n. A set of hardware lines (conductors) used for data transfer among the components of a computer system. A bus is essentially a shared highway that connects different parts of the system—including the processor, disk-drive controller, memory, and input/output ports—and enables them to transfer information. The bus consists of specialized groups of lines that carry different types of information. One group of lines carries data; another carries memory addresses (locations) where data items are to be found; yet another carries control signals. Buses are characterized by the number of bits they can transfer at a single time, equivalent to the number of wires within the bus. A computer with a 32-bit address bus and a 16-bit data bus, for example, can transfer 16 bits of data at a time from any of 232 memory locations. Most PCs contain one or more expansion slots into which additional boards can be plugged to connect them to the bus.

Read the manual. It should have that information. Alternate... you can go to compaq/hp site to find out.

Depends moderately on the application but generally you'll find bus speed will have more effect as usually the bottleneck is not the processor itself but the pathways into and out of the processor.

Theoretically, yes. The CPU runs as fast as the bus will allow. If you have a 1000MHz CPU, but only a 133MHz bus, you will only get 133MHz worth of data at a time.\nSo, the CPU bus is usually limited by the data/address bus.\nCheers.

There is a little wire that goes from the back of your CD drive to your motherboard. Make sure this is not loose.

Here is a article that explains it pretty well.\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/article/id,110663-page,1/article.html

it is a type of bus which supports an accel. graphics port.

go to http://www.crucial.com put the name and model of your computer in the search place and it will show/tell you

hi\n\nthat will be displayed in the sticker which has comes with your motherboard box.from ther u can see and connect

RAM or random access memory is "volatile" memory.  It does not retain data when the power to your computer is off.  Your operating system or applications will save your information to your hard disk drive before shutting down your computer.  You don't have to worry about it.  Just ground yourself before opening the chasis, and ground yourself again every few minutes. A carpet shock is death to computer components.  Replace the old board with the new one then sell the old one on ebay!

Only your computer specs can answer that question. Certain computers and motherboards, can only handle a certain ammount of ram. And iin most cases only certain kinds of grafic cards will work with the motherboard that your computer is using.

go to drivers.com they have a lot of dirvers for computers and it's componentsl

Depends on what kind and how old.  Most of them only go in one way.  There will be a prong missing on one corner.  And you will see  how it goes when the old one comes out.  Make sure your motherboard will handle it also.

Types of computer network\n\n1) A bus network is a network architecture in which a set of clients are connected via a shared communications line, called a bus. There are several common instances of the bus architecture, including one in the motherboard of most computers, and those in some versions of Ethernet networks.\n\nBus networks are the simplest way to connect multiple clients, but often have problems when two clients want to transmit at the same time on the same bus. Thus systems which use bus network architectures normally have some scheme of collision handing or collision avoidance for communication on the bus, quite often using Carrier Sense Multiple Access or the presence of a bus master which controls access to the shared bus resource.\n\nA true bus network is passive – the computers on the bus simply listen for a signal; they are not responsible for moving the signal along. However, many active architectures can also be described as a "bus", as they provide the same logical functions as a passive bus; for example, switched Ethernet can still be regarded as a logical bus network, if not a physical one. Indeed, the hardware may be abstracted away completely in the case of a software bus.\n\nWith the dominance of switched Ethernet over passive Ethernet, passive bus networks are uncommon in wired networks. However, almost all current wireless networks can be viewed as examples of passive bus networks, with radio propagation serving as the shared passive medium.\n\n\n2) Star networks are one of the most common computer network topologies. In its simplest form, a star network consists of one central switch, or hub computer which acts as a router to transmit messages.\n\nWhen applied to a bus-based network, this central hub rebroadcasts all transmissions received from any peripheral node to all peripheral nodes on the network, sometimes including the originating node. All peripheral nodes may thus communicate with all others by transmitting to, and receiving from, the central node only. The failure of a transmission line linking any peripheral node to the central node will result in the isolation of that peripheral node from all others, but the rest of the systems will be unaffected.\n\nIf the central node is passive, the originating node must be able to tolerate the reception of an echo of its own transmission, delayed by the two-way transmission time (i.e. to and from the central node) plus any delay generated in the central node. An active star network has an active central node that usually has the means to prevent echo-related problems.\n\n3) A ring network is a topology of computer networks where each node is connected to two other nodes, so as to create a ring. The most popular example is a token ring network.\n\nRing networks tend to be inefficient when compared to star networks because data must travel through more points before reaching its destination. For example, if a given ring network has eight computers on it, to get from computer one to computer four, data must travel from computer one, through computers two and three, and to its destination at computer four. It could also go from computer one through eight, seven, six, and five until reaching four, but this method is slower because it travels through more computers.\n\n4) Mesh networking is a way to route data, voice and instructions between nodes. It allows for continuous connections and reconfiguration around blocked paths by "hopping" from node to node until a connection can be established.\n\nMesh networks are self-healing: the network can still operate even when a node breaks down or a connection goes bad. As a result, a very reliable network is formed. This concept is applicable to wireless networks, wired networks, and software interaction.\n\nA mesh network is a networking technique which allows inexpensive peer network nodes to supply back haul services to other nodes in the same network. It effectively extends a network b

Every motherboard has a part number, usually next to the serial number.  Copy it down, type it into Google, and it should come up with the specs of your MB including the type of memory required.
