	Digital computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human beings can directly communicate with the computer through computer terminals, entering instructions and data by means of keyboards much like the ones on typewriters, by using a pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, or touchpad, or by speaking into a microphone that is connected to computer running voice-recognition software.
		The various programs by which a computer controls aspects of its operations, such as those for translating data from one form to another, are known as software, as contrasted with hardware, which is the physical equipment comprising the installation.
		Since computers are designed to operate with binary numbers, all data and instructions must be represented in this form; the machine language, in which the computer operates internally, consists of the various binary codes that define instructions together with the formats in which the instructions are written.

	clock speed - a Whatis.com definition
		In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for the processor.
		Clock speed is one measure of computer "power," but it is not always directly proportional to the performance level.
		As the clock speed in a computer rises without upgrades in any of the other components, a point will be reached beyond which a further increase in frequency will render the processor unstable.

	Howstuffworks "Why does my computer need a battery?"
		Computers are not the only things that have a small battery like this -- camcorders and digital cameras often have them, too.
		The RTC is essentially a quartz watch that runs all the time, whether or not the computer has power.
		When the computer boots up, part of the process is to query the RTC to get the correct time and date.

	Questions & Answers: How Important Are Computer Clock Speeds? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		PC clock speeds are a bunch of baloney — at least as a method of determining which computer to buy.
		Clock speeds are usually measured in millions of cycles per second (megahertz) or billions of cycles per second (gigahertz).
		The design of the processor, the computer´s system architecture, the system software and even the amount of memory in a computer all make a huge difference.

		People may think their computer clock, usually found in the right-hand corner of the screen, is used solely for convenience reasons, but if the clock runs fast or slow, it can affect the user's timestamps on anything from e-mail to e-commerce transactions.
		That is why a computer's clock will seem faster or slower when a laptop is left in a hot car, or the air conditioning in an office goes on the fritz.

	Re: Why is a computer's clock NEVER accurate ?
		My computer links via the internet directly to the Apple Americas/US (time.apple.com) server, which means the desktop clock on my computer is always accurate to the second.
		If you're referring to the CPU's clock speed (ie, my PPC chip, nominally clocked at 266MHz), variations occur because even though chip production is a fairly precise art, it is not an exactly precise art.
		So even though a CPU may be clocked at, say, 400 MHz, it may actually run slightly slower or faster than that.

	computer clock running slow - Got \| Apex? Forums
		well, since about a month ago i've noticed that my computers clock is running slow, it usually looses up to 10 min every 2-3 days and a couple times i turned it on to find the time had reset to 1997.
		i can't quite explain it, but iv'e noticed that when my computer is off and plugged in, which means the battery is being used, the clock runs far more accurately when i turn it back on.
		To keep the clock accurate while on, try turning your computer off for a little while every few days, that's always helped for me.

		The clock mechanism on the motherboard does not use a quartz based oscillator (unless they started recently) so MB based clocks are notorious for not being accurate and a weak battery will effect them more (they will ALWAYS lose time, not gain it with a weak battery).
		Most ATX powersupplies should provide the voltage needed to keep the clock accurate while they are plugged in whether the computer is running or not if you have a weak battery.
		If you have an AT powersupply, everytime you shut off the computer the clock will start to lose time if you have a weak battery because the powersupply provides no voltage when the computer is off unlike the ATX PS.

	Why does my computer lose time or not properly update its clock, and how do I correct this problem?
		If the clock in the System Setup continues to fail to update the time while the system is powered off, there may be a problem with the CMOS battery or the system board.
		When a computer is powered on, the CMOS clock synchronizes with the RTC during the POST (Power On Self Test) operation.
		The OS clock does not synchronize again with the CMOS clock unless the OS clock is manually changed (at which time both the CMOS clock and RTC are set to the time stored in the OS clock), or the system is rebooted.

		Unfortunately, accurate clock synchronization is not possible on Windows 95 or 98 -- you can only synchronize them to about a half a second and only by a series of clock jumps.

	Building an Intel 8008 Computer "Clock"
		Long before I completed designing and wire wrapping my computer I had hand assembled many lines of code in anticipation of the day when I could actually run the code on my own computer, although in the end, much of that code never was entered.
		The five hundred kilohertz two phase clock required by the 8008 is derived by dividing a two megahertz crystal oscillator by four using two flip flops.
		Four momentary switches are used to route the contents of the data switches on the front panel to the low address latch, the high address latch, the selected memory location, or the 8008 data bus during an interrupt request.
