The peripheral component used to attach a computer to a network is called a NIC. True or False?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A NIC, or Network Interface Card, is indeed the peripheral component used to attach a computer to a network. It allows the computer to connect to the network and communicate with other devices on that network.Rate this question:

The three most common slots for peripheral device connection are _____________, _____________, and _____________.
-
ISA, PDI, AGE
-
PCI, ISA, AGP
-
IMA, APG, PIC
-
DMA, IRQ, PCI
Correct Answer
A. PCI, ISA, AGPExplanation
The correct answer is PCI, ISA, AGP. These are the three most common slots for peripheral device connections. PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) is a standard for connecting peripheral devices to a computer motherboard. ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) is an older standard that was commonly used for connecting expansion cards to the motherboard. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is a specialized slot for connecting graphics cards to the motherboard, providing faster data transfer for improved graphics performance.Rate this question:

Hard disks are typically divided into __________, which contain __________.
-
Partitions, filesystems
-
Filesystems, partitions
-
Extensions, logical drives
-
Logical drives, extensions
Correct Answer
A. Partitions, filesystemsExplanation
Hard disks are typically divided into partitions, which contain filesystems. Partitions are separate sections or divisions on a hard disk that can be used to organize and manage data. Each partition can have its own filesystem, which determines how the data is stored and accessed on that particular partition. By dividing the hard disk into partitions and assigning filesystems to each partition, it becomes easier to manage and organize data on the disk.Rate this question:

RAM and ROM are both forms of random access memory. True or False?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
RAM and ROM are not both forms of random access memory. While RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be read from and written to, ROM (Read-Only Memory) is a type of memory that can only be read from and not written to. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

EEPROM stands for:
-
Erratic extensible program random object memory
-
Elastic erasable project read-only memory
-
Electronically erasable programmable read-only memory
-
Easily erasable programmable read-only memory
Correct Answer
A. Electronically erasable programmable read-only memoryExplanation
EEPROM stands for electronically erasable programmable read-only memory. EEPROM is a type of non-volatile memory that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. It is commonly used in electronic devices for storing small amounts of data that need to be retained even when the power is turned off. Unlike regular read-only memory (ROM), EEPROM can be updated and reprogrammed multiple times, making it a flexible and reusable memory solution.Rate this question:

The BIOS configuration of a computer is typically stored on a _______ chip on the mainboard.
-
AGP
-
CMOS
-
EEPM
-
ROM
Correct Answer
A. CMOSExplanation
The BIOS configuration of a computer is typically stored on a CMOS chip on the mainboard. CMOS stands for Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, which is a type of technology used to store data in a low-power, non-volatile memory chip. This chip retains the BIOS settings even when the computer is powered off or the main power source is disconnected. The CMOS chip is commonly found on the motherboard and is responsible for storing important system information such as date and time, hardware settings, and boot order.Rate this question:

Static Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) is a permanent memory store that requires no flow of electricity to be maintained. True or False?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The correct answer is False. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is a type of memory that requires a constant flow of electricity to retain data. When the power supply is removed, the stored data is lost. This is in contrast to Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), which does not require a continuous flow of electricity to maintain data. SDRAM is a type of DRAM, so it also requires electricity to retain data. Therefore, the statement that SDRAM is a permanent memory store that requires no flow of electricity to be maintained is false.Rate this question:

There are normally four LPT ports and two COM ports on most main boards. True or False?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
False. There are normally one LPT port and one COM port on most main boards.Rate this question:

There can be ___________ primary partition(s) on an HDD.
-
Two
-
Three
-
One
-
Four
Correct Answer
A. FourExplanation
The statement suggests that there can be four primary partitions on an HDD. This means that an HDD can be divided into four separate sections, each functioning as an independent storage unit. This allows for better organization and allocation of data on the HDD.Rate this question:

A user normally accesses the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) of a computer after powering it on by pressing the:
-
F8 key
-
BIOS key
-
Del key
-
Any key
Correct Answer
A. Del keyExplanation
The user normally accesses the BIOS of a computer after powering it on by pressing the Del key. The BIOS is a firmware that initializes the hardware components of the computer and allows the user to configure various settings. By pressing the Del key during the startup process, the user can enter the BIOS setup utility and make changes to settings such as boot order, system time, and hardware configurations.Rate this question:

The System Monitor in the Windows Control Panel can be used to determine the hardware configuration of a computer system. True or False?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The System Monitor in the Windows Control Panel is not used to determine the hardware configuration of a computer system. It is used to monitor and display information about the performance of the computer, such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk activity. To determine the hardware configuration of a computer system, one would typically use tools like Device Manager or System Information. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

____________ is/are directly wired to the processor.
-
Physical memory
-
Hard disk drives
-
Random object memory
-
Keyboards
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Physical memoryExplanation
Physical memory, also known as RAM (Random Access Memory), is directly wired to the processor. It is a type of computer memory that stores data and instructions that the processor needs to access quickly. Unlike hard disk drives, which are non-volatile storage devices, physical memory is volatile and loses its data when the computer is turned off. Random object memory and keyboards are not directly wired to the processor, so they are not the correct answer. Therefore, the correct answer is physical memory.Rate this question:
