I have a Sapphire HD4850 graphics and want to upgrade. Can anyone tell places in Bangalore where I can resell/exchange computer hardware?
There are many places in bangalore where you can exchange your hardware. but the price that you will get is questionable.
Try hardware shops on SP road in KR road. you will get an idea. you can also try the computer gallery stores near kaveri theater junction.
Is hardware the computer itself like Dell.Please give more examples.Is software like excel, word? Please give more examples for office related for both.
Any computer sold currently, even the low-end cheap ones should be fine for strictly office use since they don’t require a lot of power.
The only recommendation would be if you have Vista installed, get at least 1GB of RAM. If you have XP, 512MB should be fine as this will improve the overall performance of the PC.

Microsoft Office is the de-facto standard software, but there are alternatives like the free OpenOffice by Sun.

If you want to cut cost, then you can avoid Windows altogether and get a Linux based system. Some of these sell for $200 or less and for basic office use they are just as good as Windows and even less prone to viruses.

I don’t know much about fixing hardware but know the basic parts like the mobo, hard disk, and others. I do not even know how to build a computer.
Is there a specific error code or sound that the computer displays during a hardware failure?
In 80% of the time the only problem that might happen for a computer is the Hard Drive.
Because Hard Drive is the only high speed moving part spinning at 5400RPM -15000RPM (depends on the type and model) and if you change the hard drive even after 5 years and put a new one, your computer might last longer. Other problems such as CPU fan or Power Supply Fan getting very dusty so the system could not breathe, that is another PC killer problem, So make sure your computer is always dust free.
Gaming has reached new levels with newer and meaner machines coming into the market. The Xbox 360, PSP3, and Wii are all set to fulfill gaming dreams. What makes a console powerful and state-of-art is its hardware.
The Xbox 360 has a 20GB hard drive; wireless controllers; headset; DVD remote; Ethernet cable; AV cables; and external power supply.
Inside the mean gaming machine, the Xbox 360 is a powerful computer. The Xbox 360 harbors a customized IBM Power PC CPU with three processing cores with 3.2 GHz power. The system has a 3.2 GHz tri-core PowerPC based CPU and a 500 MHZ GPU.
The ATI graphics processor has a capacity of 500 million triangles per second. It has a chip, Xenos, designed by ATI. This raises the 3D effects and graphics to astounding levels of clarity and definition. The X box 360 is said to have a 16 giga samples p/s fill rate along with 4X antialiasing and 48 billion shader operations per second and a9 billion dot product operations per second. The specifications are breathtaking and according to the CNET editors review, ” it is hard to compare or comment on a machine with futuristic capabilities and one that is yet to have a comparison.” What the Xbox 360 will have is realistic graphics.
The memory system is GenX and has a 512 MB of 700 megahertz GDDR3 RAM on a 128-bit bus. The system has a unified memory architecture which is shared by the CPU and GPU.
The bandwidth is high and is utilized for z-buffering, alpha blending, and antialiasing. The system is designed to be efficient and save time and space on the GPU die.
The Xbox 360 has a six channel Dolby Digital surround sound. The sound files are encoded and an MPEG-2 decoder is included in the DVD video playback. The voice communication is handled by the console and allows cross-game communications. The system is sophisticated and has no voice echo.
The CNET Editor’s review has awarded the Xbox 360 a rating of 8.4 /10. According to the reviewers the Xbox360 will support high definition gaming. The Xbox 360, a gaming console developed by Microsoft is user-friendly and sturdy in design. The system offers downloads, communications, and excellent gaming opportunities. A GenX media hub the Xbox 360 allows playing of DVDs, CDs, TV shows, and games. It has the power and performance of a high-end gaming console which includes great networking. What is negative about the X box 360 is that it has a few design flaws that need ironing out. The power supply is oversized, the fan noisy, there is no inbuilt wireless networking, no DVI or HDMI output, a substandard DVD player, and no suitable storage for high definition content.
Opinions on the Xbox 360 are widely divided. A firm consensus can only be reached twelve months or so after the release when gamers and developers world wide begin using the console and discover the flaws and hidden facets.

