An electronic device includes a circuit board, a connector and an electronic module. The connector includes an insulating body and a first terminal set. The insulating body includes a concave. The first terminal set is fastened on the insulating body and is electrically connected to the circuit board. The electronic module is detachably disposed in the concave and includes a second terminal set. The second terminal set contacts the first terminal set to be electrically connected to the circuit board.

Electronic device

A computer system includes a central processing unit (CPU), a north bridge, a south bridge, a bridge and a slot. The north bridge is electrically connected to the CPU. The bridge is electrically connected to the north bridge and the south bridge, and the connector is connected to the bridge. The bridge generates a first data and a second data according to the data packages transmitted from the north bridge and adjusts the output bandwidth of the first data and the second data according to a channel control signal. The south bridge receives or transfers the first data via the bridge so as to communicate with the north bridge. The slot is electrically connected to the bridge and receives or transfers the second data via the bridge so as to communicate with the north bridge.

Computer system with bridge

A method for booting a computer system is provided. In the method for booting the computer system, a memory space is created using a BIOS to simulate a virtual disk. The virtual disk is used to execute operations which have to be executed via a floppy disk drive. The operations are executed in the virtual disk via the BIOS. In addition, a second virtual disk is created for storing program files needed in installing the operating system.

Method for booting computer system

A computer system and related method for playing audio signals when booting the computer system. The computer system includes an audio circuit for playing an audio file when booting and a memory embedded in the audio circuit or externally coupled to the audio circuit for storing the audio file. It is realized by utilizing hardware and by executing software to overcome silence during booting, and to provide more selection and enjoyment for a user during booting.
