Week Two De-briefing
This week's learning curve took a ping for the positive! I learnt quite a bit about hardware, Including DDR ram types and speeds, And how in the future the density will be increasing greatly the bits, For instance take old ECC unbuffered ram, it has 64x8 bit, But Higher density RAM has 64x4 bit, The 4 bit is the higher density. So the point of upgrading your RAM to higher Density DIMM RAM is to increase your processor performace.
Now Lets move onto the MOBO I learnt a bit about the ATX formfactor. This was Intels son of the Baby-AtForm factor, This factor was created to kick the butt of the baby-atFormFactor in many ways, Better I/O interface, current processors future processor technology advances. This formfactor was put out the masses in 1995.
Lastly I will touch base on UPS(uninterruptible power supply)
This is a very useful piece of hardware, This baby will instantaneously fire up when you experience a blackout or brownout, And it will run on battery power, On average these will run for a few minutes, before running out of battery power. They used to be mainly used for servers, business' and Government agencies, But now can be found in home based servers etc.
Ok I hope this summary can give everyone a gimpse into the week of my school. We do learn quite a bit more,and right now alot of our learning is involving programs, I may start getting into them as well.