what can i do to not cause static electricity when working on computer hardware?
plug computer into power supply and switch off at wall. that will keep you earthed. Then ensure you have one hand in contact with the metal of the case at all times (to maintain earth through your body).
I want to go to school for engineering.
I’m totally fascinated with computers (hardware not software) and mechanics. I like both but need to decide soon (class selections).
I want to know the pros and cons of both, and the difference in jobs/money,etc…
Also what type of classes would help in that field. Would I use physics for mechanical and chemistry for pc hardware?
You must study mechanical engineering instead of computer sc & engineering as There is market down in the computer science & engineering and mechanical engineering is always high job making education in industry.
As the popular saying goes; the best defense is a good offense, so too can it be applied to computer security. To safely secure a computer network a passive firewall is no longer enough. Hackers have learned and adapted their tactics to bypass firewalls and antivirus software. What is needed to defend your computer network is an active and intelligent monitor and defender. Closing off a network to internet can cause companies to lose sales and lead generation on top of which can hamper office productivity.
Before 1999 hackers would work in groups to attack specific targets with flood attacks and shut them down by overwhelming their computers and servers with garbage data. To perform attacks like this required sophisticated coordination and communication, which was difficult because hackers strongly protect their privacy. In 1999, that all changed because a single hacker was able to write software which allowed him to control a flood attack all by himself.
Defense Pro by Radware is the essential piece of hardware to protect against flood and denial of service attacks. Defense Pro is an intelligent tool that constantly monitors and analyzes data packets before they reach your network and servers. Defense Pro’s ability to analyze data assures that networks will continue to function even when under attack. Intelligent analysis means that Defense Pro can tell which data entering is important and which data is garbage data. Defense Pro also acts a switch controlling your bandwidth for maximum optimization. By dynamically controlling bandwidth, Defense Pro proactively isolates attack impact to prevent spread to users and applications, while ensuring wire speed forwarding of all secure traffic.
Defense Pro is so much more than a defender of networks. Defense Pro takes an active role in network security and optimization. Defense Pro does all of this with out slowing down the network, in fact Defense Pro built in switch will speed up and optimize your network usage. Do not sit on the sidelines waiting for an attack to happen, go get in the game.

If you’ve been following along with my series you may find after tackling the motherboard and all its intricacies this step should be breath of fresh air.
Choose which drive bay you want to install the drive to and remove the face plate off of that bay. It’s not really important which bay you use. I generally place it lower on the case face because that’s where it’s always been for me. If you’re installing a zip or CD/DVD drive simply pick the bay you wish. I have both a floppy and CD/DVD drive as I use both mediums to transport data.
Do you know why it’s called a floppy?
It is called floppy because it flops if you wave it. Seriously, do you remember the old 5 ¼ disks and how if you flailed them around they would almost bend double.
Now, slide the drive into the bay from the front. If your particular case has a drive rack, then you may need to remove the rack from the system and then screw the drive into the rack separately from the actual case. Otherwise, screw the drive into the case itself. Before doing so, make sure the front of the drive is flush with the front of the PC.
If you are using brackets to hold the drive in place, secure them now. You may need to temporarily disconnect the cables. Once in, tighten the drive in place. Double-check the connections, also checking the connections for other drives to make sure you didn’t bump one out of place.
This wasn’t necessarily the hardest step, but in my humble opinion this particular piece of computer hardware is vital. Try loading a new operating system or a needed document without either drive.

I can’t speak english fluently and I want to do job in BPO industry in India. Which Course is better for me CCNA or Computer Hardware?
define better?
Get a better job? well you’ll likely start with a pc setup jobs with both but at least you’ll be able to go further with the CCNA.
the market is saturated with certifications so its a buyers market and they all want experience if you don’t have it or certs if you have experience.
