Few questions

textbook · 05-06-2008, 03:05 PM

Can someone tell me where on this uploaded photo of a computer I bought from my friend is the BIOs?

ISA slots?

Cache?

To the left is the ISA slot (in my link), so it should be somewhere near the PCI-e Slots if I am correct?

(can't see a similar slot close to it because there are wires in front of it all, but I am not sure if I would've recognized it at all).

It doesn't look like it has an ISA slot, just PCI and AGP.

ISA is rather old why do you want it?

Ok dont worry about the ISA, guess I dont have one. I know the CPU is under the black fan with Intel written on it, is that a heatsink under the fan? What is the box next to that?

The green upside down battery looking things, what are they?

Trying to think if there is anything else important I need to identify.

It has no ISA slot. That is a heatsink under the CPU fan. If your talking about the green square under the CPU fan, that is a heatsink for the Northbridge chip to help keep it cool.

Yeah I mean the grill looking thing under the black intel fan, that is the heatsink, right. What about the box in the top left hand corner with a grill on it, what is that?

StrangleHold · 05-07-2008, 02:58 PM

The top left corner is your Power Supply. Under the CPU fan is the CPU heatsink and the green square with ridges on it is the Northbridge chip heatsink.

The Northbidge chip heat sink- does that mean chipset? What is it a heatsink for?

Well you call it a chipset when you include the North and Southbridge together. The heatsink is to help keep it cool. The Northbridge tends to run alittle warm.
