Dear all,

            Welcome to AS computing class. I am Dr.Ravi your facilitator for this course. This course consists of two modules, theory and practicals. In theory we will have 12 chapters and in practicals we do have programming classes. You will sit for theory and practical exams at the end of the course, which is conducted by CIE.

All the best, keep moving, for there is always a helping hand above you to guide you.

what are the effects of formatting?

Asyraf Naim bin Jamal Shahid said:

Based on the Formatting video, I've learned that
- we have can repair or upgrade the version of window ( operating system) through formatting
- we have to install the window inside the hard disk

Why does a processor needs a direct cooling fan?

this is what i understood from the video. a processor is like a brain to the computer. the processor handles all the task done by the computer, the speed of the tasks done depends on the type of processor. dual core processor is like having 2 brains in 1 computer. with dual core, more tasks can be done at a time at a much higher speed

n the video about RAM also known as Random Access Memory, I Have learned that the RAM is part of the memory.. It is a flash/ memory which means that when the computer is off, the data in the RAM is erased..

Monitoring the temperature of Intel processor can be easily done by using program like SpeedFan

http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info and show hard disk temperatures. SpeedFan can access digital temperature sensors and can change fan speeds accordingly, thus reducing noise. SpeedFan can find almost any hardware monitor chip connected to the 2-wire SMBus (System Management Bus (trademark belonging to SMIF, Inc.), a subset of the I2C protocol) and works fine with Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista and Windows 7. It works with Windows 64 bit too.
