Question About Microprocessors?
Could someone please talk me through the differences between Microprocessors and microcontrollers.
Thanks ; )
Thanks ; )
microprocessor is just a CPU. The DRAM, SW are outside the device. There are pheripheria chips to support and connect the microprocessor to run.
Microprocessor based is a higher end chips that handle more complex design and tasks.
micro-controller is a very tiny cpu with very little memory and code space running inside in. Many time, all you need is give power and a clock to it and it will automatically starts running. A single chip that do small task. They are used in toys, cars, microwave, alarm, hifi and so forth. They are used as the brain for simple electronics.

well you are correct, you do need to update your bios to upgrade your processor. The thing is that with the motherboard you are using right now (the 900mhz) is going to be to slow for the new athlon 1.15ghz, that is what i
would recommend upgrading. As for your processor i think that you can not upgrade that alone and will need to take it in or contact 1-800-N-E-R-D
i wish you the best of luck. Remember that your computer is only as good as its modem
