13. Michaela wishes to upgrade the DDR RAM, in his system with DDR2. Didier says she can't because sticks of DDR2, won't fit in the motherboard slots that currently hold Micheala's DDR RAM. Stuart says he can use DDR2 in his system, but won't see any speed benefit, because the motherboard only supports DDR. Who is correct?

Didier is correct

Stuart is correct

Both Didier and Stuart are correct

Neither Didier or stuart are correct

Didier is correct, Motherboard only supports a certain type of RAM

Explanation

Didier is correct, Motherboard only supports a certain type of RAM

16. SDRAM ,comes in sticks called?

SIMMS

Rimms

CRIMMS

DIMMS

SDRAM,comes on sticks called Dual inline memory modules (dimms)

Explanation

17. What is the DDR speed rating for a PC speed rating of pc3700?

DDR 400

DDR 433

DDR 466

DDR 499

3700/8 = 466 and the clock speed is 233 mhz
To work this out clock speed x 2 = DDR speed rating x 8 = pc speed rating,and pc speed rating /8 = DDR speed rating/2 = clock speed

Explanation

3700/8 = 466 and the clock speed is 233 mhz
To work this out clock speed x 2 = DDR speed rating x 8 = pc speed rating,and pc speed rating /8 = DDR speed rating/2 = clock speed
