Therefore, the correct answer is "s m t p" as it represents the acronym for the protocol used for sending emails.

Submit
14. Com1 is  _____, and has i/0 ___ and irq ______.

Explanation

The given answer indicates that "com1" is referring to a serial port. The value "3f8" suggests that the I/O (input/output) address for the port is 3f8, which is a common address for serial ports. The value "4" indicates that the IRQ (interrupt request) number for the port is 4, which is also a typical value for serial ports. Therefore, the correct answer implies that "com1" is a serial port with the I/O address 3f8 and IRQ number 4.

Submit
15. Lpt1 is  _____, and has i/0 ___ and irq ______.

Explanation

The correct answer is "parallel, 378, 7" because "lpt1" refers to the first parallel port on a computer. The parallel port is used for connecting devices such as printers, and it typically has a base I/O address of 378 and an IRQ (interrupt request) of 7.

Submit
16. Com2 is  _____, and has i/0 ___ and irq ______.

Explanation

The given answer indicates that "com2" refers to a serial port. The value "2f8" represents the I/O address of the port, and "3" represents the IRQ (Interrupt Request) number associated with it. This suggests that "com2" is a specific serial port on a computer system, identified by its I/O address and IRQ number.

Submit
17. FDD smallest size available is

Explanation

The smallest size available for FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) is 3 1/2".

Submit
18. Is condensation bad?

Explanation

Condensation can be considered bad in certain situations. When condensation occurs on surfaces like windows, walls, or pipes, it can lead to issues such as mold growth, water damage, and deterioration of materials. Excessive condensation can also be a sign of poor insulation or ventilation, which can contribute to energy inefficiency and higher utility bills. Therefore, it is generally seen as undesirable and something that should be addressed to maintain a healthy and well-maintained environment.

Submit
19. Uxga provides what resolution

Explanation

UXGA stands for Ultra eXtended Graphics Array, which is a display resolution standard. It provides a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. This means that the display has 1600 pixels in width and 1200 pixels in height. This resolution is higher than the other options mentioned in the question (1024x768 and 1280x1024), making it the correct answer.

Submit
20. Xga provdes what resoluton

Explanation

The correct answer is 1024/768 because XGA (Extended Graphics Array) is a display resolution of 1024x768 pixels. This resolution is commonly used for computer monitors and provides a balanced aspect ratio for viewing content.

23. Pick 2, what are examples of external cache

Explanation

The correct answer is L1 and L2. L1 and L2 cache are examples of external cache. L1 cache, also known as primary cache, is the closest cache to the CPU and has the fastest access time. It is typically built directly into the CPU. L2 cache, on the other hand, is a secondary cache that is located outside of the CPU but still closer than the main memory. It helps to improve the performance of the CPU by storing frequently accessed data. Both L1 and L2 cache play a crucial role in enhancing the overall speed and efficiency of the computer system.

Submit
24. What are the 4 file attributes?

Explanation

The correct answer includes the four file attributes: read only, archive, system, and hidden. These attributes determine the permissions and visibility of a file. The "read only" attribute restricts the file from being modified, the "archive" attribute marks the file for backup purposes, the "system" attribute indicates that the file is a system file, and the "hidden" attribute hides the file from being displayed in normal file listings.

Submit
25. Sxga provdes what resoluton

Explanation

SXGA (Super Extended Graphics Array) provides a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. This resolution is commonly used for computer monitors and provides a higher level of detail and clarity compared to lower resolutions like 1024x768. The first number (1280) represents the number of horizontal pixels, while the second number (1024) represents the number of vertical pixels. Therefore, the correct answer is 1280/1024.

27. What are the 2 worst conditions for comps that cause esd

Explanation

Cold and dry conditions are the two worst conditions for computers that cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). Cold conditions can increase the buildup of static electricity on surfaces, making it easier for a discharge to occur. Dry conditions can also contribute to the buildup of static electricity as moisture helps dissipate charges. When combined, cold and dry conditions create an environment where ESD is more likely to happen and can potentially damage computer components.
