| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who are the two major manufacturers of processors? | Intel and AMD |
| What is the name of the memory cache that is on the same die as the processor? | L1 Cache |
| What is the name of the memory cache that is closest to the processor die but is not housed on the die? | L2 Cache |
| What is the name of the Intel technology that allows a processor to handle two threads at the same time? | hyper threading |
| How many threads can a quad-core processor handle at once? | 8 |
| Which Intel processor uses a screw head to hold down the socket load plate? | LGA1155 |
| Which is faster, SRAM or DRAM? Why? | SRAM becuase DRAM needs to refresh more times than SRAM |
| How many pins are on a DDR3 and DDR2 DIMM? | 240 |
| How many pins are on a DDR DIMM? | 184 |
| How many pins are on a SDRAM DIMM? | 168 |
| How many notches does a DDR3 DIMM have? | one |
| What was the first type of DIMM that ran sychronized with the system clock? | SDRAM |
| What major improvement did DDR make over regular SDRAM? | 2x faster |
| Which DIMM performs better, a double-sided dual-ranked DIMM or a double-sided SINGLE-ranked DIMM? | single-ranked |
| What prevents a DDR DIMM from being installed in a DDR2 DIMM slot on a motherboard? | the notch |
| Which module has a lower voltage: DDR3 or DDR2? | DDR3 |
| In a memory ad for DIMMs, you notice 64Mb72 for one DIMM and 64Mb64 for another DIMM. What does the 72 tell you about the first DIMM? | 9-bit and ecc memory |
| A DIMM that contains memory chips in two memory banks on the module is said to be | dual ranked |
| If two bits of a byte are in error when the byte is read from ECC memory, can ECC read the error? Can it fix the error? | Yes, no |
| What type of DIMM supports triple channeling? | DDR3 |
| Looking at an SDRAM DIMM, how can you know for certain the voltage needed by the module? | where the notch is located at |
| How many Notches are on an SDRAM DIMM? | two |
| What is the most amount of RAM that can be used by a 32-bit installation of Windows 7 Professional? | 4 GB |
| A DIMM memory ad displays 5-5-5-15. What is the CAS Latency value of this DIMM? | CL5 |
| A motherboard uses dual channeling, but you have four DIMMs available that differ in size. The motherboard supports all four sizes. Can you install these DIMMs on the board? Will dual channeling be enabled? | yes you can still install but wont be able to dual channel |
| You need to upgrade memory on a motherboard that uses RIMMs. You notice one RIMM and one CRIMM (dummy) module already installed on the board. Which model should you replace? | replace the CRIMM |
| Which is faster, CL3 memory or CL5? | CL3 |
| What types of memory can be used on a 100-MHz (older) motherboard? | SDRAM and DDR |
| You are looking to purchase 2 DIMMs running at 400MHz. You find DIMMs advertised as PC4000 and PC3200. Which do you purchase? What do you divide by to find bus speed? | PC3200, divide by 8 |
| You need to find out how much RAM is installed in a system. What command do you enter in the search box to launch the System Information Utility? | msinfo32 |
| Although ECC memory costs more than non-ECC memory, why would you choose to use it? Which type of computer typically requires ECC memory? | you cant use in servers |
