Socket-604 is a 603-contact CPU socket used by some Intel Xeon processors. The Socket-604 has 604 contact holes, the empty contact hole is used for a dummy pin. This dummy pin allows Socket-603 and Socket-604 CPU's to be used in Socket-604 mothterboards, while preventing Socket-604 CPU's from being utilized in Socket-603 motherboards. Socket-604 supports a 533MHz Front Side Bus. The Socket-603 supports a 400Mhz Front Side Bus (FSB). The Socket-604 is a Pin Grid Array (PGA) Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket. A ZIF socket features a lever on one side Read More

A space elevator will facilitate faster and cheaper travel of humans, materials and equipment from Earth to space. This structure is slated to replace conventional 'spaceships'. Scientists and engineers are divided when it comes to the space elevator design. There are those who are convinced that tethering is necessary and there are those who believe otherwise. Tethered designs are more widely accepted than non-tethered designs. Components of a Tethered Space Elevator Tethered space elevators require a base station. The base station can be found on a huge floating barge out Read More

To understand what an unlocked cell phone is, it is important to first understand what a locked cell phone is. A locked cell phone is one that can only be used with one cellular service provider. In contrast, an unlocked cell phone can be used with any cellular service provider. When a cell phone is locked, it only recognizes a SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) card that the cellular service provider that the cell phone is locked to (a SIM card is a microchip that stores data and provides cellular service Read More

A PCI simple communications controller is a software component found on a computer that controls the PCI connected devices plugged into that computer. PCI (Practical Communication Interface) is a hardware component built into the computer that allows a wide variety of devices to physically connect to the computer via individual card slots. While the PCI allows the devices to be connected to the computer, the simple communications controller is responsible for managing the actions each device takes and how software interacts with those devices.   How a PCI Simple Communications Read More

The Need for Wireless Speakers A common complaint against home audio systems has been the cables that interconnect the speakers to the audio receiver, tuner, cd player, or stereo units. As more and more channels are added to modern home audio equipment the problem of connecting the speakers to the audio sources has exacerbated. Running cables through the house walls is messy and time consuming. Cables running over the carpet are a tripping hazard. Running cables along the ceiling or walls are just an eyesore. Modern digital surround systems can Read More

In a regular oven, a thin layer of air insulates food from the heat beneath it. This layer of air causes food to be cooked unevenly and slows cooking time down considerably. A convection oven is a type of oven that solves this problem by circulating the air within the chamber by using either one or two fans that are located below the heating element. Convection ovens cause food to be cooked quickly and thouroughly without being burnt and use less electricity than conventional ovens. This article will explain how Read More

In the ever-increasing race to create a more user-friendly World Wide Web experience by expanding options for Internet users, the opposite outcome can happen by isolating many users with complex Internet functions, programs, and terminology. So it is nice to see that the Internet user experience is getting easier and less complicated in some ways. One of these ways is with the implementation and use of widgets. The term “widget” can refer to any icon or graphical interface element that is manipulated by the computer or Internet user to perform Read More
