| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are advantages of DDR4 over DDR3, assuming same operating frequency? | DDR4 doubles data transfer rate of DDR3; DDDR4 uses less power than DDR3 |
| Which of the following BEST describes theoretical capacity of DDR standard memory module? | 512 GB |
| Your motherboard has sockets for 184-pin DIMM RAM. Which type of RAM should you install? | DDR |
| Customer needs to use several applications. Currently, the computer cannot keep all the necessary applications running at the same time. Which of the following components should you consider upgrading? | Memory |
| A laptop that you previously purchased was shipped with SO-DIMM memory to accommodate the laptop's form factor. You would like to upgrade memory. Which of the following is an upgrade to SO-DIMM standard? | UniDIMM |
| Which of the following memory ratings identifies fastest memory? | DDR-1600 |
| Dual-channel memory systems only theoretically double memory bandwidth. What is the bandwidth increase in actual terms? | 5-15% |
| Your server runs in quadruple-channel memory mode. How many memory controllers are being used? | Four |
| Which of the following DDR memory types can be used by a triple-channel memory system? | DDR3 and DDR4 |
| You want to build a new system that supports 16 GB of memory. Which of the following is the MOST important consideration when building the computer? | 64-bit processor |
| You work as the IT administrator for a small corporate network. Employee in the support department, wants to run virtual machine for troubleshooting customer issues, needs very stable computer. Need to decide whether to install buffered or non-buffered R | Buffered memory reduces the load on the memory controller and allows the system to be more stable |
| With a memory module read request, there is a delay between the time of the data request and the time the data is available for output from the memory module. | CAS latency |
| You want to build new system that supports 16 GB of memory. Which of the following is MOST important consideration when building computer? | 64-bit processor |
| Employee in support department, wants to run virtual machine on his computer for troubleshooting customers issues, and he needs very stable computer from which to work. You need to decide whether to install buffered or non-buffered RAM in his computer | Buffered memory reduces the load on the memory controller and allows system to be more stable |
| With a memory module read request, there is a delay between the time of data request and the time data is available for output from the memory module | CAS latency |
| You've just upgraded memory in one of your network servers by adding two 4-GB ECC memory cards. Before purchasing new memory, you made sure that the modules fit in memory slots (packaging) and the speed (memory frequency) was supported by the memory contr | Whether or not existing memory modules support ECC |
| Older computer four DDR2 memory slots. There are two 512-MB memory modules installed. You check the motherboard documentation and find that the system has a 4-GB memory limitation. You want to add more memory to this system. What is the maximum total amo | 3 GB |
| Which of the following statements is true regarding single-and double-sided memory? | Single-side memory uses half the number of memory modules as double-sided memory of the same capacity |
| You are in a carpeted office lighted by fluorescent bulbs. You are preparing to add memory modules to a user's computer. The user has already unpacked the memory modules and stacked them on top of an old, unused CRT monitor. What is the greatest threat to | Electrostatic discharge |
| Which of the following is most common method for removing RAM from a motherboard? | Move tabs holding RAM out of the way; then pull straight up to remove RAM |
| You are trying to push memory module into memory slot, but is not seating properly. What is the MOST likely issue? | You are trying to install memory module backwards in memory slot |
| You have existing system that has single DDR3 memory module installed. YOu would like to add more memory to the three remaining empty memory slots | Purchase additional modules that are the same as what is currently installed; Check the motherboards documentation to find which modules are supported |
| You are attempting to boot new system. Boot fails, and the system sounds a beep code. Which of the following describes MOST likely cause of this error? | Either no memory is installed or the memory was not detected |
| Which of the following are critical times when memory problems manifest themselves | After you remove or install hardware; On the first boot of new computer |
| Software installation | This event can require more memory and can cause problems if there is not enough memory when it occurs |
| Memory is not properly seated, is missing, or motherboard is defective | First boot of a new computer |
| Incompletely or improperly doing this can cause errors that appear to be memory-related | Hardware installation or removal |
| The memory is incompatible and was not installed and configured properly | Memory upgrade |
| Installed new computer with quad-core 64 processor, 6 GB of memory, and PCIe video card memory. After installing the operating system, see less than 4 GB of memory showing as available in Windows. Which of the following actions would MOST likely correct | Install a 64-bit version of the operating system |
| Which of the following are MOST likely signs that your computer might need more memory? | Your hard drive is constantly operating as you work; Your hard drive light on the system case is on for long periods of time |
| Motherboard has four memory slots and supports dual-channel memory. You install two memory modules. When you boot the computer. BIOS recognizes both modules, but the memory is not configured to run in dual-channel mode. What should you do to resolve? | Move the modules to the correct motherboard slots |
| After installing new RAM module, you boot your 64-bit system, but the display remains blank. What is the MOST likely cause of this issue? | You have installed a non-parity RAM on an EC system |
| Which type of software-generated problems can indicate that software bug is causing memory error? | Page fault; Exception error; General-protection fault |
| You have just built new system from scratch. You turn computer on, but system boot fails and sounds a beep code. Which of the following is MOST likely cause? | Memory is not installed or is not detected |
| After installing two memory modules, you power on the system to check for errors. You find that BIOS program recognizes only one of the memory modules. Which of the following is BEST to try first when troubleshooting this issue? | Make sure that both modules are seated properly in their slots |
