  < Day Day Up > 

  1. Which of the following are valid AMD processors? (Choose Two)

    1. Athlon

    2. Celeron

    3. K6

    4. K9

    Correct Answers = A and C.

    The AMD Athlon and the AMD K6 are valid AMD processors. Intel developed the Celeron processor. K9 is used as a description for police dogs.

  2. Which of the following processors runs at 66MHz motherboard speed?

    1. Pentium III 500

    2. Pentium 4

    3. Pentium II 300

    4. 80386

    Correct Answer = C.

    The Intel Pentium II 300 runs at 66MHz motherboard speed. See Table 3.1 for Pentium II processor and motherboard speed comparison.

  3. Which of the following processors runs at 100MHz motherboard speed?

    1. Pentium III 500

    2. XT

    3. Pentium I

    4. 80386

    Correct Answer = A.

    The Pentium II 350MHz through the Pentium III series processors are intended to run at 100MHz motherboard bus speed.

  4. Your processor fan has malfunctioned. What result might you expect? (Choose Two)

    1. Serial port errors

    2. Processor damage

    3. 601 POST error

    4. System halts

    Correct Answers = B and D.

    If your processor fan has failed or malfunctioned, your system may lock up or ‘halt,' and your processor may suffer irreversible damage due to overheating.

  5. The AMD Duron processor was developed with what type of workstation in mind?

    1. Low end

    2. Mid-range

    3. High end

    4. MSCDEX

    Correct Answer = B.

    The AMD Duron processor was developed for mid-range workstations.

  6. What should you always put your processor and other components in when storing or transporting them?

    1. An EMI bag

    2. An FDISK bag

    3. A grocery bag

    4. An antistatic ESD bag

    Correct Answer = D.

    An antistatic ESD bag will protect your processor as well as other electronic computer components from electrostatic discharge.

  7. You are considering upgrading your processor. What must you also consider for this upgrade?

    1. An NLM

    2. A permanent swap file

    3. An MPV

    4. A VRM

    5. Your jealous friend's feelings

    6. None of the above

    Correct Answer = D.

    If you are considering upgrading your processor, it is a must that you consult both the processor and motherboard manufacturers' instructions regarding the specific voltage requirements for your new processor's core and I/O functions. You may need to add a VRM, depending on the voltage requirement of your new processor.

  8. To provide faster access to memory, and to provide better overall application and system support, CPU manufacturers have added this to newer processors. What is it?

    1. ESD protection

    2. VLM

    3. L6 cache

    4. L3 cache

    5. Seal of approval

    6. None of the above

    Correct Answer = D.

    The L3 cache addition to newer processors has dramatically increased the speed at which a processor, or dual processors can access stored information. This in turn provides better processor support for overall application access speed and system support.

  9. Which of the following processor lines have products that utilize Socket 478 technology? (Choose Two)

    1. Pentium 4 (Northwood)

    2. Celeron

    3. Duron

    4. Pentium III

    Correct Answers = A and B.

    Both Pentium 4 and Celeron's latest incarnation both use Socket 478. The Duron uses both Socket A and Slot A technology, and the Pentium III uses either Slot 1 or Socket 370 technology.

  10. A first series of Pentium 4 processors had how much L2 cache?

    1. 128K

    2. 256K

    3. 512K

    4. The first model of Pentium 4 had no L2 cache

    Correct Answer = B.

    The first Pentium 4s were enabled with 256K of L2 cache, which has since been updated to 512K

  11. Which of these are necessary in a liquid cooling system? (Choose Two)

    1. Radiator/Fan

    2. Heat sink/Fan combination for the processor

    3. Water block

    4. A water filter

    Correct Answers = A and C.

    A liquid cooling system requires a radiator with a fan to help dissipate heat from the radiator, tubing, water reservoir, and a water block (which acts as a sort of heat sink for the processor-that water flows through a radiator/fan and a water block). The water block, as the primary cooling device, replaces a heat sink/fan combination for the CPU in a liquid cooling setup. While a water filter sounds good in theory, the water/coolant must be changed routinely to avoid algae/mineral deposits.
