This invention discloses a method of controlling the multimedia audio and video playback by installing an audio/video playback program, a playback control program, and a data storage medium in a computer device, wherein the audio/video playback program adjusts a setup value for each of the playback setup options and saves the adjusted setup value into the data storage medium, such that after the computer device is booted every time, the playback control program detects the execution of the audio/video playback program and determines whether or not a multimedia file is waiting to be executed; if yes, it loads the setup value of the playback setup option from the data storage medium, so that the audio/video playback program can play the multimedia file according to the content of the setup value.

Method of controlling multimedia audio and video playback

A computer coupling device is provided for coupling together two computer systems, such as a notebook computer and a desktop computer, to allow each computer to share the system resources of the other computer and to allow the two computer systems to perform dual-CPU parallel processing. When the notebook computer wants to gain access to the system resources of the desktop computer, the computer coupling device connects the host bus and the PCI bus of the notebook computer respectively to the host bus and the PCI bus of the desktop computer. Alternatively, when parallel processing is required, the computer coupling device connects the CPU of the notebook computer to the CPU of the desktop computer to allow the two CPUs to exchange data during dual-CPU parallel processing.
