When referenced together, the use of the terms narrow-band and broadband, as well as their meaning, depend on the context in which they are being applied. Most people would already be familiar with broadband as a reference to Internet access that gives them adequate speed and bandwidth to comfortably execute applications over the Internet, stream […]
Broadband has come to mean an always on, high speed, high capacity / wide bandwidth access to the Internet. Broadband access can be achieved over a number of connection media, such as coaxial cable, satellite, wireless, copper wire, and fiber optic cable. Almost all Internet subscriber connections today are implemented over a broadband connection. Ethernet […]
Components such as power transistors, Central Processing Units (CPUs), and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) generate heat that needs to be effectively dissipated, otherwise the component can undergo thermal runaway and/or throttling, with the possibility of it eventually leading to catastrophic failure. To date, the most popular and effective solution in helping dissipate this heat, is […]
Almost all electronic devices incorporate some type of visual indication to provide feedback or to represent their current state. In the most basic form, this may be nothing more than an alphanumeric panel to display the date and time, or in the most complex, the rendering of a movie streamed over the internet and displayed […]
Over the years, like any other component in a computer system, the graphics capabilities and the display devices used have evolved in leaps and bounds. Increased graphics processing power has led to displays with more colors and ever expanding resolutions. But what happens when an old photo, movie or a computer game, designed for what by today’s standards is considered a low resolution, are rendered or played on a modern […]
Processors, such as the CPU and GPU in a computer system, are made up of digital gates, which are nothing more than discreet transistors that open and close, allowing the flow of electricity to pass through. There are literally millions of these gates in a processor, operating at extremely high frequencies, which is what causes […]
When building your PC, you need to consider the type of case you purchase for your build. While choosing a PC case might seem trivial, it is an important consideration in your PC build. For instance, the case you choose may determine the motherboard’s size, airflow levels, water-cooling support, noise output, cable management, and even […]
G-sync and FreeSync monitors provide hardware solutions to a persistent display problem: screen tearing. The competition between NVIDIA and AMD in providing a solution to screen tearing has given consumers a variety of options from both a cost and performance standpoint. G-sync monitors use proprietary technologies by incorporating a chip or module inside the dedicated […]
Computer case form factors outline the type of motherboard that will fit in the case and the number of components that can be added to the system. Bigger cases can host bigger motherboards and can accommodate more components such as disk drives and graphics cards as well as more powerful cooling systems. There are two […]
