Management 451 5/9/2012 Tanglewood Case 2 This report contains the historical staffing data from two divisions of Tanglewood in the Washington State area, spanning the last five years. The data is presented using the transitional probability matrix.

Jason Maysonet (16009681) 2/15/13 TB143 Unit 8 Analysis 1: System Performance OK, you know that the CPU, the RAM, the Video Card Processor or GPU and Video Card RAM or VRAM all determine the performance of the system – to a certain extent. And you also know that the performance impact of changing one component is dependent on the motherboard and other existing components, for example, you cannot simply continually increase CPU speed and think that you current computer will simply keep on getting faster and faster, but how do these different components interact with one another in terms of performance impact? Also, we know that more RAM is in general always better, but we also know that 32-bit computing systems can’t really sensibly make use of more than 3.2GB RAM. So it’s all good to try and smack 16Gigs of RAM into your 32-bit Windows XP machine, but it will be a total waste of money on 13GB of RAM. Also we know that more processes running on your computer will in general mean less CPU’s horsepower available for other tasks.
