What Are the Risks of Upgrading a Computer Processor? by Elizabeth Mott Computers offer greater value when you can keep them running for a long and productive working life. Replacing your CPU's current processor with a faster upgrade can enable you to extend the usefulness of the rest of your system’s components. To avoid damaging your hardware instead of improving it, take the time to understand the procedures involved in each upgrade step and the risks that accompany an installation mistake. Socket Compatibility Your processor plugs in to the computer's motherboard, the circuit board on which all your system's components connect, through a processor socket. Because different motherboards use different socket types, choosing a processor upgrade for your current system means limiting the processors you consider to those that use the same connection as your current hardware. Otherwise, you may face a cascading list of upgrades from motherboard to RAM and video card, as

Evolution

Skull elements extracted from the Paris specimen, 1866 The affinities of the Mascarene parrot are unclear, and two hypotheses have competed since the mid-19th century. [12] Some authors grouped it with the Coracopsinae (of African origin) due to its dark plumage, and others with the Psittaculinae parrots (of Asian origin) based on the large red beak, a feature which is diagnostic for that group. [6][13] Its plumage pattern was mostly atypical for a psittaculine, though other members have black facial patterns. [2] Although little is known about most extinct parrot species of the Mascarenes, subfossil remains show that they shared common features, such as enlarged heads and jaws, reduced pectoral bones, and robust leg bones. Hume supported their common origin in the radiation of the Psittaculini tribe based on morphological features and the fact that Psittacula parrots have managed to colonise many isolated islands in the Indian Ocean .[2] Sea levels were lower during the Pleisto

Series summary The Series started on October 28, 2009,

which was the latest start in World Series history. [54] Game 4 was played on Sunday, November 1 and the series-winning Game 6 took place on November 4. The Series was only the third to end in a month other than October. The first came in 1918 , which was played entirely in September after the regular season was cut short due to World War I. [55] The other such series was in 2001 when the September 11 attacks caused a delay in the baseball season that eventually forced the end of the World Series into November. Earlier in the season Commissioner Bud Selig expressed interest in scheduling a World Series game during daylight hours instead of the evening. [57] The starting times were ultimately moved before 8 p.m. ET for the first time in 30 years, but no day games were played.

The hard-running striker was tightly marked by Simphiwe Hlongwane, who has established himself as a key defender for the hosts this season.

Kaizer Chiefs’ poor run of form is cause for concern, admitted coach Giovanni

Kaizer Chiefs’ poor run of form is cause for concern, admitted coach Giovanni Solinas as AmaKhosi were beaten in the Soweto derby by arch rivals Orlando Pirates. It was a fourth match without victory for the club and saw them drop to fifth in the standings with just 14 points from 11 games. “I agree that in the last games we haven’t collected points and that is not good enough for Kaizer Chiefs. “But, in my opinion, we have the potential to win several matches in a row. There is no reason we cannot we win three, four or five games in a row. This is such a balanced league that if you do that you go right up the table,” Solinas told the post-match press conference. “We will continue fighting and trying to put Chiefs in a high position on the log. “But the current position is no good for us. I believe are able to win three or four games (in a row) and the league is a long way from being over. The season only ends in May.” He said players needed to show more character. “To play for

Plate from Comte de Buffon 's encyclopaedia Histoire Naturelle , 1700s In 2012, Leo Joseph and colleagues acknowledged the finding but pointed out that the sample might have been damaged and that further testing was needed before the issue could be fully resolved. They also noted that if Mascarinus was confirmed to be embedded within the genus Coracopsis , the latter would become a junior synonym, since the former name is older. [16] In 2012, Hume expressed surprise at these findings due to the anatomical similarities between the Mascarene parrot and other parrots from the Mascarene islands that are believed to be psittaculines. He also pointed out that there is no fossil evidence found on other islands to support the hypothesis that the species evolved elsewhere before reaching Réunion. [8] In 2017, Lars Podsiadlowski and colleagues sampled the Vienna specimen for a new genetic study and found that the Mascarene parrot was indeed part of the Psittacula group as suggested by Hu
