 A video card or graphics card is a piece

of hardware that can process the
graphics portion of our computer.

 Four most common types of video card

or graphics card is given bellow;
1. PCI video card
2. AGP video card
3. PCI Express video card
4. Integrated video card
5. PCI graphics card

 What is The Difference Between Quick
Format And Full Format in Windows?

1. Quick Format :
 A Quick Format is quick. To make the formatting process
quick, the drive is not checked for bad sectors. Anyone
looking at the hard drive or storage device would not
see any data and assume the drive is erased.
Unfortunately, the files are actually still there and the
volume could be re-built, to gain access to the files
again.
 If you are planning to re-use the drive and it's working, a
quick format is adequate since you are still the owner.
 Following

2. Full Format :

 A Full Format runs an additional step that checks the hard

drive for any bad sectors. This check is what makes the full
format take longer than a quick format. Unfortunately, like
the quick format, the files still exist and the volume could
be re-built to gain access.
 If you believe the drive has problems, a full format is a
good option to make sure no issues exist with the drive.
 What is Buffer in Computer?

 In computer science, a data buffer

(or just buffer) is a region of a
physical memory storage used to
temporarily store data while it is
being moved from one place to
another. Typically, the data is stored
in a buffer as it is retrieved from an
input device (such as a microphone)
or just before it is sent to an output
device (such as speakers). However,
a buffer may be used when moving
data between processes within a
computer.
 How To Partition A Hard Drive?

1. To start, make sure you have

enough free space on the drive to
create the new partition. To
check, open File Explorer and see
how much free space is on the
drive.
 You can only add a partition to
free space, so if the drive is mostly
full of data and files, you won't be
able to create a partition.

2. In the Start menu search box, type "Disk

Management" (or just "partition").
3. Click "Create and format disk partitions"
when you see it appear in the search
results.

4. Right-click the drive you want

to partition. (Be careful and
make sure you're choosing
the right drive.)
5. Right-click the drive you want
to partition. (Be careful and
make sure you're choosing
the right drive.)
6. In the dropdown menu, click
"Shrink Volume…"

6. In the Shrink dialog box, enter the size

you want the new partition to be in
the field called "Enter the amount of
space to shrink in MB:“
 Note: If you have a 1 TB hard drive
and you want one partition to be 400
GB, and the other partition to be 600
GB, enter "600000." This will shrink the
original partition to approximately 400
GB (slightly less, in reality) and add a
new partition that's 600 GB.
7. Click "Shrink."

8. Now you have a new partition, but it's

not yet usable space – in Windows
parlance, it's "unallocated." Right-click
the new partition, and in the
dropdown menu, choose "New
Simple Volume.“
9. To finish the process, format your new
unallocated partition.
10. Complete the setup wizard by
choosing the drive letter and format
(NTFS is almost always the right
choice).
 What is The “Temp” Folder? And
Should it Be Deleted?

 Depending upon the version of Windows

that you are using the location of the
folder might differ. For most users, the
location is “AppData/Local/Temp” while
for others it might be
“LocalAppData/Temp“. The size of the
folder can vary from user to user. It actually
depends on the number of applications
installed on your computer and the period
for which the operating system has been
installed.
 Should it Be Deleted?

 The Folder itself shouldn’t be deleted or tampered

with, however, the contents of the folder are entirely
safe to be deleted without any harsh side effect to
the computer. In fact, it is recommended by top
officials to delete the contents of the computer
periodically to avoid sluggish performance on the
computer’s part.
 How To End A Task Using Window’s
Task Manager?

 First, open Task Manager. To

do so, right-click the taskbar
and select “Task Manager”
from the pop-up menu.
Alternately, you can press
Ctrl+Shift+Escape to open it,
or press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and
select “Task Manager” from
the screen that appears.
 Following

 Second, In the simple Task

Manager view, select the
app you'd like to close, then
click "End Task.“
 The task will end.
 Warning: If you end a task
without first saving your work
you could lose data. It’s
best to close the
application normally, if
possible.
 Which is The Best Hard Disk in
Laptops?
 While solid-state drives (SSDs) have
become increasingly popular (particularly
for laptops) as they have expanded in size
while coming down in price, hard-disk
drives (HDDs) still offer the most storage
capacity for the money. As such, they're a
great economical option, particularly for
your home PC setup, where you won't
have to worry about potential jostling
damaging the drive's moving parts. Plus,
you'll be hard-pressed to find an SSD much
bigger than 2 TB, while you can find HDDs
10 times that size. If you are a graphic arts
professional or simply someone with a lot
of multimedia files, you will be better off
going with an HDD.
 Which is The Best External Hard Disk?

 Choosing an external drive isn't as simple

as buying the most expensive one you can
afford, however. The drive capacity is the
most important factor to consider, and it
can increase or decrease the cost
dramatically depending on your needs.
Other factors include the physical size of
the drive (is it designed to be carted
around, or to sit on your desk?), how
rugged it is, the interface it uses to
connect to your PC, and even what colors
it comes in. This guide will help you make
sense of these and many more questions
that arise while you're shopping for an
external hard drive
