Exam 4: Supporting Processors and Upgrading Memory

 After installing the processor, if the system begins the boot process and suddenly turns off before completing the boot, the processor is most likely overheating.

 What can a DIMM use to hold data and amplify a signal just before the data is written to the module?

 The two major manufacturers of processors are Intel and NVIDIA.

 After you have installed a processor, what should you do if you turn on the system and power comes on but you don't see any output on the screen and the system does not seem to be going through its normal boot procedure?

 What technology in a DIMM informs the BIOS of the module's size, speed, voltage, and data path width?

 What type of RAM is typically installed onto a motherboard and loses data rapidly, requiring it to be refreshed often?

 Hybrid processors that can process 32 bits or 64 bits are known by what term?

Matching Match each item with a statement below. - the speed at which the processor operates internally and is measured in gigahertz

 Describe the three different categories of processors that must be considered when choosing what type of operating system to install.

Matching Match each item with a statement below. - compares bits written to a memory module to what is later read from the module, and it can detect and correct an error in a single bit of the byte.

 Modern desktop motherboards and laptop motherboards all utilize what what two types of DRAM respectively?

Matching Match each item with a statement below. - double-sided DIMMs that provide more than one bank

 What component of a processor holds instructions waiting to be processed by the ALU?

 What are the two different ways of measuring access timing for memory?

 When installing a processor, you must line up the red circle on the processor with the right-angle mark on the motherboard.

 List the four major categories of memory modules and mention how they are used today.

 A DDR4 DIMM with a PC rating of PC4-17000 is running at what speed?

 What type of processor memory is located on the processor chip (processor die)?

Matching Match each item with a statement below. - an older type of memory module designed by RAMBUS

 Multiple processors can be installed in a single processor housing.
