Not sure if my question counts, but I've always wondered if Adobe programs (specifically Photoshop and After Effects) benefit from high-speed RAM. I know more ram is great for AE since it allows for longer previews, but does the clock speed make a difference?

Not sure about AE but PS seems to give little to no cares about ram speed: http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Adobe-Photoshop-CS6-Memory-Optimization-182/page2

What happens if you put 2 completely different GPUs and don't SLI or crossfire?

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

They just work independently.

So if you like plug in one monitor into one and another monitor into another GPU, are they gonna run independent, or will one just show?

How the hell OS like Windows are made, I mean, how they program them? I'm seeing programing in class, and it seems that you need something to work in to make something.

 

Well, my question is more like: How the first OS were made? They wrote the code in white sheets and then with magic transformed to binary and made it run on PC's?

what is cas latency?

Column Address Strobe is the amount of time it takes for the RAM to respond back with the information requested by the computer.

 

Example:

Let's say the RAM has a CAS latency of 9 (ns), and in the ram I've stored a value of "Hello World!".

 

From the time when the computer requests it, to when the RAM returns the data, 9 ns will have passed.

What does a Hyper Threading do?

It allows the processor to utilize all of its power rather than sitting there doing nothing sometimes. It basically performs the setup for the next operation as it executes the current operation.

It's something unpredictable. But in the end is right. I hope you've had the time of your life.

Can someone explain how fan controllers work? Thanks

They allow you to connect multiple fans to it and then allow you to adjust fans speeds either based on DC voltage control (sending the fan 40% / 60%/ 100% power) or PWM (turning the power on/off constantly--the slower you want it to go the more time it spends powered off).

Thanks for the quick response. Also, can you explain how to setup fans in a case? I get confused with intake, bringing cool air in and taking it out. (I usually google it but can't go into depth right now, in class)

Intake fans -- are usually placed in the front and occasionally bottom of the case. Exhaust fans are usually placed up top or out the back.

Look at that fancy title.

Edit:

Oh right a question. Why are 16x (or just any high speed lane) lanes generally the prefered top slot on motherboards?

I want to put a sound card in my system without restricting airflow to my video card, shouldnt it just be standard to have a 4x lane first, followed by a 16x??

 

Because it's closer to the CPU/RAM. The closer the x16 slot is to the CPU/RAM the less interference occurs. An x16 card is processing alot of data and if it's a graphics card the time it takes for the information to get the CPU and be displayed on your monitor is critical and when we're talking milliseconds inches matter.

Also, I'm not positive about this but if you put a 4x lane on top of an x16 it would cause a huge bottleneck within the system.

My guess is because they have different needs. like US has $ and UK has the Fancy E. And there are probably other reasons like as far as i know you guys use commas in (Fancy E)3,50  and we use periods $3.50 so for ease of use it might be different. im kind of talking out my butt right now but to me it makes sense.

 

Also thanks for the response.

well the north America QWERTY because when poeple with mechanical typewriters ( you know the old ones that use ink rebons that you see in old black and white movies ) with the DEVORAK layout jam a lot when they type too fast because the most use letters were to close to each other so the letters jam, Someone ( can't remember who ) move the letters around so that the typewriter jam less and the QWERTY was born

what makes a moused A any better than mouse pad B?

Traction, uniformity, and quality of material. The degree of which varies depending on preference.
