How Soon Can We Get Underway?
If we could absolutely know right away who was destined to buy from us, and distinguish these folks from non-buyers, selling would be a lot easier; don’t you agree?Of course, we can’t be certain. There are always surprises, like prospects that seem to return from the dead and suddenly buy without any fuss, and become profitable customers.QUALIFYING prospects is the process of determining whether people

CPU
The CPU or central processing unit, basicly the CPU interprets instructions and processes data generated by computer programs. The CPU is often seen as the 'brain' of the computer. The central processing unit controls other components.
Motherboard
The motherboard is often refered to as the mainboard, system board or mobo. The motherboard is the primary circuit board, Most components (CPU, Memory, Graphics cards, Sound cards, Hard drives, Optical devices, Network cards etc..) are attached to the motherboard. Either by cables or by plugging directly into the motherboard slots. Mainboards come in a range of sizes, or factor forms, however the most common is ATX.
RAM
RAM or Random Access Memory describes storage formats and equipment that allow data to be accessed in any order (random), not just sequence. RAM can be thought of as the 'working space' of your computer. Typically memory is cleared when the computer is shut down or reset.
Hard Drive
Hard drives allow the storage of data on the computer. They are generally found in two formats IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) or SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment). Hard Drives utilise magnetism to read and write data. A hard disk uses rotating 'platters' or disks which are made up of millions of 'bits'. These 'bits' can be aligned in two directions, one direction is assigned '0' the other '1'. Data is stored in binary code by exerting

Google Page Rank Updates
Many webmasters are obsessed with the Google Page Rank. Articles and books have been written about Google PR (Page Rank).

Graphics Card
The Graphics card or Video card provides, as the name suggests, the video output from your computer. Some cheaper motherboards, refered to as "All-in-One" Motherboards have onboard graphics. However these are very low end graphics solutions, and will only be useful for those not wishing to do anything but basic word proccessing, internet browsing and work. For those that use their computer to play games a seperate video card is a must.
Sound Card
Sound cards provide the audio output for your computer. Nearly all motherboards come with an onboard sound module these days, which for most people will be more than sufficient. However seperate sound cards can be purchased for those seeking higher quality, more feature rich audio.
Optical Drives
Optical drives (DVD/CD readers and writers) are similar to standard CD or DVD players. They utilise the same technology to perform the same tasks as the conventional devices, only made to function in computers.
