What is Reverse 10-Key data entry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Data Entry

Reverse key entry is where an operator enters a numeric entry on a ten key pad and then enters the same data in reverse order. This reduces operator keying errors. This only refers to a machine function, not a data entry job - Reverse Key or Reverse 10-key in data entry refers to the use of numbers within the letter keys. The original keypunch machines and early data entry terminals used what is now considered reverse key. The nine on the top row is the 0, U the 1, I the 2, O the 3, J the 4, K the 5, L the 6, M the 7, the common key is the 8 and the period key is the 9. To change from alpha to numerical the keyer holds down the shift key. Actually data entry is much easier with reverse key as it eliminates the transition from alpha keys to the numeric keypad.

Will a PCI Express graphics card work in a PCI-X slot?

Asked by Wiki User

NO. If you have a pci-x slot, probably it is a server, and you want to upgrade your graphics card, you can buy a PCI card and plug it into your PCI-X slot. It should work probably.

Will pci express x 1 work in a x16 slot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer after this one is absolutely incorrect. A PCI-e x1 card is absolutely compatible with a PCI-e x16 slot, regardless if it is a rev 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, or even 3.0. It is indeed smaller, but that's one of the main reasons the ground pin / physical notching is present on these cards. It is safe to install so long as it is anchored.

x16 is compatible with x8, x4, and x1. It is this way, and it has always been this way.

----(Previous, incorrect answer)

No, it would be too small and may damage your motherboard and card.

Yes it should. The PCI Express 2.0 is backwards compatible with the PCI x16 1.0 and 1.1 slot motherboards. However, PCI-e 2.0 cards on 1.1 and 1.0 motherboards will not be able to run at their max capacity.

Is the mother board the mastermind of a computer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, the CPU is the brains of the computer and interprets instructions received, equivaqlent to your brain responding to stimuli and selecting a course of action to follow. An equivalent analogy for the motherboard would be your neurological system. The motherboard, like neurotransmitters, receives and transmits messages to and from input/output sources (keyboard, mouse, etc.) to the CPU.

What is the multiplier if your front side bus is 133 MHz and your processor runs as 2.53 GHz?

User Avatar

Asked by Poppymike71

Im guessing your multiplier would be around 19x or so, you could check this by entering your BIOS at startup and checking in there.

Ususally to enter the BIOS you hit one of the following:

-Esc

-F2

-F10

-F12

-Delete

One of these usually enters the setup.

If it's a Dell computer, just about ALL the time, Dell is notorious for cracked motherboards. For all others......electrical surge frying some component, a cracked trace on the motherboard, a cracked solder joint. And just about any other time they don't know what is wrong.

How is a CPU different from a motherboard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the chip that actually performs the calculations that drive a computer. The motherboard is the board on which the CPU sits, and has the bus on which data is passed to the various input and output sources. Motherboards also usually contain slots for accessory cards (sometimes called daughterboards) such as a video card or network card.

The motherboard would be considered the nervous system, arteries and internal organs of a computer. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) would be considered the brain of a computer.
