What is virtual memory? In computing, virtual memory is a memory management technique developed for multitasking kernels.

This technique virtualizes a computer architecture's various hardware memory devices (such as RAM modules and disk storage drives), allowing a program to be.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is an Internet standard for electronic mail (email) transmission across Internet Protocol (IP) networks. SMTP was first defined by RFC 821 (1982, eventually declared STD 10),[1] and last updated by RFC 5321 (2008) [2] which includes the extended SMTP (ESMTP) additions, and is the protocol in widespread use today. SMTP is specified for outgoing mail transport and uses TCP port 25. The protocol for new submissions is effectively the same as SMTP, but it uses port 587 instead. SMTP connections secured by SSL are known by the shorthand SMTPS, though SMTPS is not a protocol in its own right.

While electronic mail servers and other mail transfer agents use SMTP to send and receive mail messages, user-level client mail applications typically only use SMTP for sending messages to a mail server for relaying. For receiving messages, client applications usually use either the Post Office Protocol (POP) or the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or a proprietary system (such as Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes/Domino) to access their mail box accounts on a mail server.

How would I describe the CPU (central processing unit) component of a computer system CPU is the unit in the computer system where the actual processing of the data takes place and also it controls the flow of the data.

FAT32 and NTFS are partition types

FAT stands for file allocation table which can store small data in it and FAT32 its version , its having very small size and not provide any security ,compression ,encryption and quota to data.

NTFS stands for New Technology File System it support large partition size and provide security,compression , encryption and quoty to data

Question : What is Hal in windows A hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is an abstraction layer, implemented in software, between the physical hardware of a computer and the software that runs on that computer. Its function is to hide differences in hardware from most of the operating system kernel, so that most of the kernel-mode code does not need to be changed to run on systems with different hardware.

HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) One of the key design features of Windows is that it supports multiple hardware platforms without the need for complete different versions of the OS. This support is accomplished through the HAL, which is implemented via the kernel-mode hal.dll module. All Windows components access hardware via the HAL, and multiple HALs are available that are specific to different hardware platforms. The installed HAL is chosen when the OS is installed (hence, why you can't take a disk from one machine and run it in a machine of a different hardware platform). The available HALs are listed here:

- Standard PC (non-ACPI) - Hal.dll - MPS Uniprocessor PC - Halapic.dll - MPS Multiprocessor PC - Halmps.dll - Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC - Halacpi.dll

- ACPI Uniprocessor PC - Halaacpi.dll - ACPI Multiprocessor PC - Halmacpi.dll

The installation process selects the correct HAL and copies it to the %systemroot %system32 folder as hal.dll. The last three HALs in the list are the most common.

What about the Cache memory? and it usage? Cache memory is a temporary memory.At the time of installation it will stores the required files to install.

Cache memory is storing the recently(continuously) accessed ur programs. so if u are opening next time. u can access fastly.

Cache memory is the type of memory that services the CPU.Its is faster than the main memory and allows the CPU to execute instructions and read and write data at a higher speed.

the cache memory is the temporary memory in the system its help the micro processor & increase the speed of PC the most used file store in cache memory and when u open the file the request not we sent in micro processor what we cache memory open the file.....and help the microprocessor...

What is the difference between fat32,ntfs? FAT-File allocation Table.This system less Security and not suport 10X OS(Operating System).FAT convert to NTFS but NTFS no convert in FAT. NTFS-New Tencologey File System.This file system more security and Increases two options-sharing & quota.NTFS file system not suport 9X OS(As-win-NT,win95,win98).

Fat32- File Allocation Table- It supports limited capacity of partition. And have less security.

NTFS- New Technology File System- It supports large capacity of partition. it has security, compression, encryption, disk quota.

NTFS-New Tencologey File System.This file system more security and Increases two options-sharing & quota.NTFS file system not suport 9X OS(As-win-NT,win95,win98). 1)fat 32 stands for file allocation table 2)allows acess to windows 95,98,win 2k,xp on local portion 3)maxi size of patition is 2 terabytes(TB) 4)maxi file size is 4GB file and folder encription is not possible NTFS:NEW TECH FILE SYSTEM 1)allows acess to local w2k w2k3, xp with sp2,sp4 etc 2)maxi size of patition is 2 terabytes(TB) and more 4)maxi file size is 16TB 5)files and folder encription is possible

these both are file system of operating system What is the full form of http? Hyper text transfer protocol.

Why do we call motherboard a motherboard?

manner all the i/o devices (hardware devices) directly attached to the motherboard & all devices know the motherboard first of all in our Computer system & after it any hardware device can communicate to other hardware device motherboard is known as motherboard because it is the board which interconnect all other hardware components and give space and accomadation for all other components Motherboard is a printed circuit board on which all I/O devices and other components are interconnected.

What is the difference between the Physical drive and the Logical Drive. How do we Identify? How do to configure the logical drive A physical hard drives is exactly that - a physical unit that can be handled. It is also referred to as a hard drive or HDD (Hard Drive Device)

A logical drive is a subdivision of a physical hard drive and is created using a disk partitioning programme.

A logical drive is unique since it can only be used for storage - it cannot be bootable or active. A logical drive can only exist within a specialised partition known as an extended partition. A logical drive can only be created on a physical hard drive - not on a removable disk because of technical reasons. Teddybear

BIOS-Basic Input Output System.The BIOS itself is software running in memory that consists of all the various drivers that interface the hardware to the operating system. The BIOS is unique compared to normal software in that it doesn't all load from disk; some of it is preloaded into memory chips (read-only memory, or ROM) installed in the system.
