    What is the storage capacity of a floppy disk?

    • 858MB

    • 98MB

    • 1.44MB

    • Whatever size you want

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.44MB
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1.44MB. Floppy disks were a popular storage medium in the past, and the most common size was the 1.44MB capacity. This means that the floppy disk could store approximately 1.44 megabytes of data. Other options given in the question, such as 858MB and 98MB, are not correct as they do not align with the standard capacity of a floppy disk. The option "Whatever size you want" is also incorrect as it implies that the capacity of a floppy disk can be customized, which is not the case.

    Can you use a motherboard socket of LGA775 for socketLGA771?

    • Yes, because thay are all sockets

    • No, because they don't match

    • Whatever

    Correct Answer
    A. No, because they don't match
    Explanation
    The answer is "No, because they don't match" because LGA775 and LGA771 are different socket types and are not compatible with each other. The number in the socket type indicates the number of pins on the socket, and since LGA775 has a different pin configuration than LGA771, a motherboard with LGA775 socket cannot be used for a CPU with LGA771 socket.

The FAN helps to circulate air around the CPU, removing the excess heat and maintaining a safe operating temperature. By preventing the CPU from overheating, the FAN ensures that the CPU does not blow or get damaged.
