gains that make Pentium 4 processor technological marvel that it is. So few, in fact, that Intel actually tracks those 62 programs on their website. Granted, there are a few areas where a computer with a Pentium 4 really does "shine" -- gaming, photography, video and music come to mind. In other words, if main reason you have your computer is to play Warcraft III Reign of Chaos, or if you are looking to burn downloaded Internet music to a cd-rom, then you may just be perfect candidate for a computer with a Pentium 4 processor in it. For rest us, though, spending that unnecessary money can only be considered a luxury.Consider this -- If Microsoft’s latest version of Office Professional runs flawlessly on a $239 Pentium 2-400MHz computer, does it really surprise you that Intel finds need to spend so much money trying to convince you to contrary?

| | What is DNS?Written by Stephen Bucaro
Continued from page 1
If a DNS server doesn't have data to answer a request, it makes a request to a root-name server. The root-name server will return address of a DNS server where data can be found. Each domain name on Internet is required to be listed on a minimum of two DNS servers. This is so if one of DNS servers goes down, requests for domains address can still be answered. DNS also performs IP address to domain name translation. This makes it possible for servers to log accesses and for administrators to perform certain administrative and security tasks. Information communicated over Internet is broken into "packets" by Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP attaches IP address of requested domain to each packet so that they can be routed to domain. TCP also attaches IP address of requesting computer to packets so that responses can be routed back. When you enter, or click on, a web address in your browser, Internet's Domain Name Service (DNS) translates web address to web sites IP address. This is only part of story of how your computer connects to Web site you requested. In a future article you'll learn about amazing process performed by routers. ---------------------------------------------------------- Resource Box: Copyright(C)2002 Bucaro TecHelp.
