CPU (Processor) Testing
SVANDUSEN 19:13, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
CPUs are the "brains of the computer system. This is where all of the information and instructions are gathered from, processed, and redistributed to the other components of the system. The following will be a description of a VERY RUDIMENTARY TEST to determine the viability of a CPU to function in a system. In actuality, there are a multitude of details and issues involved that would take far more space to cover and time to perform than is practical in these circumstances. This is a very basic overview of the essentials that are necessary to get through the process. For more information please consult other experienced volunteers, instructors, or research such sources as Wikipedia or forums on Google.
