JUSTIFICATION

I would like to use Notaland as the basis of this assignment mainly because it would be easier for me to access at home as well as here at school. Notaland is an efficient and free program that allows you to make many different pages on your own personal 'notebook.' At home I do not have access to Powerpoint, therefore not being able to work on it after school hours.

Evidence of research into Multimedia presentation tools

Versatility What media does it allow me to use (text, images, video)?
Ease of use How friendly is the user interface for the designer (you)? How easy is it to add components to my presentation? How friendly is the user interface for the user, can visitors find what they need on your presentation? Are you able to create a menu system or is the user forced to worh through your presentation in a linear predetermined fashion?
Collaboration How well does the online tool allow me to work with my partner? Can we both work on the presentation at the same time?

The CPU

What is the function of the CPU?
CPU is the heart of any computer. Like a car it's the engine that runs the computer.

What was the name of the first CPU?
Intel 4004

Describe how the speed of CPU's has changed.
Its expanential. (Varies throughout the years but always rising)

What does MIPS measure?
MIPS stands for "millions of intructions per second." It is the rough measure of the performance of a CPU.

Research what is a dual processor, what is multitasking and how do the two work together.
Dual core processors have two separate cores on the same physical machine. This means they can do two tasks at the same time without interfering one with the other or using up the others memory or processing speed. These can be located on the same mother board or separate mother boards.  These types of processors are used when several different tasks or operations need to be done simultaneously. Mutlitasking and dual core processing go hand in hand because the two micro-processors work on the one computer but doing two different things at the same time.
