Abstract: A method and a motherboard for automatically determining the memory type. By applying the characteristics of different operational voltages for various dynamic random access memory modules, a software program is used to drive a control signal and to automatically adjust the control voltage of the dynamic random access memory. An automatic detection of the types of the dynamic random access memory is obtained. The objectives of protecting the dynamic random access memory and to allow the dynamic random access memory to operate normally can thus be achieved. The invention not only provides the detection mechanism for accessing the dynamic random access memory during the initial activation of the computer system, but also determines the voltages required by the memory module for the computer system to enter various power saving modes.

The computer system includes a data output unit, a data source, a data processing module and a state monitor unit. The data processing module accesses and processes data from the data source, and transmits the processed data to the data output unit.

Abstract: A hard drive assessing method and a hard drive assessing system supporting a maximum transmission rate of a hard drive are provided, wherein the hard drive is accessed by a controller, and both the controller and the hard drive support a plurality of transmission rates. The maximum transmission rate of the hard drive is first obtained. When the controller reads data from the hard drive, the transmission rate of the controller is set to be not lower than the maximum transmission rate, and the transmission rate of the hard drive is maintained at the maximum transmission rate. When the controller writes data into the hard drive, the transmission rate of the controller is reduced to be lower than the maximum transmission rate, and the transmission rate of the hard drive is maintained at the maximum transmission rate. Thereby, the hard drive can be accessed at its maximum transmission rate.
