Question

1).Which two of the following expansion slots would more likely be found on a server motherboard than on a desktop motherboard? a).PCI b).PCIX c).PCIe X1 d).PCIe X16 e). PCIe X4 2).SoDIMMs are likely to be found in which 3 of the following? (Choose 3!) a).Desktops b). Routers c).Servers d).Laser printers e). Mainframes f).Notebooks/Laptops 3). Windows 10 has just been installed on a desktop computer with a 22” widescreen LCD monitor. The computer has 4 GB of RAM, a 4th generation Core i5 processor, and integrated video. Everything is working including sound, Internet access, and the ability to access all storage devices. The display is working but the user is unable to display a resolution higher than 1280 by 800. Prior to this installation, when running Windows 7, the user was able to display a resolution of 1920 by 1080. The most likely problem is _____. a). With Windows 10, monitors 23" and larger must be used in order to display resolutions higher than 1280 by 800 b). Windows is using a Standard VGA driver for the video c). RAM will need to be increased to 8 GB or higher in order to display a higher resolution. d). Integrated video cannot display a resolution higher than 1280 by 800. 4). 4 GB is the maximum addressable memory in a 32-bit system. Many such systems with 4 GB of RAM installed will only show 3.5 GB (or less) RAM. This discrepancy is due to which of the following? a).The difference between calculations used by RAM manufacturers and Microsoft b).Some addressable space is required for the BIOS/UEFI and I/O devices c). Microsoft rounded up in their statement of maximum addressable memory d). The operating system is consuming part of memory e). Overhead needed for the swap file 5). A device driver is best described as ____. a). Hardware that interfaces with a peripheral device b). Software that Windows uses to communicate with a peripheral device c). A tool that is used to drive the cable into the connector when making device cables d). A storage unit, such as va hard drive or solid-state drive 6). The device boot order (boot priority) is determined by settings in the _____. a).CMOS b). Windows Registry c). Partition table d). GPT 7). Which three of the following CPUs are in Intel’s current mainstream and enthusiastic desktop market? a). Core i3 b). Core i5 c). Core i7 d). Pentium e). Celeron f). Sempron g). Athlon h). FX 8). Which of the following is a key difference between BIOS and UEFI? a). The BIOS is not firmware b). UEFI uses higher-level drivers for communicating with hardware c). The BIOS is volatile, UEFI is non-volatile d). All BIOS chips are installed in sockets, only UEFI uses EEPROM technology. 9). USB 3.0 is capable of simultaneous (full-duplex) reading and writing but USB 2.0 can only send data one direction (half-duplex) at a time. a). True b). False 10). Windows 8.1 has just been installed on a computer by an end user. The user complains that the sound does not work and he cannot access anything on the Internet. Other computers on his home network are working normally. The most likely problem is _____. a). The wrong version of Windows was installed for his hardware b). Windows could not determine and install the correct device drivers for sound and network c). The router is misconfigured or there is a problem with the ISP d). The power supply is not outputting the correct voltage on the orange wires
