I need a motherboard that has a 8gb memory(RAM) with ide/pata connector becasue my hard drive i have from my computer is only ide/pata and plus my computer is really slow with 2gb of RAMso please help me out by posting links with modern motherboards with ide/pata connectors thanks
The answer to this question can actually fills books, as you are talking about the architecture of Data Processing Machines However, in brief, the processor is attached by pins to the motherboard, which contains the resources like RAM and connections to the secondary memory and other devices. The process starts when you boot up the system. The machine wakes up and starts loading BIOS, stored in a special chip called CMOS. The BIOS initializes the basic devices, such as Keyboard, Screen, Drives, Ports etc. and then searches for the Operating System at a particular location (usually the boot sector of your hard drive). The drive starts rotating and loading the code in RAM, and executing instructions. When the process completes, you have a boot up PC. On the hardware side, its all about current and voltages. The processor can only distinguish if a particular voltage is present in a particular wire or not. That forms the basis of the binary nature of system. The processor reads the memory through the connectors to the mother board, by sending signal to the RAM and recieving the response. In that response, it can distinguish which pins are active passing current and which are dormant. As we know that computers use 8 such on and off signals to form one number, each of these on and off conditions are called bits, and the collection of 8 bits is a byte. So, when processor recieves one byte, it can know if this byte is a peice of CODE that is an executeable instruction or a peice of DATA. And this it knows because CODE and DATA are loaded in separate parts of RAM. If its a peice of CODE the processor executes it, i.e. passing it through it circuitary to peform the logical operation required, or in some cases, executing multiple instructions in the response, which are called Micro Code that is programed in the processor. I know it s kinda complex, but that s how it works.
Buy a new computer and have the old HD transferred to a new one. IDE and PATA are dated tech and it would require either special conversion cables or add-on cards to connect the drive, its just not worth it, and hard drives are cheap.
