Associate in Computer System and Network Technology

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Computer System and Network Technology program has been designed to equip students the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies in the application of computer system and networking technologies in various environments. It provides the basic principles of communication and work standards, and theories and trainings on the use of computers in the design, implementation, and maintenance of network technologies.

Students cover all aspects of diagnosing, installs, troubleshoots, repairs and maintains personal computer systems and maintains, fine tunes, monitors and troubleshoots networks including file servers, workstations, cable, NIC cards, shared resources (printer, hard disks install), network operating system, hubs, switches and routers.

Students receive the practical education needed to qualify them for entry-level positions in Computer and Networking fields. Program courses prepare you for an entry-level job in computer services and network repair, or as a technician who tests and develops new products. You might also land a position installing, maintaining and troubleshooting computer networks. The curriculum offers a solid background in digital electronics and microprocessor technology. You'll learn the necessary theory, and apply it hands-on in labs for assembling, testing and troubleshooting circuits.

The modules in this program will be delivered through (a) interactive discussions in the classroom utilizing visual aids and other teaching materials to gain the knowledge and (b) laboratory classes to acquire the required skills and competencies. Take home reading assignments may also be given from time to time.

Upon completion of this course, the trainees/students with the necessary competencies should be able to perform the duties, responsibilities and acquired attitude relevant to the job titles: Computer and Network Administrator, Systems Administrator, LAN/WAN Manager, or an IT Manager. The AMA Computer Learning Center is the only and best Computer school in Capiz that will provide the students quality and globally recognized IT-based Education in all levels. The vision of AMA to become the leader and dominant provider of quality and excellent information technology-based education and related services in the global market.

NForce790i SLI Motherboard

Nvidia release a new motherboard, the NForce 790i SLI FTW (For The Win) from EVGA. The new 790i SLI motherboard is completely new and different board because it has a digital PWM or Digital Pulse-Width Modulation, what it does do, so that you can overclock further. If you try to look at 790i SLI, it looks pretty much the same with the old ones but there are few things that are missing especially on the CPU area. You will notice that there are no transistors, capacitors, they not there, and that’s because all the power of the board is controlled digitally with the digital PWM. So that, it will give you more stable frequency, more stable voltage, clean power, and higher efficiency rating. EVGA claims that their use of solid-state capacitors and 100-percent ferrite-core chokes should also improve the board’s signal-to-noise ratios in extreme overclocking situations. The 790i SLI is the best for gaming, the reason is there are three PCI Express x16 slots so that you can try three SLI video card monster on the board. Another reason that 790i SLI motherboard are really good it’s because it has 4 DDR 3 memory slots, it can support up to 2000 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1,600MHz front-side bus. The only way you can get to 2000 MHz if you use the SLI ready memory with EPP (Enhanced Performance Profile). The 790i SLI is also equip with VDROOP to keep your voltage stable when transition from idle to load and it protects the CPU from voltage spikes as the processor swings between light and heavy workloads. Let’s get to the overall view of the components of 790i SLI motherboard. Socket 775 supports 1600 MHZ FSB, 8 GB of DDR3 memory, three PCI Express x16 slots, two PCI Express x1 slots and two regular PCI slots. There are nine SATA headers, E-SATA, two gigabit LAN, two PS2 ports, coaxial and optical S/PDIF, 7.1 HD audio, ten USB ports and IDE and Floppy headers in case you want to use some of those ancient technologies or something like that. For me, I like EVGA it is an awesome brand and for three reasons. First, the 90 day Step-Up program, if there something new they let you Step-Up on it. Second, 24 hour costumer support just in case you need help. And last, it has a Limited Lifetime Warranty, if there’s anything goes wrong with your board, you got a new one without loosing money.
