Essential PC Expansion Cards
1. Graphics Card
The graphics card is crucial for displaying text, images, and graphics on your monitor.
Key Components
- GPU (Graphics Processing Unit): A processor dedicated to graphics, reducing the load on the CPU.
- Video Memory (VRAM): Dedicated memory for graphics processing, ranging from 128MB to 1TB. Common types include DDR2, GDDR3, GDDR4, and GDDR5, with clock frequencies between 400 MHz and 3.6 GHz.
- RAMDAC: Converts digital signals to analog for the monitor.
Connectors
- SVGA: Prone to noise and
Clean Install Windows XP
How to Perform a Clean Installation of Windows XP
The first step is to access the BIOS setup to configure booting from the Windows installation CD. Insert the CD into the CD/DVD drive and restart your PC.
To enter BIOS setup, press Delete, F2, or F11 (depending on your motherboard model) immediately after turning on your PC.
Within BIOS setup, locate the Advanced BIOS Features option and press Enter.
Configure the following options:
- First Boot Device – CDROM
- Second Boot Device – HDD-0

Mechanical Properties & Electrical Installations Overview
Mechanical Properties of Materials
Materials exhibit various mechanical properties in response to external forces, opposing internal cohesion forces. These properties are measured through material testing, including:
- Tensile (Stretching)
- Compression (Crushing)
- Flexion (Bending)
- Torsion (Twisting)
- Shear (Cutting)
- Plasticity
- Toughness
Key mechanical properties include:
- Mechanical Resistance: Capacity to withstand efforts without deforming or breaking.
- Tenacity: Resistance to shock.
- Fragility: Ease with which
Pneumatics: Compressed Air Systems and Components
Pneumatics: Study and Application of Compressed Air
Pneumatics involves the study and application of compressed air to create mechanical effects. M. Aquinas compressors are designed to increase atmospheric air pressure.
Reciprocating Piston Compressors are commonly used and require electricity or hydrocarbons to function. Types include:
- Single-Stage Piston Compressor: Converts motor shaft’s circular motion into linear motion using a piston-rod-crank mechanism.
- Two-Stage Piston Compressor: Air is compressed
