Here is the resource I used when I started stying to figure SCSI out

FIM website of the year 2007
Although I need some original ones, this will do fine untill I get my own pictures or graphics.

Nice site.
You have Socket A listed as 453 pins. I've found several resources listing Socket A at 462 pins. Can you confirm/refute that?
Thanks,
V
(Where did I get that 453 from?
Thanks for pointing that out!

Ultra Wide SCSI supports:
- 16 devices if HVD signaling is used
- 8 if SE signaling is used
- 4 devices if SE signaling is used with a cable length of over 1.5m
Don't worry, CompTIA won't ask the maximum nr of devices supported on a Ultra Wide SCSI bus with SE signaling and cable length of below 1.5m
Thanks for noticing!
That is a good idea, I'll see what I can do...
I'll try to cram in to a couple of sentences later, but maybe this will do for now:

Look at the cache at those Intel® Itanium® 2 Processors
Here's another good resource at intel:

Next in line is "Monitors and Video"...

just wanted to say : Thank you for sharing your talent , skills and abilities . I am currently preparing to take my A+ certification and hope to do well my first time .
This a Wonderful Site
ComputerLover1 :
Well people... it has been a while since my previous A+ core TechNote, but here it is, 10 pages long:
I've based it mostly on the 2003 exam objectives (Domain 6.0), which seem to cover networking in a bit more detail then the 2002 objectives, so for the current 2002 objectives this should be more than enough.
The 2003 objectives in gray, at the bottom of the TechNote will be added later this year when the new objectives take effect...
2 more TechNotes ("Portables", and "Displays") will be added this very month including many new practice questions.
Happy reading!
Johan
These TechNotes have been written by Tracey Rosenblath, co-author of Mike Meyers' A+ Certification Passport. If you have any questions about the TechNotes (and future practice questions) she writes for TechExams.Net, please post them here (as a reply on this topic.) You will see her 'disguised' as Paisleysky
Enjoy the TechNotes, and let us know what you think!
Johan
I´m from the Netherlands and just started A + core, 8 day course.
Anyway I just want to say that the info on here has helped me alot.
Thanks.
Another TechNote from Paisleysky will be hopefuly added this month, as well as 20 new practice questions, so check in once in a while
thanks
I hope this help
Is there any tips or advice you gentlemen and ladies can share with me?
Will your tech notes and doing practice tests be enough or should I be going over other material as well.
I have purchased the Enhanced A+ guide to Managing and Maintaining you PC 3rd edition. I have read 90% of it.
I am just nervous that I will forget something for I do not have a lot of bench work experience.
Thanks a bunch
